Does anyone know the Federal Standard for Venezuelan F-16?
I use Testors enamels. Maybe you can help me.
Thanks.
I’m originally from Venezuela and I have had contact with their F-16s… what do you mean by Federal Standards???
Hey Bodyguard,
This is what I found on the Venezuelan 16s so far.
As for the FS(Federal Standard) numbers, this is what I found but these colors may vary.
Upper surfaces:
Tan- FS 20400(may also want to add a lil white to the tan to lighten it up a bit)
Light Green 341002(US Light Green)
Dark Green 34079 or 34096
Under sides are FS 36492 Light Gray(basically a shade of an off white or a dirty white).
Also remember the paint job may very as well due to the weathering of each a/c and each a/c weathered differently from one another.
When I find more pics I’ll post em for you.
Flaps up, Mike
Thank you so much for your help. Those numbers were exactly what I wanted. I’m printing it now, this proyect has been waiting a loooong time. (F-16A 1/32 with FAV markings).

Was that the scheme that you were lookin for??
Mr Buzz:
There is a great stock of latinamerican markings (FAV F-16 Argentinian Air Force A-4, Mexican F-5 and T-33. Colombian Kfir,
Chilenian Hunters and Migs, Spanish Hornets (new markings) and even a beautifull P-51 from Guatemala) in Aztec productions. This is a mexican item but they are available at the web. The address is
The decals are available in 1/72 and 1/48 sacales. My own 1/32 decals were custom made in a PC.
I hope that will help you.
Thank you again, and let my know if you need something.
P.S
I´m looking for the latest scheme. that one that you gave me.
Hi Bodyguard,
There was a big photo article on Venezuelan F-16s in the August 2003 issue of Model Aircraft Monthly (Last issue).
Didn’t quote the FS numbers, but gave lots of good quality photos and unit info.
You can contact their office on +44 8707 333373 (Ask for Julie).
Alternatively you could mail them at mail@sampublications.co.uk
Hope this helps,
Rob M.

Thank you so much for your help. I´ll try to contact and get the magazine, but here en Mexico city is hard to find and hold that kind of specialized publications. I really appreciate your help. If you need something about “this side of Atlantic” let my know.
Butz,
Very interesting photos. Makes me want to do a Venezuelan F-16 myself, and park it beside my IDF F-16C. I remember Superscale came out with 72nd Venezuelan F-16 markings before. I wonder if those are still available.
