I’ve seen photos of some F-16s flying against Iran in that Have Glass scheme… might have to build one for my collection… :hmm:

Ok... I took a look over in scalehobbyist and saw they have Tamiya lacquer Have Glass Grey V. I'm assuming that's a series 5 Have Glass Grey. Noted it was used on F-35s.

I'll check to see if my HobbyTown has it. Oh wait, they renamed it Turn 4 Toys & Hobbies. Apparently, the owner told me they lost the contract to HobbyTown.

AKInteractive also carries Have Glass Grey as well.

I found the have glass grey I have been looking for. Hobbylinc has True Colors Paint F-16 Have Glass Grey. Definitely matches the color that Medic posted on the F-16 and various photos of B-2 Stealth Bombers in that color. Time to break out the wallet… :giggles:

I was going to say that Tamiya Lacquer has the correct Have Glass V paint.

Yeah, I was going to stop at my LHS in Clinton first to see if they have it in their Tamiya lacquer line. If not, I'll order MRP Have Glass Grey.
