Thanks Rap,I really hope he does,this is my first commission,I'm a bit worried if the truth be known

Very,very nice Viper,those markings are fantastic,Afterburner Decals go on great don't they?

Fantastic build!Like that alot,I have a soft spot for Tiger Meet markings. On my to-do list

This is a commission build for Kerry Pliler,he helped design the markings for this jet,this is how it turned out,hope he likes it?,you're the first to see it.Still got a few small details to add and going to add some art to the Intake Covers. I used Revells fantastic 1/48 F-15 E,added some parts from the Wolfpack D resin set,decals from Two Bobs set with Future,handpainted with the old Aeromaster Gunship Gray.Panel wash from Pro Modeller,intake covers from Steel Beach. Both commissions together,90-0236 was painted with Gunze and 90-0250 was painted with Aeromaster,can't believe the dif

Just a few little details left to paint but this one is basically finished.Really hope he likes it.

Thanks Guys , Got the panel wash done tonight.I used Mr Phil Flory's wash from Pro Modeller. Thanks for looking,comments as always welcome. Jon
