Viper316

Thank you gents, much appreciated. Rod

Hello all, This is my attempt at the Italeri F-104G kit. I’ve been wanting to do a natural metal finish (NMF) in Luftwaffe markings for quite some time. My goal was to achieve a scale effect that makes the model look as close to 1:1 as possible. For the setting, I imagined this aircraft on a temporary duty assignment (TDY) to Torrejón Air Base in Spain, circa 1963–1964(brown grass backgound. I could not find much history for DC 107 other then delivered to Jabo 33 in May of 63. I added the Quinta Studio cockpit set, Master Model pitot tube, Quickboost intake covers, and Res Kit

I don't know if I have the adjectives for this. Truly this is one of the best I have seen in any scale! Your patience to stay with this project is admirable. One question, what did you use for your exterior wash? Again this is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Rod

This is FANTASTIC! Thanks sharing this. The bad part is that you are motivating me to build this kit, which I really don't want to :). Rod

Bit more done.

Hello all, Here are some pics of my TBD. Not a bad kit at all. very tight tolerances on some of the fit. I have added airscale's PE set really good stuff.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I flew with VP 17 from 1990-1993, I never found decals for them. I looked!! Rod

Thanks guys!! Brad I used Modelmaster paints on this build. Rod

As anyone built one of these? And if so, how was it. Seems like that kit has been under the radar. Rod

Particle board that I painted. Thanks for the comment and question. Rod

Nice looking jet and build. Rod

Very cool, nice presentation. Rod

Hi, Here are a couple of pics of my quick build of an H-34. I had not built a copter for a few years so I thought I would build one. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Nice work!! Really like your presentation. Thanks for sharing. Rod

AS a former 144th viper crew chief (84-316)I dig it!! I am sure General Flaugher (Ret) would dig it too. Rod

Nice build, really like the scheme you chose. Rod

I dig that!! Nice work. Rod

Hi Don, Thanks for taking the time to write. I got the kit on Ebay. Rod
