The Springfield Vipers had the LAU-129 wingtip rails. The Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 CJ (Block 50) has all the correct parts.

Here are some pics of my 1/72 Hasegawa F-16 with Fox One Decals. Build thread is here:

The decals and flat coat are on. I wanted to check how the Future + food coloring experiment looked on the canopy. I'm pretty pleased. It's subtle, but there.

I’m looking for some leftover 1/72 F-4E decals for a build. I’m not too picky, preferably an early hardwing Vietnam era scheme, but run anything by me. Cont. US only, to make it easier on the seller. Thanks! -Bill

Out of the paint booth.

Back at it. Took a break to participate in the Monogram-Revell Group Build. Experimenting with Future and food coloring to try to simulate the iridescent gold canopy.

Excellent! I really like the display base, too.

Great looking Panther!! Now I need to re-watch "Bridges at Toko-Ri".

Thanks Phantom! And, thanks to you and Kurt H for hosting this GB. I love these nostalgic GB's, I feel like a kid again!

This is the 1/48 Monogram F-16A with Speed Hunter Graphics Decals.

Just finished this morning. Will post a few more pics in Completed Builds.

Decals are on. The Speed Hunter Graphics sheet was a joy to work with, excellent aftermarket decals! I should be able to finish this one up over the weekend.

I took a small break for Thanksgiving, and a few household projects. Back at it last night with a light wash on the landing gear and control surfaces. I'm planning to keep it pretty clean.

Out or the paint booth and ready for decals and weathering.
