Nice SLUFF. Weathering is spot on and I like the helmet on the cockpit sill.

Eye watering. Nice work.

Nice work.

Eye watering

I received my order with the update sets yesterday. They look great; well printed and I like the honeycomb cage to protect the printed pieces. Anxious to use this set in a build. A F-16 update was long overdue. The other benefit is that it corrects the horrible UFC that Tamiya molded. I will be ordering the Blk 40/42 set when it comes out. Here’s hoping for some updated INANG Viper decals to go with it.

Congratulations on the pending nuptials and an early Happy Birthday.

Dang! I wish I had seen this thread before I ordered. Oh well, I won’t hold my breath to see my items anytime soon.

Good to know. I was in my LHS yesterday and they had the Minicraft/Academy B-52D on the shelf so I picked it up in anticipation of this sheet’s release.

It’s a Max 8, so no door plugs. Just make sure you have the procedure for a runaway stabilizer committed to memory in case the MCAS acts up. Nice build.

I like to hear that!

IN has released their new tails for their F-16’s. Probably too recent to see those on Dark Vipers V.

If you are in the US, Academy is distributed by MRC. I called them because I was missing a few parts that fell off the sprue. I was told that they don’t sell replacement sprue and the only thing I could do was return the kit to the retailer I purchased it from. They may be more helpful since you have a manufacturing defect. Outside of SAC, I’m not aware of any aftermarket landing gear. It would be nice if someone did 3D printed that offered a little more detail.

Looks great, nice work.
