cabo91 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Okay, Took a break from all of the Dios and conversions to do something fun. This kit was FUN! It goes together real nice and this one is all but out of the box. I put some Eduard PE on the seat and messed with the lenses some, but other than that.... Its pretty basic. Once again, gunze paints over a flat black basecoat. This thing was sooooo easy!! Enjoy it....I did!! Steven :huh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice Viper!!! Is that the kit burner can? Very nicely done. Cheers M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Good looking Viper, but I honestly think the colors look a bit too light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lock n' Load Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 ^ Camera Flash maybe? I love it cabo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cabo91 Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Actually I did color it with the original colors but I lightened em a bit. Just liked the look a bit more. Personal taste I guess. Oh...no, on the can... I forgot, the outside is the kit. The inside is a resin copy I made of the Aires F15E can that I simply mated to make it look a bit more real Steven Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two Mikes Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Excellent build Steven but one quick question....does the intake lip fit bad on the Tamiya kit?? I havent gotten to mine yet. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Excellent build Steven but one quick question....does the intake lip fit bad on the Tamiya kit?? I havent gotten to mine yet.Mike Hey Mike! Yep, it doesn't line up so well. Needs some fiddling, but comes out ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cabo91 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Basically yes... The lip has a weird fit. I had to sand mine down to almost paper-thin-ness toget it to look right. It is a fun build even with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cabo91 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Excellant Viper... welcome to the Tamiya club. Not to take away from your model ... your tail codes are reversed. LOL!! I won't be taking it to any contests then. It's those darn ADD drugs I take!! Gets my focus going but turns everything backward!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
