jochemp Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The waiting is always worth it my friend, u always delight us with your work. The viper was going in or coming home? Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
balls47 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Great job!!! It's too bad that that unit got BRAC'd. I went down to the 178FW in Springfield, OH towards the end of last summer and watched them fly their last "fini-flights." It's so sad to see these ANG units going away. They have such rich histories, but I guess that this is the "new" USAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diego Quijano Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Stunning job with that Viper. Really impresive, and nice display also. Congrats. Q Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liberator24 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Wow!! One of the best in-flights I have seen! Great Job, Jin! Wish I had that kind of talent!! -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Beary Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 As everyone else has said...stunning model, exquisite construction and paint and decal application. Flawless. And something else that really blows my mind.....you live on the other side of the world and you build this model of a plane that until recently flew over my house on the base leg to runway 10 at Syracuse. I miss hearing and seeing them. Superb model. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viperbite Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Thank you Wayne, Qian, Holmes, jochemp, balls47, Diego, Jake, Wolf, Jim and Bob, all of you, your supports are my strength always. To Jake, yes, they are occasionally hung by model aircrafts, and I always want to do some different among my vipers, but unfortunately after the two pods were done, I found that they might be a bit over-scale... To Bob, yes, it's sad. I've never seen a viper in person, the model is the only way I can be that close to the aircraft that I love most, but maybe someday, in the States, Japan or Singapore, I could feel it, I hope.

geedubelyer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Oh boy! :P You've given us a trio of tasty Vipers to enjoy Jin. This one is equally well finished and looks perfect in its' in-flight pose. I'm very fond of seeing models built as the viewer might see the real thing in everyday life so your addition of the travel pods strikes just the right chord with me. You have a superb eye for totally realistic finishes. What a tremendous build. Thanks for sharing her with us. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
