dmk0210 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Ordered up an Academy F-16 from Hobby Lobby's website for $16 shipped (40% off and $3 shipping discount on the website). Got the Two Bob's Green Mountain Boys (Vermont ANG)sheet on clearance for $3 with some other stuff a couple weeks ago. Not including glue, paint and putty, that's $19 for the whole thing. I'll build it up OOB except the decals, should make a passable Block 25 F-16C and a relaxing build for the holidays. Edited December 10, 2011 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to build it gear up, in flight mode. I'm not a model show competition builder. I just do it for fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just build the thing and it will look fine. Sure the Academy kit may not be accurate in all spots. But if you build it and finish it (and have fun in the process) it will look like a Viper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Nice score dmk! The Academy kit is a fun kit to build, and looks great when finished. You got a great deal! Yes, I'm refering to the 1/48 kit. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
