sting Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Academy 1/32 Viper with TwoBobs decals from Pope AFB. I did this same scheme several years ago using a Hasegawa F-16A+ kit with CE's resin big mouth intake before Academy or Tamyia released their 1/32 Vipers. I also replaced the IP cover which makes Academy's Viper a lot better to look at with the canopy open. I debated about putting the pilot in the bang seat, but Academy's pilot is so well done I thought I'd go ahead. I made the 74th FS patch on the pilot's left shoulder, but it didn't settle down very well. Warning: Picture Heavy!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sting Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Overall, it was a fun build. The shark mouth decals didn't want to cooperate, but I managed to get them on without them looking too bad. Edited May 1, 2012 by sting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderchief105 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Very, very nice. I really enjoy looking at the pics. I would not have noticed anything with the pilots patch if you had not said something but hey Velcro patches look raised anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JesniF-16 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 This is a gorgeous model jet of the Viper variety Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Walt Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Awesome. In some of those pics, if I dent know it was a model, I'd have been convinced that it was the real thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
