Fighting Eighty-Four Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 That is... well... pretty much perfect! I would say that is quite the display case debut. Well done sir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Great job no your Falcon! I need to do one of the tamiya kits. They look like the ticket. By the way no critiquing in this forum that would be in the Critique Corner Geoff M Edited September 29, 2015 by Geoff Murphy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The Viper looks great! I especially like the markings you selected. I just finished building this kit as a Spangdalhem bird and hope to have the pics up soon. The Tamiya kit is certainly a gem! Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sharp, very sharp! Are the HARMs from the kit? They look superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJ Blazkowicz Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sharp, very sharp! Are the HARMs from the kit? They look superb. :thumbsup:/> Yes, they are. Only the pilot tube and AoA probes are aftermarket items (Master). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt1255 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 To me it is perfect. No critique is needed. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Very nice job! Love the variations in the weathering, an area I still struggle with. Your effort on the Tamiya kit had a far better outcome than I achieved on my Kinetic build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jinmmydel Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 This is really great. I think you nailed the painting and weathering work. It looks very true to the real thing. Generally, if you're looking for critique there is a separate completion forum for that, but since you did ask...I think the inside of the exhaust could have used some more attention.

Wizard_rkt Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 After market exhaust would certainly help for detail in the caboose area......but who cares, right? It is fantastic! I especially like the way the panel lines are not overly stated. They look scale and very realistic......hard to get that these days. I am going to give this one an A+ instead of an A as I originally had planned, because the kit does not come with a greatly detailed burner and OOB it is a superb display of skills. I am anxious to see more of his work on ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VMFA314Knights Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Paint job is superb! Nailed the weathering, not overdoing it but leaving it with a used look. :thumbsup:/> David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy Snap Captain Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Amazing effort mate. Looks spot on. Love the weathering especially the random panel weathering. Brilliant stuff. Take a bow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BJ Blazkowicz Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 All Thank you very much for kind words, feels great to know that all these hours paid off :). As for the exhaust I totally agree, there is a room for improvement here and I will probably try to do something about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew83128 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Great build. I worked on 895 at Misawa. She was a 13th jet we took to PSAB in 03 with the 14th. She was on of the aircraft in the box the first night of the invasion of Iraq. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

31Tiger Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I agree with the comments that the weathering is bang on, just enough to make it realistic and not overdone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
