Whiskey Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Very very nice Andrew! I have those same pictures saved for OIR references and your work seems to have nailed it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thank you! Although I'm discovering my camera (used here) actually takes worse photos than my phone....maybe I need to switch.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just redid the photos of the model; seems my phone takes better photos than my actual camera. Go figure. Especially wanted to show of the afterburner.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're using your phone, download the Adobe Photoshop app to edit photos. For computers, Adobe Lightroom (has a small cost). You can correct the color through those. Nice work on matching the wear and tear on that Viper, I dig it! The burner can, definitely turned out nice....you did some seriously smooth painting.

Matthew83128 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Looks like a real viper not one just off the factory floor. Great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Wow that's cool! Well worn...repainted dirty bird! I'm sure there is a good story about all the different color shades. Nailed it from the pictures of the actual airplane. Put it in a contest with the pictures to watch the judges heads explode! Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Awfully kind of y'all to say, thank you so much! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Draggie748 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Nice job Andrew, now I don't know whether I'll do mine as that bird or another one with those decals. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaconRaygun Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Awesome build! I especially like the scheme you chose because I see these birds all the time. I frequent VT throughout the year (especially during ski season) and I absolutely love it when the green mountain boys run low along the long trail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
