f5guy Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, I just finished this one up. It's the Academy 1/32nd scale kit built largely OOB, but with Afterburner decals, Cross Delta stiffer plates, and Reskit GBU-38s, and BRU bomb racks. There's a build thread over at "In Progress" section. I'll see if I can attach a link. The model will be a retirement gift to then Capt. (now Lt. Col.) Langdon "Roto" Root, who was assigned to this jet back in 2007 at Hill AFB, Utah. Thanks for looking, Fred. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/316686-rotos-viper-academy-132-f-16c-421st-fs/ Edited March 20, 2022 by f5guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dotcom Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 That is an excellent build! Like the subtle weathering and finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find that some folks tend to really over do the weathering. I generally try to be rather subtle about it. Regards, Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
