kg4kpg Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Finished up their 1/72 kit. Wasn’t too complicated. I sure miss Model Master paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowTRobot Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Looks great! What paint did you use, and where did you get the model? I want to build one for my son in the Marines, but I can’t find them anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kg4kpg Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks. Paint is Vallejo. Dave Roof has one for sale down in the Buy and Sell forum below. He also has the AH-1Z kit I was thinking of getting from him. Edited September 8, 2022 by kg4kpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowTRobot Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I have the Dream Model Viper, but I haven't built it yet. It looks pretty good in the box. I normally don't build models of modern stuff or helicopters, but my son works on these birds at Camp Pendleton, and I'd like to build the pair of them for him.

Thanks Mr.Happy. Only thing that sucked was that you can build an almost complete Viper with the Venom kit. Well, I guess you could build the Viper and then have an incomplete Venom. Looks like you just need canopy and rotor parts. I emailed Dream Models but they won’t sell sprues separately. I built the Viper. If anyone asks why it isn’t finished, I’ll just say it’s in the shop. 😂 Edited September 8, 2022 by kg4kpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
