Rick_Q Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hey fellas: I am getting pretty close to complete my Tamiya F-16 1/32, I am not too crazy about the decal selection for the kit. Other than the two bases that the box offers, are there any other units operating the Blk 50 GE? I want to see what my options are? Thank you all rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Diamond Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 You can never go wrong with a Shaw Viper I personally recommend the 55th FS as I've always thought they've had the most attractive tailband at Shaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worked with the 55th during ONW in 2003,cool jets and nice people but typical active AF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Diamond Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) What other subjects am I biased about? I maybe biased on other subject without realizing it. I think I've told you in the past though that I'm a 13th fan like you. My dad was with the 13th when it was under the 432nd TRW at Udorn RTAB during Vietnam. I've been doing well though. Missing Shaw, and wanting to get out of Clemson, that kinda deal. Edited October 25, 2005 by Keith Diamond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
