Delayar Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Hi folks! I recently finished my big scale Viper, built from the fabulous Tamiya kit with some aftermarket stuff thrown in. I built it as a F-16CM 91-0389 from the 55th Fighter Squadron during Operation Unified Protector in August 2011, operating from Aviano Airbase. The mixed loadout is chosen according to pictures of the aircraft taken on the 31st of August 2011. The decals are a mix of the Afterburner Decals "Shaw Shooters" and Speed Hunter Graphics "Big Scale Vipers" sheets. Aftermarket stuff used: Black Box Cokpit Aires Exhaust Wheeliant Wheels Shull24 AN/ALE-50 GT Resin Sniper pod and HTS pod Videoaviation GBU-38 Eduard Exterior PE Master Models AOA probes Master Models Static dischargers I also scratchbuilt some parts, like the JHMCS sensor, wheel well details and the BRU-57, which was converted from an Academy BRU-33. Here is a link to the WIP: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=60894&page=3 More pictures will follow...

Daywalker Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Beautifully done, like the all of the extras you added to make this a current aircraft. I built 91-382 for the 55th a few years ago, sure would look good seeing them parked side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayar Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Terrific Viper, Markus! May I publish it on the website? Kev I would be honored. But let me make another photo session, hopefully I will get better pictures. Beautifully done, like the all of the extras you added to make this a current aircraft. I built 91-382 for the 55th a few years ago, sure would look good seeing them parked side by side. I remember your build. It was absolutely fabulous, and it was an inspiration for my own build.
