Hi Frederick,
I've been following you quietly.. both here and at the Modelbrouwers site. Funny thing is, I'm in the exact same position you are. I am also scratchbuilding viper pits for both a academy 1/32 viper and one for Tamiya's. One for an A-model (Academy also) and one for an MLU. I'm truly happy I we have an F-16 right here at work so I can check anytime for reference! You'll soon see the pictures at the ARC site.
But you are doing a great job! Keep it coming!
Succes,
Michiel
