Thank you for the detailed photos, I was holding off on this kit but now I think I must get myself one, or two, or three... I thank you, but my wallet doesn't LOL.

Thank you Pete, great information! I love that Viper, in fact a HAF jet is one I want to do soon!

Thank you, really like that black F-16 scheme - and I appreciate you chiming in!

I saw some decals that interested me from their range, first time I've ever heard of them honestly. Procal decals I am wondering if anyone has had any experience using them?

VERY impressive conversion! I would love to hear what parts from the Trumpeter kit were used, and how difficult of a conversion was it to do?

You got it! Haven't been out there yet, but I have been out to East Troy.

You got it!

Oh man, now THAT is an offer I do not think I could refuse! I would love the opportunity to fly with you, let's make that happen! I flew down to KRFD for my night XC, it was only about 55nm from here.

Yep, I just learned how to make a small fortune in aviation... Wait for it... Start with a LARGE fortune LOL.

Have you been digging through my stash?

Counting the check ride flights, it took me 70.2 hours. I soloed with 9.7 hours in my logbook last July, and with my busy work schedule and my flight instructor working mostly weekends it took some time but I was absolutely fine with that! I have mostly been flying Cessna 172 N models, with a few training flights in a 152. I did like the sportier 152, but must admit I like having more than one radio and the vertical seat adjustment on the 172. Thank you so much everyone for dropping by and leaving a comment, I am still in a state of disbelief that I actually did it. I have gone into my logbook numerous times to look at my Temporary Airman's Certificate to make sure it was not all just a dream.

I remember a topic a while back discussing pilot's certificates, and someone told me to be sure to shout out when I earned my certificate. I earned it this past Thursday, and honestly I can't remember being so excited since my first solo last year. It's been a long road, but I have never before felt such a sense of accomplishment. It's been my dream to be a pilot since I was 5 years old, and now at 52 I can finally say when people ask me if I am a pilot: YES, I AM. Thanks! Frank

I don't think there's anyone here that knows more about the Viper than this guy!

Same here, I went through the first few thinking I was looking at the real thing. Bravo, beautiful work here!

All very good points, some I had not considered. Thank you for bringing those up!

+1 Flew in for the first time last year, what an experience! I knew it would be intense but I was still shocked by all of that metal in the sky. The seemingly archaic system they use to get everyone lined up and down safely is amazingly efficient.

Very impressive work, and I agree that your burn effects are amazing. Well done!

Gorgeous build, one of the best examples of the "Burma Banshees" nose art IMHO. Bravo on an amazing addition to your collection!

May make that one as it's only 11 miles from me!

Excellent, I'm definitely in for one of these.

Very interested in this one, if the 1/32 kit comes to fruition I will certainly buy one!

Sounds like something out of a Cheech & Chong movie LOL. Seriously amazing work here P, this is the stuff I could only dream to do.
