Warbird Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Frank, Your F-16 is amazing. Neat build, present but restrained wheathering. Good job. I especially like the picture which shows a close-up of the pilot through the canopy. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the picture which shows a close-up of the pilot through the canopy. Cheers Thank you very much! I was fortunate enough to have actual photos of this bird to show the weathering on her, and that is why the lighter panel below the cockpit on the left side is painted as it is. Thanks again!

Michael931080 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Really like the shots of both your Vipers together. The "Cali" bird is nicely weathered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Frank! Wow- she is beautiful in every respect. It looks real my friend-and you cant do any better than that. Would you consider letting me use it for the Scale Viper Volume II? It would be a perfect, stunning addition- Cheers Pete Daywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is good to see them together. Now, how cool would it look with THREE together? Hi Frank! Wow- she is beautiful in every respect. It looks real my friend-and you cant do any better than that.

I would consider it an honor to see her in the Scale Viper II, by all means YES!!! PM inbound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmel Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Fanatastic Viper, Frank. I think it really looks outstanding. I really like the contrast of the differently colored panels and 'just right' weathering. The only thing I would recommend is to take a closer look at pics of the real jet where the speedbrakes hinge. Tamiya has oversimplified them, and it may add a nice touch to this beauty to correct them. Would you consider letting me use it for the Scale Viper Volume II?

Uncarina Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Absolutely amazing! Your pilot perfectly complements a fantastic build, and it can be tough doing this. Great work! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, I may need to purchase another copy of the Modern F-16 Guide, I think mine is about worn out. Pages are beginnig to fall out from all of the constant flipping! Great idea on the speedbrakes, when I read your thoughts I went through that book and completely agree- they could definitely use some TLC. Already found a few other areas like the fuel tanks and missile fins. GEEZ! Time to build another one! PM inbound! Absolutely amazing! Your pilot perfectly complements a fantastic build, and it can be tough doing this. Great work! Cheers, Tom Thank you Tom, that means a lot to me! I am by no means a figure painter, but this one turned out pretty well. Thanks again for looking in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's nice sometimes just to stroll through the hallowed halls of LSP and then come across a fine build like this one Frank. Now admittedly I know very little about jets but I do know an awesome build when I see one and your Viper falls solidly in that category in my opinion. As others have already stated, with the right background in outdoor shots, you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't the real deal. Fantastic, Frank!

I am humbled by all of your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
