miketippingmodels Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi Guys let me introduce you to the Tamiya F-16 CJ, the kit was dream to build no issues what so ever, this was also my first Time using MRP paints, and I have to say they are a dream to use, just brilliant. the kit has the Aires cockpit and undercarriage, and I used a reed oak fire along with a PG productions figure, the decals are from fox 1 vipers on guard. enjoy Mike Model_Monkey, aircare84, A-10LOADER and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAWS Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Amazingly beautiful detailed Viper! The weathering/fading of the paint is stellar. The flightline diorama is awesome. The right drop tank is a perfect example: the lighter colored nose on the darker tank (I've built many like that in my AF career). The ejection seat looks you you shrunk down the 1:1 asset. The GE nozzle is stunning! Images saved for my reference stash. You've impressed a guy whose worked this particular airframe since the early 90s. I don't want to be a critic but I noticed two discrepancies: -the scoop just aft and below the canopy on the right side is facing the wrong direction -Tulsa Vipers are Block 42, Pratt & Whitney -229B powered; too bad Tamiya never re-released the Thunderbird variant so we can build accurate versions.
