Academy 1/32 F-16
Posted by B_one fixer on Saturday, September 1, 2018 12:13 PM

Just finished this up. Academy 1/32 viper. The only AM item is the HARM targeting pod on the left side of the intake.  Paints used are hataka, MRP, and Gunze. This build is based of a pic a friend sent me from his office in the the boomer pod of a kc-135. This is a early have glass 3 paint scheme on this bird. They got pretty gnarly looking due to the paint being hard to clean.

Outstanding build and paint work Mate.

Question, why was the build so challenging ? Where didyou have the trouble?

Excellent work on this kit! Paint looks amazing, overall build quality is super! One to be proud of, for sure.

As an aside, both my grandfathers worked for Rockwell, and both were on the B-1. So, needless to say I’m a BONE fan!
