1/72 Viper Mk II WIP

Nice work.
As I own both, I can say that the Sci Hi one is definitely better than the Black Sun version, however whether it's worth the extra cost is up to you.
An elegant solution for the canopy is to use bare metal foil. You will be able to get the hard edge that you wouldn't achieve otherwise - say with masking fluid.
Looking forwards to seeing a bit of weathering on this bird.

Liquid mask or frisket film would be my suggestion.  Either one of those has always worked for me.

Well the viper is now decaled! I damaged a couple of the decals which was all my fault but I was able to mix some tamiya red and hull red to get a close match for the red decals strips and airbrushed some of the markings. I still need to figure out how I will mask the canopy.

TIA

I've not seen the Sci-High kit but I've heard that it's more refined than the Black Sun kit. It's more expensive but i wouldn't know if it's worth the extra cash.

I was considering picking up this one as well as their MKVII.  Any idea on a quality comparison between the two?
