It was part of the BRAC decision. Just like we here in Houston lost our Vipers for UAV's.

STFD637 Macattack80: I got you down for a Tamiya 1/48 F-16C/N. I am doing a 1/72 agressor so it should look good to see the different scales!. Travis [View:/themes/fsm/utility/ :550:0]

Awesome!!! What color scheme were you planning on painting? This way we can get a few different flavors of camo.

Macattack: I am building it straight out of the box. It comes with the barely gray/pale green (?)/grey scheme. I have a Netz decal sheet that will cover the "desert" color scheme.....as well as the Sufa!
I have a whole covey of F-5/T-38 aggressor kits in the stash that I plan on building. Those will sport all the different variant schemes from the AF and Navy agressors.
What were you planing on? I haven't seen the Tamiya kit. Either way it will be nice to have the kit covered in 1/48 and 1/72!

The Tamiya F-16C/N kit comes with decals for multiple camo schemes from Top Gun and Red Flag and the "Arctic Bandit" scheme as well.
Here is a review of what you get in this kit. I am not an F-16 expert. This will explain better than I ever could.

I will paint a scheme that you don't. No big deal to me. You wanna pick it as you are the host of the GB?
I'd like to jump in if i could. Don't know the kit or paintscheme, but it will be colorful (probably foreign) and in 1/72.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Lewbud: Just let me know when you find a kit that looks good to you. I will add you to the list.
Hey all,
Well we are less than 48 hours away from the start of this build. I look forward to seeing all the WIP pics. You are more than welcome to start building as soon as 10/01/10 00:00! (if you are so inclined!).
ALL RIGHT!!!! Lets get this thing started. Good luck to all.
I thought i was on the quick list for this GB? Oh well! I'm still interested, I was wondering when this was going to take off!
Can you put me in for the Academy 1/48 scale F-16 A/C? I havnt figured out which model of the f-16 I'll do yet. I think the only markings included are for the A version....

Now that I'm here, where am I??
CallSignOWL- I must have missed you. Yes you are more than welcome. Just let me know your final choice and I will correct it. Will put you down as F-16A/C?.
STFD637 CallSignOWL- I must have missed you. Yes you are more than welcome. Just let me know your final choice and I will correct it. Will put you down as F-16A/C?. Travis
Sure! I have to figure out which intake and exhaust the kit has to get the correct model first!
Another GB kicking off that, I hope to get started on lol. Looking forward to everybody's pics!!!
considering this is the Viper GB....does anybody know the difference between a, "A" model and "C" model F-16??
Hi Guys
Well, after a tumultuous 2010 including moving jobs, moving interstate and various other excitements, I am ready to start modelling again.
Last year several group builds fell by the wayside, but yesterday I purchased the superb 1/48 Tamiya F16 C/N Adversary, and would love to add it to this group build, I thinking the Arctic scheme, but may go with the temperate one yest - will decide.
Anyway, please count me in !
Simon
CallSignOWL- The differece between the C and A models, as far as we are concerned, is the exhaust pipe, intake (I think), and the for sure the vertical stabilizer. I will post some pics for you as I am building both versions in this GB. It also had some advanced avionics added to it. We now have the Block 30-50 series. Every new version has added some extra weapons abilities etc.

There's a book I picked up at the recomendation of another forum member that is an exellent book. I plan on getting his other books as well.
Here's the link to his books: http://www.reidairpublishing.com/
hey, thanks Medicman. I'm thinking that one is going on the Christmas List!
CallSignOWL hey, thanks Medicman. I'm thinking that one is going on the Christmas List! OWL
Yeah I bet. Lol. The other books are on my Christmas list, that is unless I get them before them.
With my other build winding down, I should be able to start on my Viper soon! It will be a 'C' version, not an 'A'. I ordered decals too, knowing of the reputation Academy Decals have...and I didn't really want to do the only scheme included in the kit. The Decals will be for the South Dakota ANG, "Lobos"
Is this group build still open? I had thought this build would not start until December and I guess I got dropped off the list. A few months back, I put on hold my 1:48 Kinetic Sufa, until I heard when this would start. I am about half done with and started the camo paint. I was in a hurry to lay down the first coats and in my haste discovered I did not pre-shade as I had planned rendoring the paint scheme somewhat flat. I will have to works some magic to bring it to life.

On the Bench: 1:48 HobbyBoss Ta152-C; 1:48 & 1:72 Hasegawa F-104G NATO Bavaria
In queue: 1:48 Academy F-4B & a TBD Eric Hartmann bird
Recently completed: 1:32 Trumpeter P-51B
Hutchhd- Got you on the list. I actually had 2 threads for this. One for the survey to find any interest. The second (this one) is the official build thread. The "Sufa" is looking great! I can't wait to dig into my own 1/72 kit. All the humps and bumps really beef up the Viper!
"owl"- I got the correct version down for you. I don't blame you with forgoing the Academy decals. I had a recent experience with a "Banshee" kit. Was a little suprised at the decals because the kit was so nice!
I haven't got to dig into my builds for this yet. Still finishing up 2 other builds. Hopefully in the next week I will be starting the "Netz." Keep the pictures coming!
P.S. I have posted the GB badge on the first post. If anyone has trouble copying it let me know.
Thanks.....I look forward to the various builds. Who knows, I may even start one of my others, as well, just for fun.
ah shoot, I feel like such a n00b asking this, but I had trouble last time too...How do I get the group badge??
and is it OK for me to grab it right now?
group badge? That makes two of us.
Hutch and Owl- If you left click the link you should be able to save picture. Then just add it through whatever service you use to post. If it doesn't work let me know!
thanks for the help STFD, i got the badge now!
IN other news, me decals arrived!! But I am going to have to change my decals from the South Dakota ANG to another ANG unit from either Ohio or California....I got that decal sheet instead. I could have sworn I clicked on the South Dakota ANG when I ordered, but looking through the order trail it said I ordered this sheet instead. I'm really confused!
Badge worked....painfully simple....
Thanks....
I saw "Vipers" and was wondering how many kits and variant paint schemes from the BSG fighter could be done to make a GB.
D'oh! Forgot about the newer nickname for the F-16.
Are late arrivals okay? I'd need a month or so to make sure I can commit to another GB with an end date next year, but I have some Hasegawa F-16s that came in a few months ago and this would be great motivation to get familiar with the kit before building the Thunderbirds version for my uncle.
Kugai- Yes you are more than welcome. Just let me know what you finally decide.
