Welcome Sign John and Matt! I look forward to seeing your builds.

Damon: I also think Fujimi made an F-16A with wolfpack decals. I have seen them pop up on Ebay now and then....maybe check there. I think Fujimi is pretty comparable to Hasegawa if not the same in some cases. I will say I usually add a resin ejection seat to either brand!

John can you still get the kit for the F-16 8th TFW or is it out of production?  I had A good friend who loaded ordinance on F-16s in Kunsan Korea in the late 80's . Would love to build one. I f you know of any decal sets for those planes that would help also. I would love to be able to give him one but he never made it home. He was killed in the Philipines by terrorists. Sorry that might be a little heavy but would like to build one of the planes he worked on.

Hi Travis ;

I Kindly ask if I may join your Viper GB with two Hasegawa 1/72 scale F-16A 8th TFW "Wolf Pack" Kunsan , Korea and a F-16B 8th TFW  "Wolf pack" Fighting Falcons

Is it okay to have cross-over builds as these two are part of my Korean War GB stash [modern era]

Kind regards ,

                              John .

Viper Group Build 2010-2011

Here is the official thread for the Viper GB I floated here a few months back.

The official start date will be October 1st, 2010 and will run until October 1st"ish" 2011.

ALL scales are welcomed. ALL variants are good to go! I would like to see some of the Vipers used by different countries with all the great paint schemes, but not necessary. There are some great kits out there with all the added upgrades. Aftermarket is welcome, but not necessary.

This is my first time hosting a GB.....so I do ask for your understanding if I am slow in getting back to you.

Hope to see some good kits added to the list and I look forward to great builds!

Here is the tally so far:

(Me): Hasegawa 1/72 F-16A (netz markins), F-16N "Top Gun" (Has) 1/72, F-16I Sufa 1/72 (Has) maybe!

Chewybr: Tamiya 1/32 F-16 Block 50

Spike190: Tamiya 1/48 F-16 CJ

Nomad: Hasegawa 1/72 F-16A

Daywalker: Tamiya 1/32 F-16 Block 25 (almost complete), 1/48 F-16 Block 30 (Tam)

Medicman71: Hasegawa 1/48 F-16 CJ Block 40

Macattack80: Tamiya 1/48 F-16 C/N

Nomad68: 1/12 F-16 Cockpit

Konigwolf: Dragon F-16 "Tigermeet" 1/144

Simpilot34: Academy F-16C "Arkansas ANG" 1/48

CallSignOWL-Academy F-16C 1/48 W/ SD ANG "Lobos" markings

hutchhd- Kinetec  "Sufa" 1/48

Bigsmitty- Academy F-16C Arkansas ANG markings

Goodness180- Kinetec F-16E (block 60) 1/48

Thunderbolt379: Hasegawa F-16C Block 50 1/72

ColGray: Tamiya 1/48 F-16 "Alaskan Agressor

Looks like we have all but 1/144 represented. Also let me add, if any one has one or is up for it, I will accept the Mitsu F-2A since the airframe is pretty much the same (also I would love to see one built!Stick out tongue).

Crossovers are welcome, and half built kits are ok. WIP are best. I just thought it was a good time to share my love for this plane, not to mention I have several in the stash calling my name!

Here is the build Badge. I hope it suits everyones needs. I went through a lot of different inmages. This one seemed to be the best fit!
