It's looking really good Lyle!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks, Clint!

Calling this one 終了, Завършен, Klaar, Valmis, Fertig, Τελειώσει, go gcríoch, Färdiga, Terminado!
Nice, easy kit with only a few "gotchas" - the biggest is the very tiny butt join of the pitot tube to the front of the nose. Yes, I waited until almost the end of the build and then it was broken off/reglued 4-5 times, replaces with stretched sprue twice, and right after I took pics, broken again. I don't know how to avoid that.

Hey now, that's a Viper! I hear you on the pitot nose. Those damn things always the last to go on. They often break so easy, I've switched to getting metal ones instead.

Re: AMT F-16A 1/48
well, the rest of the story....like I said, I knocked it off right after the pictures...re-attached it and when putting it on the shelf, ran the nose slap into the front of the shelf.BlackSheep214 wrote:Hey now, that's a Viper!

I may reattach it later, sometime.To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I agree. This is a good looking jet. Lethal and lovely - like most women.

Well done, Lyle, looks great. Music wire is my cure for those frustrating bits that stick out.
