Those are some cool builds, I really like the dio you did.

Those look great! I've got an Accurate Miniatures P-51A on the bench that I have been grabbing in between other builds, not a terrible kit, just some finesse in some areas.

Thanks for the info on the cargo nets! I'll have to remember that one.

Nice!! I built that same kit and I loved it. I'll have to check out that Value Gear. The one thing that I couldn't get was a backboard for it. It really needs to be on there. All the pics I've seen have at least one backboard on there. Mike, for your cargo nets on top, did you make those yourself? ...

These Tamiya Vipers are just beautiful kits. This was a great and fun build. I've got a couple more in my stash and plan to do another in the Have Glass scheme as well as Thunderbird.

That looks great! But I gotta ask about the blue tarp…. not something I’ve ever come across on a US vehicle before… :hmm: I just wanted something visually different. Going with the "idea" they were out training, someone grabbed a blue tarp from their personal vehicle before heading out an...

Thanks! I live about 45 minutes from the base. I remember going to the base as a kid when they had the 111's and watching them fly over the desert area. I used to work for the Fire Dept in Caldwell before moving onto working for the State. It's a great place to live, born and raised here.

I've been working on this Tamiya F-16C Block 50 kit since the start of the year. My goal for the year is to actually complete more kits, and so far, I've already tied what I was able to complete last year. This kit is somewhat of a fictional build.
