Yup... another Viper kit comes out of my stash. The kit:

Going to build it as Venezualean Viper this time. Bought AM decals a few years ago.

Nice project and subject Tom. Venezuela had some good looking SEA style camo on their F-16s

Cool choice Tom - nice scheme for a viper!

Great progress thus far.

Thank you, Stuart. It's ready for paint. Most likely tonight. We have a family obligation most of the day today - my niece has a Jack & Jill Shower.

Painted the undersides Mr. Hobby Camo Grey. The AM decal set listed as Light Grey FS37875. I cross referenced FS37875 and it’s Insignia White. Wut?

Gunze Mr. Hobby Camo Grey looks better than Insignia White. I don’t recall any modern fighter jet still sport an all white underside color. :hmm:

Tomorrow at some point I’ll spray my first light camo color (LifeColor Summer Uniform Linen) before the green camo colors.

Looks more like an off white in the photo that I posted.
