All things jet, no props and Stik...no armor even though the M1 is turbin powered.

I may want to get a couple of those stiffener sets myself. Where did you get them from?

I got them at Sprue Bros, but they seem to be out of stock.

Yeah, I saw that. :bored: So far of all the Vipers I have in my stash, only the Cripes A’Mighty F-16 I’ll need to get the set for. Now to buy the same Tamiya Adversary Viper kit you have. :lashed:

Working on sub-assemblies that I don't have to paint right now. Adding PE to the cockpit and seat.

You press it down so that it's firmly attached and then pull the clear top cover off and there you go!

Now THAT'S bad ass right there! NICE!

Thanks guys! I really like the reinforcement plates. The true test will be when I add them to the nose.
