White primer sprayed on. Pics forthcoming...

Hasegawa 1/72 weapons set V has ACMI pods. I got the equivalent set in 1/48.

Both of those are coming along nicely Tom!

Paint is on Viper #1...

Dark Ghost Grey for the nose. (Looks lighter due to flash)




Light Ghost Grey for overall body




Awaiting for paint to dry so I can use same foam block for Viper #2...

Viper #2 painted!!

Very nice Tom!

Thank you, Stuart.
To be honest, at my age I’m not crazy about building 1/72 scale aircrafts just as I did in my teens and early 20s. So far, they’re both coming along surprisingly nice considering. Worked on the exhaust nozzles. Definitely a lack of details on the nozzle interior walls for both Viper kits. Ah well, you’re not gonna notice it anyway. After looking at various exhaust nozzle fan faces, I opted to use Aluminum Non Buff lacquer and dry brush the details with Dark Andonic Grey Metallic lacquer.

They are both looking good!

Thank you, Clint. I need to order the 1/72 scale weapons set soon. Next up - to finish off the exhaust nozzles. After that, the struts assembly and gear doors go on. Won’t be long til the decals go on.

Sweet looking blackbird! Looking forward to seeing more.
