The Bench Of Doom

Way to go, Mark! Seriously, Mike...quite an honor! Congrats.

Thank you! It was funny cause I had just gotten to work and was listening to the podcast. They mentioned it and I was like "WHAT??" I had to go back and listen to it again. I couldn't believe it cause I've seen some of the builds on the page and I'm no where near as good as some of these guys.

we all sell ourselves short. You are a great model maker.

I forgot to tell you guys. The Viper got mentioned on the Plastic Posse Podcast. They were talking about builds that they liked from their Facebook group and someone said my Viper. They even pronounced my last name correctly.

Great to hear! Congrats on being "mentioned in dispatches", 21st century style. I presume that they were talking about your TX ANG or AFRES F-16 in SEA colors? That one sure is a good looking build!

Yeah that's the one. It's the only build that I've posted there since joining their group page.

They rightfully did so. You're darn good modeler!

[Medicman71]

Thanks but I don't think I'm that good. There are a lot of mistakes of my own doing on that Viper.

Back to the bench!!! Been looking over the wing fold. Seems doable with some work. The whole wing is replaced including the engine exhausts. I do have to do some surgery on the kit. The raised area where the kit exhausts would have been needs to be removed.

Mike, if you have a Dremel and a grinding bit, that should be real easy to remove that engine area on the kit parts for your resin replacements.

[Medicman71]

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Jim uses a nice Union David grinding/sanding tool. I've been wanting to get one. Maybe for Christmas.
