jake the snake Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Been working on this for a few months and finally finished. This is the Moebius 1/32 viper. I did not modify the nose to the correct E generation shape. I just shortened it and blended in the long ventral wing fin things so they conformed and looked aerodynamic. I also tinted the canopy to an amber shade and added a glare shield. I left it fairly clean, didn't want it too banged up. Think it looks better kinda clean. That's a switch! Thanks for looking 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygunn1972 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I really like this, I've never seen this kit before. I think after seeing this I might have to keep a look out for one. Well done, a good looking build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanised Dwarf Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 302 I'm not a fan of the mark VII, I much prefer the older mark II but this is a very nice looking bird, you have done yourself proud Mr Snake. The grey modulation you have achieved is great, how did you paint it? I also love the mounting you have for this, is it your own design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grey modulation you have achieved is great, how did you paint it? I also love the mounting you have for this, is it your own design? Thanks Dwarf. I used Vallejo paints through an airbrush to pre-shade over a base coat of a light grey/blue. Then layered various shades of light greyish blue over some darker spots to give it that "mottled" effect. I topped it off with adding some highlights on some of the raised areas with the snow from the Tamiya pastel weathering kit. The base is just a universal camera mount on a wood base. I get the mounts from ebay for about 7 dollars. I epoxy a 1/4 threaded insert in the model so it can be removed if needed. Thanks for the comments! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
