It´s a Viper...but just not any Viper but a Viper that was part part of one of the USAFs attempts to replace the A-10 as the USAF main CAS plattform. It did not turn out well and the A-16 was not to be as it was a way to delicate for a powerful 30mm gatling gun. Nothing tells the story of the CAS Viper and the GAU-13 gun better than this article: https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-f-16-gun-pod-that-tried-to-shoot-down-the-a-10-wart-1597577525 A Viper in wraparound Euro-1 was simply irresistable so armed with a Tamyia F-16C block 25, Aires exhausts, seat and Caracals CAS Vip

Now for something different! Always liked the shark-like properties of the 262, almost looks like it's from a comic book. Nothing fancy was done to this kit, a few interior details but otherwise OOB. As always freehand painted cammo and some weathering. I tried black basing and I wasn't that found of it, I use it for cockpits and bays and such but the air frame I prefer starting off a grey base. Here a few pics Cheers!

Hi again, more old sins nothing says dirty like a Skyraider and the Tamyia A-1 is a fantastic kit OOB, only additions I did was the gunbarrels and scratched that little whip antenna by the cockpit. Of course it's freehand painted with my trusted Lifecolor acrylics and then I just went bananas with the weathering and had a real blast! enjoy the multitude of photos of it Cheers!
