1/32 F-16CM 55th FS "Operation Unified Protector 2011" (Tamiya)


Recommended Posts

Hi folks!
 
I recently finished my big scale Viper, built from the fabulous Tamiya kit with some aftermarket stuff thrown in.
 
I built it as a F-16CM 91-0389 from the 55th Fighter Squadron during Operation Unified Protector in August 2011, operating from Aviano Airbase.
The mixed loadout is chosen according to pictures of the aircraft taken on the 31st of August 2011.
 
The decals are a mix of the Afterburner Decals "Shaw Shooters" and Speed Hunter Graphics "Big Scale Vipers" sheets.
 
Aftermarket stuff used:
 
Black Box Cokpit
Aires Exhaust
Wheeliant Wheels
Shull24 AN/ALE-50
GT Resin Sniper pod and HTS pod
Videoaviation GBU-38
Eduard Exterior PE
Master Models AOA probes
Master Models Static dischargers
 
I also scratchbuilt some parts, like the JHMCS sensor, wheel well details and the BRU-57, which was converted from an Academy BRU-33.

That is a work of art 👌insane attention to detail. I don’t know whether to throw all my modelling paraphernalia in the bin or get into the garage and start getting better and better with everything I complete. I figure after one hundred and eleventytwelve thousand kits I’ll be half way there 👍👍👍
