Looks like a photo from that well-known aviation photo site! That one's going to the paint shop as soon as the C.O. sees it! We like our Vipers clean and fancy here in Texas, as you can see! Photo is of the C.O.'s Viper of our ANG squadron here in San Antonio. IIRC Caracal Models did decals for this one.

bedford Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Fantastic job, the scale modeling like I really love ! Looks so real. It's there any wip, even in spanish, as I'm really interested to know how you did some of the weathering. Thank you 1

Thank you Hi bedford, thank you for your words mate, dont have much pictures of the process and not much worth it, well I'm not a "metodic" builder, I improvise most of the time and paid for the mistakes also lol, for weathering I use classic techniques like postshading and oil washes, brown/yellow/ black mixes, no fancy products, I cheer you up to weather your models if you haven't try, get them dirty lol cheers Edited February 25, 2018 by antonio argudo
