Good job!

 

Restrained weathering and a good save on the finishing.

Thanks, Alan :) I really need to come back and do the very last touches, but I've been distracted with other things and so I have been at the (now packed up) bench in months.  I really should just commit and afternoon and finish it off and do it the justice it needs.  The Tamiya kits and Two Bobs decals are superb.

Great work. I will take benefit of your experience from your post during my splintered Viper build.

Good luck. It's a very fun scheme to do.  If you get the masks you'll save time, otherwise it isn't difficult to mask, just time consuming.  Use a new blade for each line and you can cut the masking tape on the model with little risk of affecting primer etc.

I am too lazy to do masking using tape and x-acto... 🙂

 

Usually I do my own 3 view drawings with selected camo scheme and create vinyl masks using cutter/plotter. It can be resized to any scale and repeatable as I have Vipers in scales 1:144 to 1:18!... (Yes 1:18)

Oh wow!  Might I have your permission to use that image if I build another please?

Yes of course!

Let me finish instruction sheets for masking order. I will place them in my web site from where I share all pictures here in this forum.
