A Viper Touches Down

[Cookenbacher]

I built this 1/72 Tamiya F-16C for the current Single Type Group Build, the build thread can be found here:

I attempted a dirty Have Glass II scheme based on this REFERENCE PICTURE, and attached some clear sprue to the underside hoping to replicate the landing attitude in the pic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to @trickyrich for hosting the Group Build, and to @Tim Moff for letting me copy his idea!

Nice Viper. great idea to use clear sprue to hold the nose up  pose.

I said it in your build thread, this looks like 1/48 at least - very realistic, well executed and in an enticing pose!

Beautiful F-16 Cookie! You have captured that "not at all pristine" look so well. I love it.
