Hello, These were built and given to the guys with the 100th FS. All three are Tamiya kits. Painted with Mr. Color paints, Decals from Afterburner decals.

346 Has a Shull24 resin nozzle and a Wolfpack AN/AAQ-28 Litening pod.





222 and 336 were built for a buddy of mine who crews both of these A/C.
336 Has a closed GE. burner can from a Hasegawa F-14D kit. I apoligize for the quality of the photos! Any questions you guys may have, Please let me know!







Thanks for taking the time to look at my builds!

Mike.

Here is my first attempt at building the 1/48 Tamiya Viper..."I learned alot from building this one!" Like putting all three drop tanks on the jet...Pretty sure thats way too much drag on the airframe Very Happy This one was still a work in progress at the time the photos were taken, You'll notice that there are parts missing here and there, Once it was finished, It was also given to the squadron.

Nice build. This scheme really lights up the F-16. It's my favorite bird.Thanks for bringing them up, Tamiya's is an almost perfect kit.Tamiya got it right on the configuration then. I'll stick with that.It also saves me from having to assemble bunch of extra stuff.Thanks for sharing.

Regards
