Very nice looking Viper Rexxxx! Like the details like the green HUD and clean build so far. Keep us updated.  |

Thanks, Scorpion! It's definitely moving right along now, and it's a good thing, too. Turns out our Commander is chaning command a little earlier than I expected, so now I'm rushing to finish a second one. Got to be done in less than 2 weeks now! At least I've already learned a lot of the mistakes to avoid!
Here are a couple of update pictures. Nearing completion now!

So, y'all are doing a 1/48 instead? Sorry we couldn't swing 1/32 man.....I have a Tamiya viper that's begging for a set of hounds markings.
Hope Col Bell appreciates the 8,654 e-mails that went into that sheet, LOL! I have to say, that was among the most enjoyable projects I've ever been involved with. Now, getting the dadgummed wing jet out is the next feat!
I'll make a separate thread. Can't wait to see your build done! |

Actually, the Ops side of the house is doing a 1/48. Not sure if the maintenance guys are still planning on the 1/32 or not. I'll have to ask.
I'll make sure I let him know about all the work that's gone into that sheet! I'm sure he'll appreciate all the work (although I'd be willing to bet it was closer to 8524 e-mails). Somehow that just sounds better. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your thread as well!

Well, I managed to finish 776! I actually was able to get the 90% solution by the going-away dinner Thursday night, and was able to at least present it. There were only a couple of cosmetic details to wrap up, and I finished that tonight. I'm posting pictures of that jet in the "Finished Models Showroom". Hopefully I'll finish mine up shortly as well.

WoW..the detail throws me back, a very well done...amazing looking model you got there.
You have lots of time on your hands I think but that is not a bad thing, I can see and read it has taken you lots of time.
It looks great, cockpit, well wheels, exhaust nozzles...all amazing - Salute |

| Heh, don't we wish we had more time! You'll find that moost ardent modelers don't have a lot of time, it's just that we do a lot with the time we do have. |

Unfortunately, I seem to be doing a lot of other stuff with the time that I do have, hence the SLOW build! 
Compare this to my nearly-identical build of 90-0776, which took only 3 weeks (granted, I was scrambling to get it done in the last couple of days!).
Just goes to show, if you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute. |
