Thanks guys!
Brandon, I think that the Academy kit that you built is a clone of the original Hasegawa kit.

Thanks Stuart! I’m hoping to get this one wrapped up next week after the holiday weekend here.

Bravo, Carlos! That’s come together quite well—in particular the afterburner end which looks quite good!!

Thanks Bruce! I tried a new technique on the afterburner and am quite happy with the results. I’m going to be experimenting with it more on future projects.

Yesterday was lots of fine tuning (wash in the wheel wells, add the pitot tube, sand then touch up paint), plus some other detail painting, then the final flat coat.
Tomorrow I should be able to do do final assembly and get it all wrapped up.

Chris and Mike, thank you!
Well, I finally got this beast all wrapped up now just a short while ago. It’s definitely nowhere near contest quality, but will join the rest of my shelf sitters nicely enough
I’ll get a proper multi angle batch of photos up tomorrow or Monday.

Great job. And not your run of the mill viper. Very cool.
