BlackSheep214's F-16 Fighting Falcon Pair

All things jet, no props and Stik...no armor even though the M1 is turbin powered.

Hasegawa 1/72 weapons set V has ACMI pods. I got the equivalent set in 1/48.

Paint is on Viper #1...

Dark Ghost Grey for the nose. (Looks lighter due to flash)

Light Ghost Grey for overall body

Awaiting for paint to dry so I can use same foam block for Viper #2...

Thank you, Stuart.
To be honest, at my age I’m not crazy about building 1/72 scale aircrafts just as I did in my teens and early 20s. So far, they’re both coming along surprisingly nice considering. Worked on the exhaust nozzles. Definitely a lack of details on the nozzle interior walls for both Viper kits. Ah well, you’re not gonna notice it anyway. After looking at various exhaust nozzle fan faces, I opted to use Aluminum Non Buff lacquer and dry brush the details with Dark Andonic Grey Metallic lacquer.

They are both looking good!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thank you, Clint. I need to order the 1/72 scale weapons set soon. Next up - to finish off the exhaust nozzles. After that, the struts assembly and gear doors go on. Won’t be long til the decals go on.
