  Hi there again Steve,

  This time I use my other email.
  Sorry for the very long delay, the first messages that I sent to to messed up, it didn't include the pictures attachment. 

  I have to separate the image attachment into two emails, because if I send it in one email it's gonna be very big (35 images in 22MB Zip File).

  This is the first part of the image. Here I send you the pictures attachment with original message just to make sure everything goes right. Hopefully it'll works this time

  Regards,

  Bryan Lee

  "1/32 Tamiya Viper"

  Hi there all ARC'ers. This is my first submission to ARC & I'd like to share my 1/32 Tamiya Viper. Actually,  I've finished this kit about a year ago, but since I don't have good digital camera at that time, all I have to do is waiting until my Dad borrowed me his digital SLR :) 
  I also created my own thread in In-Progress pics in ARC Forum, although I stopped posting on my thread . If you like, you have a look here:

  Here's the F-16CJ Block 50 based on Misawa unit. This Tamiya Viper kit is very nice, almost all parts fits perfectly. I built it pretty much OOB, with exception on the Port side of horizontal stabilizer hinges, which I replaced the plastic rod with brass rod. Because I accidentally fell the model into table when I was about to hold it to turned the model upside down. The model fell vertically just on the horizontal stab. What a disaster.

  The first step making this model was building the engine. The detail of the engine is very nice, built it without any problem. I coated the engine with Tamiya XF-16 Flat Aluminium, painted the details with various Enamel from Tamiya& Model Master, Painted the exhaust feathers with Model Master Jet Exhaust color. Finally, dry-brushed all the engine surface details with Model Master Metalizer Exhaust color.

  Nothing special on the cockpit, pretty much straight-built with silver dry-brush to give realistic effect. 
  As the kit taking shape, I added a pre-shading of flat black all over the model. I used AeroMaster Acrylic brand for this time. Sprayed FS36118 and FS36375 over the model and the paint fix nicely, although a bit fragile since it was true water-based Acrylic compared to Tamiya. To set up the paint, I coated the model with Future applied with brush.

  Next step I washed the entire model with a mix of Enamel Brown, Black and Red. This wash I applied to give a dirty effect like sand-dirt, since I assume that this aircraft unit was assigned in OIF & got dirty :) After the first wash, I reapplied the Future again, then I applied the decals which a bit disappointing because they tends to wrinkle easily. Then, I applied the second wash with Enamel Flat Black all over the panel lines. Same goes to the weapons, straight built then paint & wash over. Finally, I coated the entire model with Model Master Flat Coat. This Tamiya Viper is finished.

  Thank you all for viewing my gallery submission, I hope you all like it :D
