I'll spare the history as much has already been said about the Viper 
already.  Looking for a kit upon finishing Airborne school down at Fort 
Benning (I could not do much else as my body was beaten down from that 
school), I found this kit 1/3 off at Hobby Lobby.  I had yet to attack a 
1/32 scale kit yet, and was looking for a long project.  I purchased some 
aftermarket parts, using the Eduard cockpit set, a Verlinden seat and extra 
pilot figure.  The work then began.

Up to this point I was still only using simple airbrush and weathering 
techniques.  I decided to try some new things which turned out to open many 
new doors.  I pre-shaded the panel lines with black, base painted, then 
post-shaded between the panel lines, achieving a great effect in my opinion. 
The kit was pretty straight forward sans peicing the fuselage together, 
which took some finess.  On and off for about 3 months, I finally finished 
mostly satisfied with the way it turned out.  I am not much of a 
photographer, but I did my best to capture most of the detail.

I hope you all enjoy the pics.  Special thanks to the many ARC's tips and 
tricks, as well as the many inspiring kits that came before mine.  Please 
e-mail me if you have any comments or advice, and as for accuracy... I 
usually use markings I like, so the decals are not 100% accurate!  FLY ARMY, 
ARMY STRONG!
