PACAF Viper - 8th OG Heritage jet 88-0468

....After a while, I was getting annoyed by the look of the jet 

Time for a repaint.... First step - Strip it! 

....Eew ^^' 

Who new Mission Models Acrylics peel off like this? I didn't ^^' 

...scrub scrub scrub.... 

Nice and clean. 

was planning to rescribe the Tailbase.... 

New loadout 

...opted for kitbashing (thx Kinetic <3 ) 

Prepped for pri 

After Ak Microfiller, some tamiya flat black 

...Hesitating to continue.... Love me a black Viper! 

Playing around with gloss black, to see if there are texture variations later during painting...
Spoiler, yeah, there is 🙂 

definitely have to try this with the clear coats 

Landinggear revamped 

Decals from Furball arrived a little late, still early enough for the vinyl stiffeners 

 

 

 

After a half a year, finally came around to start completing this bird. Been some ups and downs.
Wrong paint callout for the tailbase, had to wait for replacement decals from Furball, other project, etc etc etc.... Back on track as of yesterday! 

Decals sealed with x22 tamiya 

Paints used from mrp 

 

 

 

Mrp's have glass + have glass sheen ist just awsome. My use of it so much xD 

 

 

Sealed with Tamiya x35 

 

 

Prepping some ordnance for this and the Super bug 

Pretty much done, just some Minor touch-ups neede
