Bryn Crandell Coming along nicely. Those decal spots are a pain sometimes. Glad to see you were able to make them disappear. I've done the smae as you to get rid of them.

Ronny Verlaek Hey Bryn, Spanjaard , Yes yes , its now a verry slow process to finish this bird, i'm verry happy that i solved this problem with the residue from this decal solution. The ENGINE is now on the desk and its 60% done. Ready for the next varnish layer and some further wheathering.

R K nice work, Ronny! follow

Ronny Verlaek Only a few things i guess 30 minutes work TO DO ... ... And this VIPER is ready , me friend will take the pictures when she is ready ....

Ronny Verlaek Project 4 , The TAMIYA F16 FIGHTING FALCON , in this beautifull hobby is finished. Its me first 1/32 scale project. Me friend and I made some photo's , I hope you can enjoy it.

Jos Jansen Absolutely a stunning result .... man what an inspiring build...

Konrad Limmer Indeed Jos! Really stunning mate!

Donald Dickson II Excellent!

Ronny Verlaek OK , i received this box as a christmas present. The F16 is still on the bench, its only airbush work that i have to do. This means its time to make a start at this plane/kit. Its me 4 project in this hobby. Yes yes , this is all still new for me, I don't know the trumpeter kits but i make the first part and its a lot off putty that i had to use to bring it to a good end. I believe Tamiya is better .. I will make the version thats on the box, and i build this plane OOB, no extra's. Fingers crossed and i hope this wil be a nice build.

Ekki Watching.

Ronny Verlaek The F16 is ready , now i can go further with this plane , alot off weapons to prepare , sanding , putty , sanding etc etc ..

Patrick Hagelstein I followed your F-16 from a distance. Very well done and hard to believe this Growler is only your fourth project in this hobby. I will watch this with great interest! Let's see if you can pull it off in the same quality as that F-16! One question though; what are you intending to to with all those weapons? The Growler's 'weapons' are its jamming pods.

Ronny Verlaek Hey Patrick , yes this GROWLER is me 3 scale plane in this hobby .. I build 1 tank and 1 heli and 1 1/48 F16 but that was not a great succes, i quit with this hobby and then i buy al new stuff to start again with the 1/32 F16, this week i will make the final foto's from this F16, me friend will make those foto's. This GROWLER is me 5 project The weapons are not specially for this Growler , i bought this KIT to put some weapons on a diorama, i don't know if i can use some weapons from this trumpeter weapons kit. Can i use some weapons from this weapon KIT for this GROWLER KIT ? or can I ? When not , i have to start another project for this weapon KIT, this KIT was a great test for me , working with putty , learning engrave lines etc etc . I'm NEW , i'm sorry ..

Patrick Hagelstein Don't be sorry! You're doing great! That F-16 is awesome and I hope your friend brings out all the best with that photo shoot. The Growler's main task is disrupting communications and jamming radar systems before the actual bomb carrying airplanes go in for the attack. For that reason, the offensive armament is limited to HARM and AMRAAM missiles. Even the Super Hornet's original gun is deleted in favor of the jamming equipment. I think, going at your rate and seeing your building quality, we will see those weapons pop up on other builds! Enjoy this marvelous hobby and good luck with the learning curve on this beast!

Ronny Verlaek Thx Patrick for your support , the weapons i will build in a seperate project .... i will used them for another plane in the future...

Patrick Hagelstein

Ronny Verlaek OK, New Viper is on the desk, I build this one for me son, i'm started with the sprue's, labeld them all and now i cleaned some parts and there are already glued some parts, used some putty etc etc , ... I will make alle the parts that i can make from this KIT , airbrushing is for later ... You will see also a picture from Tamiya's new TOMCAT 1/48 scale , this is the next project i will make.

Ronny Verlaek And some parts are in the MRP primer , Its a lot off work , also to find the correct colors in the MRP range. I spend a lot off time to find a good mix off colors.

Maciej Bellos Beautiful Viper! I like the faded panels and the heat stressing on the engine exhaust. Well done mate! How did you fade the panels?

Germen V very nice, love the turbine detail

Ronny Verlaek @Maciej : i looked to the build that PLASMO posted , F-16C Fighting Falcon Tamiya 1:72 - jet aircraft model. There can't you see how i did the fading on the panels.

@Germen : Thx ..
