Well ladies and gentlemen, from the photo booth at the carnival in the mall parking lot, I give you the completed F-16C Viper Heritage Jet of the 149th FW. This was finished a couple of weeks ago. Not 100% happy with it but it's not horrible. When I unmasked the canopy, there was a blemish inside the already glued down canopy.

Mike this should have placed. Screw that F-104 Thanks but there were some mistakes on it that I couldn’t fix before the show. And there were a ton of great builds. One of the jets in the 1/48 single engine jets made “Best Aircraft”.

First off, this is one swell build Mike. I do love me some F-16's and that's some VERY good work on that camoflage!! Sorry to hear about the canopy blues and I know what that feels like. I usually spend between 5-8 months on a build and to have something like that happen at the very end of a build is dang near catastrophic for me to the point to where I'll go out and buy another kit to make it right.
You've done well on this one despite the canopy issues.

Thanks! I learned my lesson though, "DON'T GLUE DOWN THE CANOPY TILL THE VERY END!!!!"

I forgot to tell you guys. The Viper got mentioned on the Plastic Posse Podcast. They were talking about builds that they liked from their Facebook group and someone said my Viper. They even pronounced my last name correctly.

Good on you Mike for the podcast shout out! Joe, when you have a last name like mine, it gets butchered frequently and has for decades. The Army was the worst... You get used to it...
