         A friend of mine approached me about building this for him. This was a very nice kit. It was painted with Tamiya paints.  I finished off the paint job by polishing it with Novus polishing compound. If you have a chance to get one. I’d highly recommend it!!!

Nicely done. Striking aircraft (non pun...) and a great display! I know Mike (Medicman) will love this one!

Wow fantastic build,awesome markings.

Yes you are definitely right.
I'm working on the Kinetic F-16 AMLU Nato Viper,they do go together nicely.

I saw these kits at the Nats and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalmost pulled the trigger on one. After seeing this one here, I regret my decision in not buying it. One sharp aircraft build buddy is all I can say. Just utiful work.

Now......I've gotta find one of these.......

Excellent build and display! The more I hear about and see Kinetic kits I think I need one in my life

Beautiful! Love the base with actual shoulder patched on the sides!

Thanks guys for the comments. The paint scheme that you see was the idea of Lt Col. Jeremy Boyd. There was a contest within the squadron for individuals to come up with a paint scheme that would best represent the 457th Fighter Squadron. Lt Col. Boyd’s design won. He is currently a pilot for UPS based out of Louisville Kentucky.

Awesome. Why is it that planes that are meant to be hard to see look SOOO good with fancy bright colors. Well done!!!

Wow. That tail is hot! Fab work on that base. Really sets the whole build off.
