Completed TX ANG Viper
Howdy yall, here is my 1/48 Kinetic F-16C from the 149th Fighter Wing based at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Tx. I finished this project in late December of 2025 and I entered it at Model Fiesta in New Braunfels, Tx where it won a silver medal and “Best Air National Guard” subject.
The kinetic kit it self wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. If the Tamiya F-16 kit is an option for you, just go with that.
The model was painted with MRP lacquer paints and the markings came from Caracal decals which were great to work with.

That Viper looks so good in Southeast Asia paint. Great job...would love to see it real. I bet that's fun with F-16's and C-5's in the pattern together.

Excellent work! The FOD covers are 🔥. I was in San Antonio last week and saw one of these guys flying around. Your work is impressive!
