F-16C Big Mouths Block 50 Part I

There you are, minding your own business when not one, but TWO companies release state of the art, late-model F-16C Fighting Falcons (AKA Viper). The Tamiya Viper is an F-16CJ Block 50. There are no parts present for other options out of the box, but there are hints of other variants to come. Academy's Viper will build either a Pratt or GE-powered F-16CG or F-16CJ, that translates into Blocks 40, 42, 50 and 52. The Tamiya kit comes with some breathtaking engineering. If the Academy kit is anything like their recent F/A-18C, then the fights on!

Whether you build one or the other (or both!), you're going to need some options unless you want your prize Viper to look like everyone else. TwoBobs to the rescue! You just know they weren't going to leave this subject alone!

In this set, we have two 20th Fighter Wing aircraft from Shaw AFB that are Kosovo veterans. The 79 FS commander's aircraft still carries a subdued reminder of an earlier Tiger Meet on the tail.

The two aircraft in this set are:

• F-16CJ Block 50, 91-0379, 79 FS/20 FW, Tiger Tail
• F-16CJ Block 50, 91-0353, 77 FS/20 FW, first MiG-29 kill

NOTE - the profile shows three aircraft, the second and third profile are both 91-0353, but one carries the 77th FS Commander's markings which are not in this decal set.

Maintenance stencils are provided for one example, plus an additional decal not shown is provided for the artwork on the nozzle cover for 379.

If you're going to be adding one or more of these beautiful Tamiya/Academy Vipers to your scale flightline, then you'll definitely want to get this set as well! This set is highly recommended!
