F-16C USAFE Big Mouth Vipers

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 three USAFE aircraft to choose from. The first is the USAFE CC's personal ride, assigned to Aviano AB in Italy. The second is also an Aviano bird assigned to the 31st Ops Group CC. The third aircraft is from Spangdahlem AB, Germany assigned to the 52nd Ops Group CC.

The three aircraft in this set are:

• F-16CJ Block 50, 89-2049, 31 FW, USAFE Commander's aircraft, summer 2004
• F-16CJ Block 50, 89-2137, 31 FW, 31st Operations Group Commander's aircraft, summer 2004
• F-16CJ Block 50, 91-0416, 52 FW, 52nd Operations Group Commander's aircraft, summer 2004

Maintenance stencils are provided for one example on a separate sheet not shown here.

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!
