NSAWC Vipers

Today I Finally got back to my F-16 stash, to join in on the ARC Viper II group build. I'm building 2 Hasegawa F-16A's using Two Bobs decals, for one gray-camo Viper and one blue-camo Viper.

One note: I've seen several variations listed for the Navy's 3-tone gray scheme: 36320/36231/36081 (FSM) or 36375/36270/36118 (TB). I believe that the correct scheme is: 36375/36231/36081

EDIT: 5/7/09 - The Blue Viper is almost done, just when I thought I couldn't have any more problems on this build I got to the decaling stage. It seems that the Two Bobs decals are printed in the wrong color. The gray is way too light and should be 36320. When its applied to the camo, it stands out like a light. For this reason, I recommend the Fightertown or Hasegawa sheets of the same subject.
