Featuring 104 pages of tips and techniques to help any model builder perfect his F-16 replica, this book was written by a former F-16 pilot to help other modelers learn the intracacies of the Viper in model form. 

The author is known the world over for his talents when it comes to model building, and now his tricks are in book form! Included is a section on painting/weathering, understanding reference material as it pertains to the F-16 ("Viper FAQ"), an F-16 "kit round-up" of available kits, and models built by other modelers in all three common scales to show what can be done with any kit in the right hands.

You can purchase this and other aviation publications directly from Reid Air Publications.  They have an ever growing selection of books that each focuses on a  different modern jet with  a large selection of photos geared towards modelers with a passion for getting all the detail right.

I would like to thank Reid Air Publications for providing me with this review sample.
