I built a bog standard 1/32 Hasegawa F16 with the addition of some resin bits

I believe it's from the artist's imagination. I've got a collection of his work (he was a local man in Fort Worth) and I'll take a look and see if the book says anything.

Absolutely beautiful piece of work, Uncle Les.

it's an interpretation of a '70s Canberra with the Flynn Drive roundybits and Anzac Parade clearly defined.

Post by: Volkodav on November 13, 2016, 09:40:36 AM: Beautiful work Uncles Les, makes it a shame Australia didn't buy the Viper, maybe if they had had someone of your talent produce a model of their proposal back then they could have got up ;)

Your image size is far too large for the forum to accept which is why they would not load in your post.

Post by: ScranJ51 on November 27, 2016, 07:22:23 PM: In the "original"picture - the structures above the canopy and leading to the right are the Department of Defence buildings- Russell Offices - in Canberra!

The tall spire is in Blamey Square!!

Directly below the intake is the National Library.
