My Moebius mark 2 (with lights) build( DONE)

[cylon75]

I got my kit a couple of weeks ago and haven't started it because i wanted to get some more done on my scratch build that i was working on. ,now that i have some time before i get back to it , I'm starting my mark 2 .This is a awesome kit and I'm lighting it to. 1st I ordered the leds and a photoetch kit for detail and lighting effects.So far i have put the light pieces in the engines and worked on the cockpit and got it to the point that i can light it up to see what it will look like. Got more to do on it but I'm well on my way .Here's some progress shots so far.

The prime and paint are done now to let it dry over night and start the detail paint and to decal it.

All of the detail work is now done the piping on both sides in the engine opening was a time consumer. (did it all by hand). Also added the piping above the seat section. Painted the wing tips, The decals are next.

OK - know back to my viper. I decided to paint the stripes on, it went OK but i had a few bleed though spots but i was able to fix them for the most part.

Re: My Moebius mark 2 (with lights) build

I just decaled what i got for decals right now, I have a set of JT-graphics decals due to come in any day and I'm hoping to use them for the phoenix emblems on the wing tips because the ones that come with the kit faded right in to the strips and you couldn't even see it, the same thing with the" beware of blast" decal . After i get those and get them on I'm going to start the weathering.

Re: My Moebius mark 2 (with lights) build

While i wait for my finishing decals to arrive i have decided to work on my base for the viper. Right now i have a viper arm patch shown on the base but I'm changing that to a primus patch as seen on the sides of the nose. The next photos should be of it completed (hopefully)

[Aztek Dummy]

top Notch work!! Mightily impressed!!

I talked to Frank about those decals and told him they needed to be backed with white.
He said they were supposed to be and is going to make sure its corrected for the next printing. I had to do the same thing you did. trim them out of the full stripes
