Oh boy oh boy it arrived. And what a friendly seller 👌 Kinda a shame that they gave up this hobby. Sold everything for an apple and an egg. It’s a #ViperPit #SimPit loosely based on a F-16. Nothing of this is functional though. Yet.
Winter may come!
Man… the _feel_ of those lovely switches and dials alone ❤️
@bekopharm@indieweb.social Ich glaube, dass ist mit Abstand das krasseste, was ich in den letzten Tagen so an Nerdstuff gesehen habe… Wow. Respekt!!
@nocci Nimm meine verdammte Herzchen ❤️ 💜 🧡
@bekopharm /Nixie wants to know your location. Please, ignore the thieving tool sounds and “free candy” van outside your house in the near future/
@bekopharm so when you say it’s a Viper pit, are you referring to Battlestar Galactica or the company named Viper that sells these pits?
@TheMNWolf sadly not, no 😀 In that case it’s the nickname for the F-16 “Fighting Falcon”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon
This pit is loosely based on it.

@bekopharm Okay, so it is a Viper brand pit LOL. Can never be too sure, a lot of stuff gets repurposed for TV shows. The thrustmaster warthog shows up in a surprising number of things from the 2000s
@TheMNWolf It’s a fair question 🙂 My profile background features a BSG Viper silhouette.
@beko holy shit, that guy’s heart must have been bleeding …
Looks awesome, enjoy putting it all together!
And out of curiosity: what is the average price range for a setup like this?
@bekopharm @beko Money well spent, enjoy putting it back together! 🙂
