Very nice!

Great looking models Alex. Naval aircraft are my favourites.

Great Tomcat! Nice to see a VF-33 bird.

Very nice! Terrific deal in small scale.

Great job and a nice souvenir John! I've made many trips to Virginia Beach and Oceana NAS, and miss those Tomcats. Here's one of my Oceana pic's of the 'Bones' 101 in your paint scheme.

I carved the hull from a 4X4 cedar fence post. The superstructure is paper card stock, and the the fittings, guns, boxes, etc. are made from wood, plastic, copper wire and cardboard scrap.

Very nice!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. This is a fantastic site. Lots of great models to review and modelling tips & tricks for a rookie like me.

Beautiful! :)

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I don't build many models, but I've just completed a USN VF-74 Adversary Tomcat (my first model in 3 years) that I'd like to share with you. I've wanted to build a VF-74 Bedeviller Adversary Tomcat for a number of years, and finally decided to do it this year. Here's a few pic's. I hope you like it. Oh, did I mention it's 1/144 scale Dragon model? :) ... and a little Photoshopping. It was a fun build, requiring a little research as there is not a lot of information on the VF-74 Adversaries. I made the 1/144 decals, as well as modified t
