    F 14A Tomcat 1/18

    in In-Progress Pics

    Posted

    Hello Guys

    This time I have a good news. Just before Marek passed away we settle that his build should be continued. It was his last wish in this case and we as a Goup TOMCATSKY also decide to take it in our hands and finish this remarkable model for him!

    So, right now we have his model and we are going to arrange a build plan and share the job. Keep fingers crossed for Marekus Cat Snatch Fever!

    I'm affraid I have bad news.

    Marek has passed away few days ago. He was and He will always be a member of TOMCATSKY Group. We all miss Him much and praying for Him and his family.

    I hope He is now out of pain and suffering. And I believe right now He is doing all this things He loved to do. Building a perfect Tomcat model.

    Marek was a very friendly guy with tons of positive energy. He was an actor in Helsinki theatre. He was 59yo. Goodbye friend...

    Hi Gyus

    This thread is right place to share with You a sample of triple Tomcat poster. I composed it using my photos taken at Tomcat Sunset. It is still alive in my memory… For me, and my two Buddys from TOMCATSKY Group it was a mystical experience.

    I’m going to hang up on wall in my living-room. I hope You like it.

    Hi Guys

    This is another long break in project as You see, so no link to the finished work. You'll have to wait a while :thumbsup:

    BTW, I was thinking that moderator already deleted this topic, haha

    Many reasons behind this but the most interesting for You, I think and I hope, is fact that I focused my energy end time to start my own modelling brand.

    The JSOW will be first set as I mentioned almost Year ago and it's ready to cast. The next one will be Viper speed brakes (dedicated to Tamiya kits) which will base on my ealier work showed in this thread (resin + PE).

    What alse You can expect? Well, there will be more for F-14 freeks of course. What would You say for AIM-54 with trolley or turkey wing configuration which I'm thinking about (hard to do and probably very exspensive, but who knows)?

    I need some more time to introduce it completly.

    Artur,

    It was great to hang out with you guys at the sunset! if you're ever back in the US, swing through the midwest or the south and we'll host you guys for a night or two :cheers: (maybe I can even get Marbrey to come over from Huntsville, lol). my "Tomcatsky" patch sits proudly with all of the rest of the patches on my shelf, I consider it a very rare item to have here in the US :D

    I always look forward to an F-14 build from team "Tomcatsky", you guys do really awesome builds. I'll be watching this one closely!

    Cheers,

    -Jeremy (the big tall one)

    It's nice to hear about our patch Jeremy :unsure:

    Unfortunately we also suffer of low number of patches. I think we have to order some more. Also triangle one.

    Visit in US? Yeah, that would be nice to meet You Guys again and talk a little bit more!

    Personally, I also still feel great need to take some photos of any museum F-14 with TF-30 engine before I start to build my Alpha Tomcat.

    About Art's F-14... Well, it will be definitely his best model :woo:

    I can tell you honestly a lot of modelers really hate you now!

    If You mean my slow work, I agree :crying2:

    Last few months I spend on wedding preparations. 10 days left till now

    But from time to time...

    This is how the AGM-154 looks like at this moment. I hope to finish it before the end of the year and start making the resin copies.

    Mystery part of US WWII plane

    in Research Corner

    Posted

    Last weekend I was walking thru the forest looking for mushrooms (very popular in Poland). I'm not so good in this case, but I'm happy because I found a part of construction of US plane from WWII era. Unless I guess. I'm not sure. Frankly speaking I love Mustang, Spitfire and few other WWII planes but I'm not able to recognize which plane this part belongs to. I hope to find help from one of You. Maybe You'll find this part on some pictures of real planes. It's an aluminium part and as You can see it's a little bit twisted. It's about 80cm long.

    I have some information about Liberator whitch was shoot down during bombing mission over Kędzierzyn Koźle city in Poland back in 44'. This plane crashed near Krupski Młyn village. One of the crew members is still alive. Some guys in Poland are going to take a movie about this mission.

    The place where I found this part is on probably course from Kędzierzyn Koźle to Krupski Młyn. So this might be a part of B-24 but as I mentioned I don't have certainty.

    Can somebody help me to figure out what these signs means?

    I'd like to know for what squadron earned it and what's the history (tradition) behind these awards.
