Sebastijan Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 In the meantime, work continues on Tomcat I drilled the hole, covered it behind with a sheet styrene and made refueling probe out of brass tube Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amen Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) It looks good Sebastijan,probe adds some nice detail. Edited September 29, 2012 by Amen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nice work on that probe. I think that is one of those details that shows the uniqueness of the Ali Cats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 thanks Amen and TT a small progress - intakes were attached and flying surfaces dryfitted - looks like a Tomcat now, doesn't it? ;) I have a new problem though - it appears carpet monster ate two parts for its beaver tail - guess it was very hungry - hope I find it somewhere. As I'm off to Switzerland for Axalp tomorrow next update will be a bit late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Looking good there Seb :D Bring back some nice pics from Axalp, ya hear :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Quite a long time since my last update. Unfortunately real life prevented more progress on my builds, but luckily I've recently restarted my builds. Since I don't have much time left, I've decided to put a Tomcat on hold and try to finish Tiger and Phantom until the deadline. With a little luck, I'll be able to finish the Tomcat as well. But first things first. Tiger and Phantom are in the painting stage and have yet to receive dark green color, some overspray repair (hey I'm doing a freehand paintjob) and the black parts and Alclads... Next progress sometimes in the next week, hopefully fully painted. As you can see I went for a heavy faded look of a heavy burdened machines fighting the war in desert conditions.

TaiidanTomcat Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 interesting to see how they look with that gray before you apply the dark green. I should make a note of that camo, it looks plausible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 thanks mates! Phantom dressed up as well. Gotta say I had quite a bit of silvering with Hasegawa decals while HiDecals one worked out perfectly - the only blemishes there are, are my fault but should dissapear under some decal softener Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Both look great.I only noticed one thing.What is that ejection seat in the tiger?It looks like mk-4 or mk-6? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 thanks mate. mk.6 - standard issue with IRIAF Tigers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Weathering on the undersides started. This was the first time I've decided not to preshade the model but use oils for highlighting and shadowing panels and I must admit, I'll probably never go back.
