tomcatemtom Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, I will be posting my progress pictures of my tomcat which will be a vf-103 and my superhornet also. I am just trying to upload into bucket list so they will be there in a or so. also have been building 70% finished a new 1/32 scale us navy tow tractor to tow my tomcat. I will be casting it over the next few months also. I will post my 1/32 scale Australian airforce tow tractor 85% finished also which will be going with my superhornet. love to know it you think the tractors are worth casting for possible future intrests thanks Michael testing the photobucket. finished this one in 2010 with a lot of work on this taymia. 12 months of work off and on. everything resribed, riveted, wings and air intakes are starch built and many other thinks. Australian tow tractor which will go with my superhornet in Australian markings. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k568/emtomkat/DSC01029-2.jpg[/img][/url] http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k568/emtomkat/DSC01232.jpg[/img][/url] Us navy modern tow tractor will go with my f-14 tomcat (tamyia) long variant. Still lots more to do. And as I am casting these I am having to make everything so they will slip out of my molds correctly Edited March 8, 2014 by tomcatemtom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomcatemtom Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) So what we have is a base which is being made from MDF with the flight deck being scribed out and the catapult will be carved shortly, then filled and detailed with plasic card. I used textured paint with a grey pigment to make it easy to paint later on. In the photos I have my vfa-103 with the base colours painted and my ea-18g growler top view. photos of details to come on them. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k568/emtomkat/DSC01302.jpg[/img][/url] Only have completed base colours will be working on seats and extras soon. Work on covers and Edwards electronics at present. Edited March 8, 2014 by tomcatemtom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The F14 is certainly impressive. Nicely done, and so is the base. Your tow tractor is amazing. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
