delayar Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi Folks, Here is my recently finished Tamiya Tomcat depicting "Miss Molly", a Tomcat of the VF-111 Sundowners as it was painted in 1989. It is the 1/48 Tamiya kit with decals from Furball Aero Sesign (Sundowners Anthology) I used some aftermarket to bring the cat to block 125 standard: Steel Beach vinyl tail stiffeners Steel Beach RWR antennas Quickboost TCS chinpod Eduard Brassin late wheels Eduard Brassin ejection seats Eduard Brassin AIM-7E + AIM-9L I had to do the painting and decals twice. because of a bad reaction in the final clear coat, I decided to strip the paint completely and restart from the bare plastic. Waethering is minimal, since at least most of the aircraft was freshly painted, at least on the few pictures available of this jet. I gave the jet a subtle pre shading and a panel line wash with Tamiya panel line enhancer in grey, and a few oil streaks in front of the engines. There ar no in-progress pictures, because it was a quite straightforward build. Cheers, markus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
