RKic Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure if its kosher to post WIPs that are in external blogs, on here. If not, then please delete, mods. In the meantime. Those who want to see yet another Tamiya tomcat being built, can follow along on my blog. I'm about 75% of the way through. Here are a few highlights. Please leave comments and constructive criticisms. Here is the link https://wordpress.com/view/rkicbuilds.wordpress.com If the mods allow me to keep this thread running, I'll post subsequent updates here.

Mr.Happy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 RKic, Man you are kicking good sir👍 I too am working on the Tamiya Cat and I’m trying to or attempting to model it as a hi-viz VF-1 Wolfpack line bird. I’m dreading the masking on the nose as it has a yellow Radom tip to it and Tamiya does not give you a cheetline to follow....yikes😲🙄 Yours looks outstanding ‼️ Excelent work Mr.Happy (In name only) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m dreading the masking on the nose as it has a yellow Radom tip to it and Tamiya does not give you a cheetline to follow....yi Thank you, sir! The radome starts about 19 mm ahead of the first vertical panel line (not the slanted line where the nose cone attaches, but the one right behind it. I know that isn't great help, but place some pencil marks 19 mm ahead of the line around the cone, and it will give you something of a rough guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Happy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 RKIC, THANKS MAN👍 I’ll give that a try . Keep up the great work. Bravo Zulu, Mr.Happy (In name only) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks for the comments, guys. They say that slow and steady wins the race. But THEY (whoever they are) probably never ran such a long race. The race is becoming dreadfully boring. I'm determined to finish, but I'll just take a little nap first....
