Petrov27 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) continuing to come together fantastic - great to follow along this weekend! Yeah one of the big surprises to me was that the various lights on the Tam kit are not separate bits in clear plastic - instead you have to paint the grey to look like clear red etc Edited September 23, 2018 by Petrov27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 well here is as far as I get this weekend. I have plans with some friends for the next 2 days so I will be taking a break. I spent most of tonight adding all the tiny bits and pieces like pitot probes and the ladder the vertical stabs will be the last thing I glue on, it's so much easier to add stuff to the bottom when you can lie it flat. the A model is slightly farther along and I even managed to get the exhausts painted for the A model I can see there are quite a few touch ups to do. this is my least favorite part of building an airplane, the little crap that keeps it from being complete..starting tuesday the ordnance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Absolutely fantastic. If I only had that half that amount of time to myself (kids, school) I could probably get my Monogram Tomcat finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jokes aside, nice save on the glue mark. Looks absolutely perfect. -co Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think I am a little Tomcatted out. not much progress this week. Tarps and bullwinkle pods on the A. Seats and canopy done...ish. I'm not a fan of how the seats turned out at all, I might get a set of quickboost seats on the D model I got the chin pod finally done, due to some hamfistedness I had to repaint it twice. also seats and canopy done on this one. and the one Phoenix missile. the kit decals are less than user friendly and can go eat an entire bag of richards.

Janissary Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 They look awesome! How is the clearance between the front IP coming canvas and the bottom of the windscreen? If front-lower part of the canvas was made thicker with tissue or milliput (say 0.5mm thick) would that interfere with the windscreen? Looks like a tight fit but can't tell clearly from the pics.

dylan Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 it is a tight fit but I think it is possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
