Well, it's 2:45am and I've finally finished my first Tomcat for this group build. It's the Academy 1/72 kit, with decals from an old Superscale sheet. The stars and bars were scavanged from an MPC F-14 kit, and the tail was painted red and the letter codes cut out since they were off register.

Loadout consists of a 2x-Phoenix-3x-Sparrow-2x-Sidewinder configuration (because it looks so cool). I'll put the 'Cat on a brighter (and cleaner) background and take more pics as soon as I can and send 'em to Steve.

Anyway the wing modex numbers were too small and for some reason I placed them on the inner flaps. I won't be able to get around to replacing those until I get some new numbers printed out.

And why the heck are the pictures always so dark?! It's not like I model in the freakin' Batcave or something...

Very very nice, you've really done a great job with the academy kit. Any chance of some more pics, including close-ups? :thumbsup:

Erm also, just noticed, not wanting to be rude or anything but i think you might have placed the larger side probes too far up the nose, they should be round about where the yellow rescue arrow is.

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, the instructions were kinda vague on where those go, and the panel lines didn't correspond. I'll have to figure out where to reposition them later. Thanks for the pointer!
