Thanks for sharing these pics!

The build is looking great!

Ditto here too

No thanks.

Bar you say! When's the open house! Looking forward to the continuation of your build. Cheers, Mike

My favorite loadout for the Tomcat! Nice job on your build! Mike

Ditto here as the others have stated.

Condolences to his family. RIP sir. Helluva an artist.

Agree with the ES-3A.

After nine plus years on the SOD, three moves, and numerous contemplations to trash the build, it is finally done! It is inaccurate and has numerous build mistakes/miscues, but it looks the part to me. Although, it really needs some weathering to make it look right. I experimented with some oil paint weathering, but I stopped as I didn’t want to get bogged down and lose motivation again sending it back to the SOD. I need to watch more of Mike Rinaldi’s OPR videos and do more practicing, so I feel comfortable enough with oil weathering to fully attempt on my next build.

John1 - see this tweak list by Thierry:

I recall reading somewhere that the wing tips of the F (similar to the D) were different than the G. The G wing tips had antennas and relocated navigational lights. More inform members here will either correct or confirm the recollection of my fading memory.

Fantastic build!

I used the kit LG on my build, and I used epoxy to assemble the LG. No issues with them sagging after 5+ years.

Nicely done!

Just catching up on your build and fantastic work so far! Looking forward to following the rest of the build.

Stunning!

Welcome!

I definitely need to stay away from this hobby! https://m.facebook.com/reel/705883727597058/

I have a 1/32 version of the kit, but I’ll buy one of these just to support a Ukrainian company.

Image shows.

There’s an article on LSP how someone did this.

I'm in this GB with the Hasegawa's Ki-43 Oscar II. The build doesn't look challenging, but the peeling paint look will be. I'll have to search the web to find techniques on how to achieve the look. Thanks for looking in. Mike
