If I were to send you a large box of bits, would you finish mine off for me please? This is a treat to see, keep it up Ha, doubt that I could ever match the incredible standard you have set with you Tomcat WIP... really hope to see that completed one day...

Marcel111 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) The exhausts are in and she's very much standing on her own legs: The position lights made from red or blue acrylic sheet turned out quite nice: Targeting pod: The True Details wheels are outstanding: This is by far the most challenging build I have done and even though I get gratification from the result, I am borderline not enjoying building anymore since every single step of the process is painful. Hardly anything fits, I guess Aires just threw in the towel on fit also, the front door hinges in no way match the Aires gear well. Can't wait to get her done!

chuck540z3 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 "The True Details wheels are outstanding". Heck, the whole model is outstanding! Great job Marcel. Almost there.... Cheers, Chuck A-10LOADER and Marcel111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobinsonh Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Wow great build. Would love to see what you could do with the Tamiya 1/32nd Tomcat. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Beautiful work so far! Hang in there, she’s almost done! Cheers Alan Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guido Schrijvers Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) She looks stunning. (I only have a Wolfpack version from 1987, the “111” (anybody happened to have a picture of the real one?), but after moving a few times, pieces have gone missing. I am about to order a new one, Trumpeter, F14-B Bombcat, but I’d like to make it look like my original VF-1 Wolfpack... No idea yet how...) But anyway... only your canopy and the probe! Then she’s done! (on first sight)... Really looks amazing... Edited May 13, 2020 by Guido Schrijvers Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Great build Marcell This might motivate me to get my Tamiya one finished. (In the stash since 1988 and sitting on the shelf of doom) Cheers Nick Edited May 13, 2020 by Cheetah11 Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-10LOADER Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Beautiful work so far Marcel, love it !! Now, imagine her in 1/18th scale ! Looking forward to your next update. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Big thanks for all of the encouragement on this build. She is now DONE! The updates have been skimpy, that's in part since modelling the Trumpeter Tomcat has been so well covered elsewhere but also because I really just wanted to get this build done, it was quite the battle. Many more pics over on Ready for Inspection. Cheers, Marcel A-10LOADER, dodgem37, Lenny320 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
