You're making great progress on your big cat Marcel and she looks superb.

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 :clap2:

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...

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:

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!

 

Cheers,

 

Marcel

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...

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,
