Bartab Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hello all, New on the forum, glad to share my latest finished model from Academy with only a few extras (resin cockpit and WB, decals). Being a fan of the Tomcat and beginner with airbrush, this kit was dedicated to train myself about US Navy jet painting before I go ahead with an F-14.. Hope you like it, ready for any comments!

Bartab Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thanks for the replies! The Tomcat is on the bench.. Now I'm aware that building a Trumpeter kit is a tough process.. Kagemusha and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Terrific Hornet! Although you don't have any close-up pics, it's obvious that you are a very skilled modeler and your paint work is really nice. Cheers, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see a different paintwork, that gives such a different result! Don't know how you felt about decals, I was personnally a bit disappointed in terms of quality and thickness. I expected more from aftermarket products.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
