Hello Patrice I have a question concerning markings ? I suspect it would it be against the rules to do a Tomcat in 75th anniversary of US Naval aviation markings. If the markings are a whif idea ? Example i have no proof that in 1986 an F-14 would have worn a yellow wings 1930’s paint scheme from VF-11 “Red Rippers”. Yet they flew tomcats in 1986, and wildcats in 1939? So its a possible scheme? Please advise at your convenience. Dennis

Thats exactly why i went for this scheme. It was unique looking.

Takes the idea of a “ Zwilling “ to the next level. Dennis

Nice looking Cat ... Sorry it wasn't meant to be negative towards you. I hope you didn't recieve it as such ? Just making a point that some dont care. Dennis

Hello @Blackat ... Yes i agree that the Academy isnt 100% accurate. But some modelers, myself included don't really care either. Im of the mindset that if it quacks like 🦆. And walks like a 🦆. Then its a 🦆. So with either the price/diffulculty (i hate over fiddly and over engineered kits) of Hasegawa's. That or the cost of the new Tamiya Tomcats. I’ll live with it not being 100% accurate. Im not building so many that the size differences are noticeable in a lineup. It falls down to an equation. Cost vs. accuracy. How much will i spend vs how accurate does it need to be. Dennis

Ouch ... but the fixes you have look good so far.

Ive done a couple commision builds for relatives of WW2 veterans. I explain up front the costs involved and that they need to provide all but my labor. I built a C-46 many years ago on commision. The “customer” never showed up to pick it up. I got stuck with all the cost up-front. So now its pay before build or supply everything before build. Dennis

Thats one of my Favorite TG episodes.

These look Great 👍 For future reference if you do more of these. I would put the RAF fin flash on the nose of the X-wing.

Are you a Robot ? Thats a heck of a pace. BTW your Ramcharger looks good from what i see. Maybe some more pictures. Dennis

Thanks to Everyone that responded or “liked” this. Dennis

Grabbing my seat and have the Popcorn.

Im not an expert but it does have the appearance of being some kind of fairing. Logically a camera due to the location.
