Habu12 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Contrary to my usual MO, I kept this one pretty clean, as it was an early jet, and my refs showed only a little dirt. Edited November 7, 2016 by Habu12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonnell Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hello,Habu12 - My full compliments to you on another fine looking build of this magnificent kit and subject.I love the quality and detail of the paint and finishing work and commend the subtle 'realistic' weathering.A glorious scheme from the 'hi-viz' days. I love it. 😉👍 All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habu12 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 So, why did I pick this scheme? Well not only does it look good IMO, it was the first model I ever painted fully when I was a wee kid. Oh, 7,8, or 9. About the time the old Monogram kit was out. It was this scheme. I painted the topside gray, the bottom white, the stabs white, and the flaps/spoilers white. Even the nose was painted in radome tan. I added all the decals, and set it atop our family TV (CRT back in those days). My dad looked at it, and said how awesome it looked. I think we both realized then that I may be good at this model building thing. Over thirty years later, I've come full circle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That's a great story, glad you shared that last bit with us. It was a cherry on top after viewing your Tomcat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
