Andrew Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Lovely result Calum; you've made me seriously consider doing a Tomcat in grey and white myself - something I was convinced I'd never do until now.. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) fantastic build! are the wings still moveable? those missiles seem to have had quite some flight time! ! Edited June 7, 2017 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Very nicely done. Tomcats always looked better in Light Gull Grey/White IMHO. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin8 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 You've covered all the bases, great build and finish. Display is very fitting and photography with the black background really draws all the attention to your workmanship. I've seen others use the dark background but would like to see it used a bit more as I feel the subjects really become the focus. Well done.

Andrew. Yeah I was never that much of a fan but I really liked the VF 41 scheme... Am tempted to do another albeit a Cliche 'd VF84 jet 9 hours ago, exdraken said: fantastic build! are the wings still moveable? those missiles seem to have had quite some flight time! ! Yeah wings still move. And I wanted dirty missiles. Most of my references (albeit for newer weapons than these) show them quite dirt. 9 hours ago, baldwin8 said: You've covered all the bases, great build and finish.

I've seen others use the dark background but would like to see it used a bit more as I feel the subjects really become the focus. Well done. I do agree fr certain subjects, particularity light ones like this. But I did find it much harder to get good shots with the dark background. I ended up with lots of reflections on the lens, which translated to the image (obviously ) Edited June 7, 2017 by Calum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Drover Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 That looks sweet Calum. And as mentioned already the black backdrop makes it really pop. Love the scheme too. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am tempted to do another albeit a Cliche 'd VF84 jet I spose it's Ok😀 Blog is a great read too . You know, I've never bought into this " cliched" thing. It's a great scheme and if you want one in your cabinet, I reckon go for it. Same as if ever a decent 32 scale B mustang comes out, I'll be doing Shangri-la. I don't care that everyone else has done it. Everyone else's models are not in my cabinet ! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
