Parabat Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Thanks Simon! Yesterday i started with the landing gear and finishing the cockpit, but slowly slowly Then work goes on to the RESIN parts, never work with this. Must look, the Brassin seats looks amazing. More pics on saturday! Oliver Problem is, resin seats are addictive! I like using Quickboost (full resin with belts, the same otherwise as Aires) seats and I now throw them in every build as they're such a good look. Can't wait to see your progress with this Tomcat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thats right Parabat, the details are amazing! Ok, more progress yesterday - first i cleaned all the Resin parts with water and dish soap Sidewalls painted, also i gave the Resin seats a first coat of flat black 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviano Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Parabat, thanks! You must take a look on the Resin wheels, they are just bombastic !!!! Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Parabat, thanks! You must take a look on the Resin wheels, they are just bombastic !!!! Oliver They do look good - I recently used the Wheeliant wheels on my F-14A VF-24 build. It not only offers a lot of detail but peace of mind against the viynle wheels which apparently deteriorate. Keep up the good work, I'm sure you're going to enjoy this model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Very nice update, those seats look good. Just thinking those central ejection grab handles should be a little lower down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviano Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ok, i made a few things this afternoon on the Tomcat, glued in the cockpit section and closed the tube, fit is ok! Also installed the already painted landing gear, a little bit tricky this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
