Aviano Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi guy, thanks for the words! No, no problems, just mure work! But its a real fun to build this one, great kit! Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janremco Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Looking good already Oliver. You added some nice goodies to it. Jan Remco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Jan, thank you! Only slow progress at the moment because here in Austria is good/shiny weather (25°). Yesterday i started with the upper and lower fuselage. I must wait for my mr. surfacer 500 and microsol delivery If its possible i post some progress pics in the afternoon. The goodies are perfect, specially the AIM-54! Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janremco Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 So Oliver I might have to consider to buy a set of those goodies when starting mine. For now I will follow your build before starting mine. Jan Remco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Nice work, I had smaller issues with the radome, but I still had to use a little filler. Have a look on eBay for the metal pitot that fits the HB Tomcat, a nice addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegringo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 A little delivery yesterday Eduard weapon set & Quickboost intake covers I recommend that you use a heated knife blade to cut the missiles from their pour blocks otherwise the fins will break. Put the blade in a flame, then use the tip to melt away the resin near the fins. Hope that helps Les 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks Jan & Parabat! Jan, i recommend this weapon set! Lovely detailed! I look forward to your build, but i can only say one thing to you - dryfit and study the instructions!! There are may things you must watch before glueing/painting (landing gear, interior,....)! The construction is complex! Be carefully Parabat, my randome is corrected, only ned mr. surfacer for fillig! The other ugly thing - there is a huge gap between the rear section and the fuselage on the underside! Plenty of filler will be needed there! Oliver. Hi Les, thanks for your tip! Will follow your intructions Oliver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviano Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Partytime! Yesterday evening i made plenty of work on the Tomcat! First, i started with these two buddies.... Good fit and nice detailed! Only a oilwash and pigments is left (this will be made on all parts from the undercarriageat the end of the build!) Oliver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
