Habu12 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Loaded out as if on the day of the engagement, Gulf Of Sidra I. This is Fast Eagle 102, that slashed an Su-22 Fitter on that day. OOB, except for the decals, which came from the exquisite Furball sheet. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Now thats is very very nice!! I love the finish. I have the original D&S book with info on this incident - its always stuck in my memory! BTW - with all the talk of Tamiya's new 'Cat - just what is wrong with the Hobby Boss model intakes? ( I have the eduard boxing and it looks like lovely model, so I'm intrigued) Jonners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 What a stunner! You've done a cracking job on this Tomcat, looks like it's seen some hard work! Love these aircraft.

BTW - with all the talk of Tamiya's new 'Cat - just what is wrong with the Hobby Boss model intakes? ( I have the eduard boxing and it looks like lovely model, so I'm intrigued) Jonners When viewed directly ahead, the top lip of the intakes are not parallel to the bottom lips, hence much gnashing of teeth and wailing across the world. I don't mind it that much TBH, the rest of the kit is great (usual TrumpyBoss 'Mad Riveter' is in evidence) to build and has superb options OOB (IFR probe, weapons, dropped slats and flaps, superb engine details, near resin detail cockpit etc.). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That's a lovely paint finish. Top job. I have an old D&S decal sheet to do Fast Eagle 107 in 1/32 scale. Hope she turns out looking a lot like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
