Ale85 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Since i was a child, when i saw on an italian modeling magazine an article about the Tomcat in VF-31 colors, i dreamed about having it in my collection. It was 1997 or so. Now, after 22 years and lot of failure, i can put a red tailed Cat in my "showroom". It's not the perfect model, but i'm very happy! Tamiya kit with some resin bits from Quickboost (ladder steps, beaver tails, tail plates), Def Model (wheels), and Eduard (seat). Decals are a mix from Haseagawa and kits decals (insgina and stencils). Hope you like it! ciao Ale Edited March 7, 2020 by Ale85 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary For me "Tomcatters" and "Wolfpack" are the best schemes for a Tomcat. ciao Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
