stevej60 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hi folks hopefully my run of failed builds will end with this Project.Not an aircraft I've modelled much over the years maybe three or four starting with Airfix's kit when it and the Tomcat were new.I'll be building the said version in the original hi-viz scheme. I had a crack at Airfix's kit a couple of years ago for a GB and enjoyed the nostalgia. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Good luck Steve. Same scheme as mine, we both obviously have impeccable taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Best of good luck with this one Steve Nice choice going with the hi-viz scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi Steve, this is my favourite scheme as well! As long as it is Hi-Viz! I can't stand the all grey US Navy. Just like you, I did build an old Airfix F-14 and it was really fun! Next I have my sight on the latest Academy offering. I will be following your efforts, so have a lot of fun! All the best JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Jean,and in the spirit of fun two seventies style aircrew were added after the cockpit was painted and decalled. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scargsy Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hi Steve, Looking good - will be following on closely as I have exactly the same kit - though probably will do the grey 'low-viz' scheme if I ever get around to starting it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Coming along nicely! Your rendition of the VF-142 Cat looks great - and from the Airfix kit at that. Amazing! And thanks for planning to build the Wolfpack example in Hi-Viz colours - the way USN aircraft were meant to be seen. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierpaolo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hi I also have the same kit but I will not use the decals included because they are wrong .. the hi-viz version had serial 158979 (not 159434) and had a early type beaver tail during the first cruise, in the low-viz version the serial number is definitely wrong, it belong to a VF-11 tomcat, I don't know the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
