Hi there, thanks!,HI RECURVE very very nice Tomcat you have built there very well done sir but i cant see what the scale of your model is as i have just built the big 1/32 scale super tomcat by trumppeter an lit it up with nav lights an cockpit lights an i was very pleased at how that turned out an i have not put my tomcat build on here as i have only just jioned this site an if you would like to see a pic of it tell me an i'll post one as mine is in the jolly rodgers sqr but your model is really super in that oreange
BOATMAN or chrisb ps any chance of a close up shot of the girl pic on the starbid side ? as i dint know they did this on modern jets
HI WELL i think its a very good idea a pinup girl on the planes nose art an i would like to copy this idea if you dont mind sir but first i need a pinup girl decal as i suppoce you got this off a ww 2 kit ? as love to fit one on my big hornet or the tomcat as i think it sets the model offHi there, thanks!,
No, pinup girls are not typically used on modern aircraft, that's me taking artistic liberties, as for me these are more personal art pieces than historical accuracies. There's just something about the personality the pinup art from WW1 &2 on planes that I love to carry over to modern....
The scale is 1/48. The base kit was the Tamiya F14D,. Several oops and blemishes but overall I'm really happy with how it turned out
