Cool job! Considering you have not yet premamently fixed the canopy, you may wish to remove the ejection seat handles from the top of the seats. D version of the Tomcat uses different kind of seats than A and B and has only a small yellow handle between the pilots legs. What markings will she carry?

After watching Top Gun for the first time (seriously, age 38) the other week and seeing this thread I think I might have to have a go at a Tomcat one day - yours looks great!!

Thanks Martin,

I think it's a case of I have never built anything in any other scale since I got back into the hobby. So am used to the small sizes.

Thanks Rob,

This has always been one of my favorite planes. So when I saw this in my local model shop I had to get it.

Well it's finished and I have to say it was a pleasure to build this fantastic plane. It's a shame only a few were kept for museum pieces and the rest immediately scrapped so no spares could end up with the Iranians. The only other country that bought them

Thanks everyone for your comments throughout the build and I hope you enjoy the finished plane.
