[Guest]

Hi Friend's.


Finished this yesterday.


This is the Hobbyboss kit and went together with no problems.


Had fun with this kit.


I am dedicating this build to George,my cat, who sadly died during this build.


Rip George.


All the best.


Ralph.

Excellent build Ralph! During the build, I wondered if the pre-shading was showing through too strongly but now it's done it really gives the Tomcat a realistically grimy look - straight from the flight-line

I find that if I do a real intense pre-shade.Most of it will disappear under a few coats of gloss and the final panel wash and subsequent matt varnish

Beautifully done

Just love the Tomcat Ralph, very nicely finished, with a touching tribute too. That kit looks to be a pretty good build.
