Björn LeichsenringThe cat looks good. Only a few too thick brush strokes on the tail. What kit and decals you used?
26 April 2016, 05:48
vincent coynehello yeah the revell aquacolor paints can be very thick . a modeler said there similar to emulsion paint.
the black tomcat revell kit. and the decals are aftermarket ones tomcats in color part 1
the decals the red color looks a bit dark compared to the real thing.

vincent coynehello what part are the elevators.
the tomcats in color decals the painting instructions are not the best
they don't show the plane from all angles thanks

Germen V@Vincent the elevators are the rear wings on a Cat

Christian RistitsGreat Job on this Cat...and a 2:1 mix of the Aqua Color with Aqua Color mix or simply Water should help to brush them better. Cheers!

vincent coynehello so the bottom of tail wings have to be painted white
thanks Christian for paint mix ratio

RexThe top of the tail wings (elevators) are also White, that is because that whole thing is the control surface.
I wouldn't change it now if the model is done, though. But maybe keep it in mind for the next Tomcat you do, unless you do one of the many overall gray ones, that is.
It can be hard to remember all the changes in the color specs,,,,,,,,I once built a really pretty looking Skyhawk, and painted the rudder White,,,,,but, the model was of an aircraft from before that time, when the rudders were still Gray. (1961ish for that change)

Christian RistitsThat Sounds great, looking forward to this! One remark on your Cat...the dark grey markings for the walkways above the intakes should be put more forward next time. Cheers, Christian

vincent coynethe decals broke on the intake il have to buy some setting solution
does any one have tips on how to use it thanks
16 May 2016, 16:38
Christian RistitsI would let them as they are, still looking good...if you really want to correct it, maybe some paintwork will do the job?

vincent coynehello the f15 is build now. the hardest decals to put on it are the side ones
because they have to go over the empty bomb racks. several of them had to be cut to fit
a lot of the tiger stripe decals the clear ones are over sized
painted in tiger sceme on the box. the f16 is next
1 June 2016, 16:56
vincent coynehello the f16 isn't that easy to do
the coloured parts have to be masked be cause the the decals are over sized
epecelly the one on the tail
the last kit the f15 the tail decals were over sized as well
thanks

4 September 2016, 13:32
vincent coynethe super hornet is coming to a end
the next up is the two dragon harriers
12 September 2016, 11:41
vincent coynesuper hornets finished
the back legs arnt the strongest I had to hold them in position using a cocktail stick
that was held in position with tape until the glue was set
15 October 2016, 22:13
vincent coynethe next up is the two dragon harriers the nose needs to be cut of and the other nose they give you doesn't fit
