I also got the right gun piece in place. Right now i'm rescribing the wings and finishing sanding some areas.

And here is where it is now. (Sorry for the bad focus pics)

Here's the scale plans i'm using to help me rescribe the Tomcat. They came from SAM Publications Tomcat book.

Miss OWL,

First off: Congratulations on making the reader gallery!

But ehm... now that the GB is going to end it's term next month, is there any plans for a second one, or a different kind of GB...? Hey, Somebody has got to pop the question, right?

Richard

wait? IM in the magazine?! Seriously? I havent yet got this months issue (mom is holding it hostage at home). That'd be really cool if I was!!

I was thinking of doing a "Forces of Nature" GB. Like thunder/lightning, comet, mirage, winds, etc. Basically any thing that has a name that deals with nature. What do you guys think of the idea?

Medicman71

nice going, medicman. Cant wait to see the big cat all put together!

MM: That looks sharp! Those resin add-ons are going to look great.

Owl: Love the idea but I said I wouldn't join anymore GBs this year until I finish some stuff and clear the work bench. Then I went and jumped in with Son of Medicine Man's Berny GB and The Real Red Baron's P-40 GB.

No more GBs for me and I mean it this time... 

I think I need to attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings.... just one more drink and no more...

hey, crossovers are always welcome! 2 for 1 deal, yeah yeah?

Hmmmmmmm, interesting idea on the cross-overs...

Nakajima Ki-61 Hayate (Gale)

Yokosuka R2Y1 Keiun (Beautiful Cloud)

Nakajima C6N1 Saiun (Painted Cloud)

Aichi M6A1 Seiran (Mountain Haze)

Nakajima B6N1 Tenzan (Heavenly Mountain)

Yokosuka P1Y1 Ginga (Milky Way)

Aichi B7A1 Ryusei (Shooting Star)

Kawanishi N1K1 Shiden (Violet Lightning)

Mitsubshi A7M1 Reppu (Hurricane)

Plus a:

P-80 Shooting Star

Hawker Tempest

Eurofighter Typhoon

Gawd I need to build something and clear out some of this overblown stash I'm accumulating 

Looking good there Medicman!.

Owl- Look toward the bottom first page of the online reader gallery, there it is , one P-51 from the Odd Animals GB. Feels good doesn't it? Congrats! 

My F-82 air racer what if made the Feb. online gallery, now if we can get into the print mag like Fermis.

I'll still give you a big congrads!!! Owl!

Great model, I still don't see how ya'll do such a great job with foil.

Thanks everyone. Hope to make some headway on it soon. Working too much at the moment.

Work continues on the Tomcat. Primed the fuselage, wings, vert stabs and variuos other parts yesturday and today. Still some work to do and some touch ups as well.

yay, photos! Looks pretty good to me. Are the wings going to be able to pivot?

No. They're gonna be fixed in the swept back position. Next Tomcat I build will have the wings extended.

MM: looking good

Thanks OWL and Gamera.

Less than 20 days left, fellas! Get crackin!

LOL!! I have less than that! I'm trying to finish the Tomcat before the 28th of this month do get it in our IPMS Show.

less than 5 days left!!

Been plugging away steadily at my He-162. Didn't like that big steel ball Tamiya provides for ballast, so I rigged my own by filling some 5/16 styrene tubing with tungsten powder (heavier than steel), sealing both ends and gluing it in place.

It's gonna be a tight finish, but with a 3-day weekend, I just may get it done. Should have some progress pics up tonight.

sweeeeet! I always though the He-162 was a nifty looking plane

Well, sorry to say I will not complete this on time. Which is no great surprise to anyone considering the date on this post! LOL.

This is why I never grab a badge till I'm done and I have only two badges.

Anyway, here is a pic of where I am at so far on the Corvette Stingray.

Obviously, still a lot of work to do. Oh, well.

I'd be willing to extend it for you slowpokes, if youd like.
