Excellent work sir, my hats off to you. A challenging build but you definitely bested it. The lighting looks superb! (And an entertaining build thread).
AN HI Andy yes its easy to miss things on this wonderfull forum as there is so many members posting their builds as yes i miss some good builds too an thnk you sir for you nice comments on my TOMCAT as i thought this may end up in the bin due to bad fitting an the decals all splintering just as well that them big skull an cross bones stay togeather ok or i would have had to order some more an they are now gettin costly an i have just been fittin on the REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT TAGS as i oredered them 5 yrs ago an completely forgot about them untill i just sat lookin at the plane on display an it hit me with a there is something missin off the plane but managed now to fit some on the sidewinder missles so at least ive used up 2 of them an will save the rest to put on the S-HORNETI don't know how I missed the finish of this Chris!
A beautiful result and the lighting makes it really special.
MANY THANKS Ski yes i try to get as much as possible workin on any model i make an im goin to try more on the super hornet build just got to hope i dont get let down by a bad fit an bad decals like the probs i had on the tomcat an im now goin to post some build pics on my hornet build of what ive done today not much a open an closein hatch but there is a fair amount of work goin into itWow, pretty impressive how you've got the cockpit and nav lights up and running, awesome. That's a sweet build, Chris!
Very nice Chris. I love the night time pictures, very 'moody'. Great stuff.
Chris, that's a beauty mate. Out standing work on the lights and open panels.
Sorry Chris, very late to the party with this,but what a fantastic job you've done in the face of all those problems. ! Congratulations, one to be very proud of.
MANY THANKS all you guys for your very nice comments on my super tomcat an enterprise builds yes they were a lot of work building an fittin in all the lights an on the tomcat as its just like the real plane but the real plane has more lights such as formation lights as well about another 15 or so but for me these are a step to far as ive seen some other modeler try an light these up an to me it just dint work or look right but if he was happy with it then all well an good but i would never try them as to difficultI think I’m going mad. I could have sworn I’d already posted about your terrific large scale Tomcat????!!!!
Terrific job on the F14, it really looks the biz with all the lights. Enterprise is looking awesome too!
