Gear bay doors and missiles are on. I started with the gear bay doors. Then the Pheonix went on. Lastly, I glued the AIM-9s and AIM-7s to the wing glove pylons. Then these went onto the fuselage. I painted the tires so those will be next. Right side up.

Great work on the gear bay. I'm still plugging away at my Tomcat build as well so I'm sort of glad to not be the only one here.

Yup. It'll go nicely with the Bandai one I have. A before and after I guess.

Is it me or does that Devastator look a bit compressed?

Here kitty, kitty, kitty.

Really amazing work Ron.

Bigger than I thought. Amazing detail with the seatbelts as others have mentioned.

Really great progress there Phil. Tamiya out did themselves on the Mossie. But I think three of them will be enough for me.

Over at Britmodeler, a member posted a link that has pics of the Tomcats on the flightline during the filming. https://www.floridamemory.com/find?keywords=countdown

Here's hoping for the best Peter.

Sharp work there.

I come close to that. Back in 2007, I bought my '91 Honda Beat completely online. The car was in Vancouver, I was in Toronto. Had it shipped to me and have had it ever since. It's not my daily as it's a convertible 2 seater and we're a family of four. Almost as crazy was the first time I decided to try my hand at being a home mechanic was replacing the timing belt and water pump on the Beat. It's mid-engine and the manual says that it should be an engine out service. Ended up just dropping the engine slightly and skinning my knuckles a bit. Supposedly it's an afternoon job. For me, it ended up a whole day and a couple more.afternoons with the help of some more mechanically experienced friends.

Incredible how fast this one is going together. I may just have to try my hand at one of these. The only 190 I've attempted was the Hasegawa A-8 and it ended in failure.

All the way from Ireland.

Still plugging away at this. The HAD decal sheet doesn't include the Ejection Seat triangles so I tempted fate and used the kit ones. 40+ year old decals. I was surprised they didn't explode on contact with the water.

Oh same here.

Yup, the airfoil is upside down. I should have a spare Fisher folded wing if you're interested. I had asked for the straight wing when I got my kit and Paul accidentally sent the folded one. He sent the straight wing afterwards so won't need the folded one. Let me know.

Wow.

Stickers on! Well, some of them.

I'm not looking forward to spraying the yellow on the helmets I have.

This will.be great to watch. I've got one of their MH-60 kits in the stash.

Got a side door they drop stuff off instead?

I haven't seen it listed yet. I'm checking every day for what comes up at least once in the morning and again in the late afternoon.

Finally on her legs. I gave the fuselage a light panel wash using Mig Storm Grey panel line wash. It's subtle but is there.

Thanks Martin! The original kit missiles were pretty plain, especially compared to the Eduard ones which is why I swiped replacements from the F-4EJ kit.
