Sweet mate! So, this is you popping your GB cherry then....

T Bolt · May 2, 2010

Great choice! Looks likes there's going to be a large range of aircraft in this group build. Should be fun!

Airframes · May 2, 2010

Nice one Bruce! Should be an impressively large model when done mate.
Yep, looks like a good selection so far, and a heck of a lot of choices over such an extended time period. Keep 'em coming!!

Nice choice Bruce, I'll be eyeing this one with interest as I have a Tamiya 1:32 Tomcat sitting in the stash..

Nice choice Bruce. I have recently got the Tomcat fever and been collecting and building as many as I can find (1/144 scale). I look forward to seeing what a real modeler can do with on in 1/48. I even think I have a "Be-Deviler" in 1/144.

hi all ,here is an update on the build so far,not much i'm afraid. I've only filled the sink marks in the air intakes and sanded them back but this afternoon i got the parcel with the resins seats and the photo etch so work will soon begin.

T Bolt · May 17, 2010

Looks good Bruce! Looks like you'll be kept busy with all those aftermarket bits!

dirkpitt289 · May 17, 2010

Looks like you got a lot of nice goodies for this one. Bring on the show!

Wayne Little · May 18, 2010
