I got a little bench time today, so i made an effort on my old 1/32 Revell Tomcat. This thing has been a shelf queen for over 30 years. Over those years I've managed to lose a few parts here and there. Mainly the rubber tires. I tried to locate some replacement
s but no joy. Hence I spent this afternoon modifying the gear well doors so I could glue them on in a gear up mode. I've come close to throwing this one out on the street many times but for some reason I keep chipping away at it. I have no idea how I want to paint it, or display it. But here's some piccys of it.

That must be quite a size! There looks to be a good level of detail for the age of the kit
Best wishes

She a beastie! Surprising for a 1981 mild. Recess panel lines, but typical for Revell of that time fit is sloppy in places and detail is soft in places. Hell the same can be said of a lot of Revells newer stuff.

It looks really impressive Dollar. You're going to need a big display cabinet though ;-)

That is nice Wildcat.

Great Job!

I have a airfix Wildcat which want to build now and Eduard hellcat (way above my skill level at the moment).

Nice looking Tomcat, Dollar. Can't believe you've had it on the shelf of doom for 30 years :shock:

This will either get given away or become a ceiling hanger

I’m thinking that new Airfix Wildcat will be a future project for me.

What can I say..... I’m a slow builder. The biggest issue I’ve had is it’s size. The damn thing is huge. I can’t imagine the guys that only build in 1/32. Or their work spaces!
