Patrick thanks,I cant take credit for the original idea with the putty and tape borrowed it from a master builder on another site . Hope you find it helpful on future builds,btw the Tomcat came out really sharp!
Terry,Polux,Dave & Ian thank you for the positive comments.
Well Ray not quite sure how to respond ,geuss I'll have to build a ship with a lot of pe someday to rate some respect.
I added the pe to the gear legs then stepped out in the shop for an a/b session finally adding the white to the bays and gear bits. With this hurdle out of the way I can hopefully start spraying some base color down tonight after it cools off.
