Well here's my first proper venture into the seedy world of making things with wings!
This is the 'Black Tomcat' from Revell (although it won't be black!)
The kit itself is simply awful IMHO. Nothing fits properly, there's flash everywhere & ejection marks all over the place - 6 on the arrester hook alone!
Suffice to say that much filler & sanding have been needed. It's still nowhere near ok, but I'm getting sick of it now!
It's not really a build thread as it's pretty much done, but here's where I'm at - primer on
& an attempt at pre-shading.
