In short: WOW!
in better length:
I love those colors what did you use?
The single fin looks better than I could have imagined!
And finally, your masking and paint work and scheme selection are excellent (love black nosed F-14s), its not just a great (TOMCAT!) idea, its a great model from a technique stand point as well :)
thanks for the kind comments
the colours are standard to atlantian navy (iv got a tomcat replacement in the stash
)
the tsr 2 has white underside but i ran out of that and im skint so i used revell 371 light gray which actually looks like a dirty white and it covers better.
the top is all tamiya
xf19 light gray
xf 23 light blue
xf82 dark gray/blue
the actual camo is deliberately different on the cat and the tsr2 and will be different again (bigger) on the tomcats replacement
i try to approach most of my whifs from a realism point of view ie what looks like it could be a real solution to a problem/idea.
although i admit i nicked this idea from a pic of an early tomcat mockup lol
