Love your model. Just beautiful.

By the way, in Spanish 'Frog mouth' can be used as a synonym of 'Big mouth': a person that speaks too much and says what he/she should'nt. Is in English the same?

Beautiful build and a truly striking color scheme-I just noticed your moving just down the road from me
( relatively speaking. Austin is about an hour and half north of SA ) Any chance we'll see you at the
Austin show this year?

Thanks everyone!

More blasts from the past (going to keep moving stuff over here from the old site, Haven't been working much on much Russian stuff as I would like)

Doom! · « **Reply #60 on:** October 09, 2012, 12:17:29 AM »

Cool! I hadn't seen this one before. :)

Sweet! Glad you liked it Doom :)

One of my favorites! FLEETSTAR, GSFG 1980's

Mr Tomcat, that's just wicked!

You have some very serious painting skills, sir!

Lavochkin La-300, Sudan 1961. (after brief refueling stops in Azerbaijan, Iraq, Syria, And Egypt

)

1/100 EE lightning scale o ramaed to 1/72 with a Mig-17UTI canopy and this fellow:

The first two colors went on great, the black spattered which was unfortunate because I really couldn't redo the black without having to redo everything else. The top stabilizer broke off after painting and has been lost ever since :banghead: Still hoping it will turn up but after a week it was time to post this already!

What inspired it:

The profile gekko posted only a couple days after I painted it!:

raafif · « **Reply #64 on:** October 18, 2012, 08:39:55 AM »

actually I prefer your scheme to the F-104 one

and what's wrong with an asymetric stab. ?? it's still sufficient make the aircraft go up & down !

That camo is sheer artistry, Mr Tomcat.

Your work humbles me, sir.

When it comes to Falcon inspirations I tend to drone on a bit.

From the Shelf Queen GB on ARC:

Update:

Su-27 Exhausts

Canopy masked to look Russian like. Used twin seat Sukhoi Su-22s and MiG-23 for ideas.

Underside painted a gray who's name escapes me.

The joys of removing gross nasty masking tape that was applied about 5 years ago.

Dk Green on Top, with a rattle bomb. After that I painted by hand Euro I Green, Military Brown and Finally an off black I mixed on the spot. So I stepped back to admire my handiwork and...

I didn't like it.

There are way too many cool schemes out there. More cool schemes than I have models in the stash (and I have A LOT of models in the stash.) plus it looked way tooo similiar to the Tomcat above! So even though this thing has been a shelf queen for a long time, and the finish line is in sight, I'm going back to the drawing board. More updates to come.

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #70 on:** March 26, 2015, 11:05:00 AM »

Sat down with SWMBO and we looked at some of the excellent profiles from Richard Chafer

Decided on this one

http://studiogekko.blogspot.com/

Its also helpful because I probably couldn't replicate that masking job on the Canopy, so this one had Dk. Green.

Jade Green rattle bomb.

Masked with silly putty

White went on well enough. I went a little heavier on the nose and tailfin with the idea that they would be dielectric panels but it caused some issues some cracking on the nose and bad stuff on a fin:

Wow what a mess!! Silly putty and tape to save on scarce silly putty

Much better!

Euro I Gray Radome. I couldn't do white, and I needed to pick a different gray from the underside.

By pure coincidence they even matched up! didn't even try!

Last shot on a freshly cleaned work bench.

Much happier with this. :) :)

arkon · « **Reply #71 on:** March 26, 2015, 11:22:33 AM »

Wow👍👍that paint looks great!
Worms have shown up when I paint white from a rattle can also , usually from where I touched the model right before I paint it .

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #72 on:** March 28, 2015, 05:33:23 AM »

That's some absolutely killer camo!

Brian da Basher

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #73 on:** May 23, 2015, 08:48:24 AM »

Finished!!

I'll have to come up with a time and place of service later!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #74 on:** May 24, 2015, 09:40:30 PM »

Wow did that ever finish up a treat!

You have absolutely mad camo skillz, Mr Tomcat!

Love this one like a leggy girl in a mini-skirt!

Talk about hawt!
