Fantastic result Daniel!
I think you should sent those photos to AMK - still not enough finished builds of this kit are out there yet😉

Beside the awesome build i really like that „Turkey" presentation!
Stunning build!
Great job mate!

I guess when this Tomcat lands, it will casually pull out & light up a cigar while slowly rolling to parking position, uttering a few action-hero one-liners to the crowd on deck, who will just keep nodding respectfully... Like a western hero, puffing out the smoke of the gun, enemies down in the dust & a few bullets/ordnance still left in the barrel...😉 😄

The AMK box is not small and filled under pressure so that after opening, you are never going to fit the contents back in again - (I´ve seen it, but made the deeply rational decision of not purchasing it... yet 🙂 ) but I guess you managed to use every part of it - if anything more would be open/extended/added in-flight, it would not be in-flight anymore... 😄

Stylish finish, I dropped most of my specific lines of admiration in the build thread already - so just rest absolutely assured it´s a really really cool one & enjoy the view! 👍

Many many thanks for your kind comments&likes, it really is an honour and much appreciated!! 👍
I always envisioned to do one of these battle proven VF-2 super tomcats, so this box is checked now 🙂 The topic+kit material was both very inspiring and challenging at the same time and I am very happy with how this turned out. Also happy to share it here and maybe pass on some inspiration, looking forward to seeing some more of these kits being build here 🙂

Zhou, thank you very much, means a lot coming from an AMK-build-bro 🙂
For a lot of steps I looked up your take on it, so thx for the inspiration!

Would you mind if I share your work on my Instagram post? I would credit you and put a link onto your scalemate album

I was scrolling down the page and happened to stop just where the forward section of the cockpit was showing and I thought it was a real in flight photo of a Cat, then I scrolled down further and my jaw just dropped.👍👍👍

Daniel
Spanjaard, many thanks

Zhou, no problemo, since I am not active on the insta i am more than happy+honoured if you'd like to show some stuff over there for me 🙂 If you need an original pic send a pm 🙂

Michael, thanks a lot for your kind words, achieving a realistic appearance is the biggest praise one can get, thx 👍

A beautiful job. I have the kit but not sure that I will ever be able to dedicate the level of effort it demands.
Any in progress reports? I too like to put my aircraft on popsicle sticks and would like to know how you were able to secure a relatively heavy build so far off it's (presumed) center of gravity.

Daniel
Andrew, thank you very much! For me this was a subject that really kept me going, the kit does not put too many obstacles in your way as well. But see for yourself:

Bullet 106 - WIP | Album by halohead (1:48)

On the CG part it helped that I put a lot of lead in the rear quarter as I wanted a wheels on deck tail sitter first. other than that it is really just a thin tube with a canted tip put through the sparrow fin opening as the idea to keep it flying came pretty last minute. But - works 🙂

And for a more professional way to put things on spikes I recommend a look at Zhou's work, eg pic 13 here
