Łukasz GlińskiNice to see I'm not the only one building the old Tomcat kits. Keep it up 👍

AlbertoThanks Lukasz. The old kits are hard work but they make you feel better if you get a half decent result!

Oliver ZwienerFollowing - the passion for model making began with exactly this kit. My Tomcat hung under my ceiling until I was of legal age.

AlbertoThanks Oliver, I bought this kit when I was 12 and am building it almost 40 years later... about time!

TreehuggerSomehow I am reminded of the Airfix Vosper motor torpedo boat (export version afaik), a kit I remember my brother built when I was young, and I bought the kit myself as an adult some 30+ years later. An interesting modding project.

Oliver ZwienerI was born in 1968 and had the motivation to do something better than in childhood, if you are interested, have a look here : modellversium.de/gal..typ-1965-revell.html

AlbertoHi Oliver, that build looks fantastic... I go red in the face when showing my Tomcat. I like the comparison between the instructions. By the way, I was born in 1970 and still have a few of the old models pending to be built (you can check my stash and the models I've built, you might recognise a few)
