JohnDid you make your own landing lights, or are those aftermarket?
Very nice build so far.

Sarunas DCongratulations! My kit is on the shelf of doom. I plan to re-scribe it at least partially, and add some weathering. Is it a 1/144 Tomcat besides?

Roy McKayNice and well done. I have a part started kit that I returned as much as possible to the beginning. Does the kit need rescribing or is it acceptable as is?

walarooROY: Most of the kit has recessed panel lines, including the wings, nose and vertical stabs. The fuselage aft of the cockpit is raised, but I was fine with it. The good news is that it mostly straight lines, so if you want to do a little rescribing, I don't think it would be too hard.

Ever since I saw this kit when it first came out in the early 80s, it has been on my bucket list. A while a go during a regular visit to my local hobby shop, an original issue was on his resale pile. With the price on $60 including the Black Box resin cockpit, it was an easy sale...
