Chan LiTomcat isn't a plane that you can easily build and paint. Especially in 48th scale.
I have always been lazy to splice those pics together after a day's work, I should do it too…
Did I use the correct word "splice"?
I like your profile pic too, got some musical implications 😁

Neil AutorHi Chan Li, hope you're well thanks for commenting. Yes, hopefully I'll do a decent enough job! I'm using it as a build learning experience to be honest, first Cat I'll have made in 35+ years.
Yeah I just do it to cut down on the size of my albums, as aware my builds are all OOTB so don't wanna bore everyone too much! 😆 Yes, splice will do mate 👍
Yeap love the 80s tunes (before that was considered hip!)

Slavo HazuchaA Revell Tomcat - nice! 🙂 Joining the crowd here - some really interesting angles-in-development on doing a full-black finish - looking forward to see where this will lead and how you make it look good & interesting...

Petar ŽorićPicture 12 to 16 says it all, glad you documented how hard it can be to deal with this kit, but you've made amazing progress also 😄 Can't wait to see finished product 😄

Neil AutorHi Thomas and Slavo, thanks very much for your interest and commenting. 🙂 I am slowly moving forward with this build, currently on some general touch-ups here and there at the mo prior to a gloss coat and the decals. Hope to get some new images on here soon 👍

Neil AutorThanks Petar 👍 you're very kind. It's not a particularly accurate rendition anymore, but hopefully the overall effect will be pleasing enough, I'll be glad if it turns out as nice as your Tomcat mate 🙂 thanks for recent likes guys too.

Neil AutorNext album to be updated the Revell 'Black Tomcat'. This is another older build, I started it in 2021 and it's taken me awhile to get around to sorting out some final shots. I may well update these at a later date. I'm not sure about some of the backgrounds on the final images. Hopefully it gives you an idea of the finished result though 👍
The kit isn't the greatest fitting in a few places and I made several build and paint blunders, all of which I attempted to subsequently rectify, some more successfully than others. In the end it became one of those builds I was pleased to just finish. Hahaha! If nothing else, I learnt a lot about how to try and attain a respectable black finish featuring some kind of colour depth - I didn't completely succeed. But this one along with my F-117 and F-19 have all helped me understand how to try and hopefully get some 'flair' into a flat black finish.
If I were to build this kit again I'd likely just go for a straight gloss black as I think no weathering at all would suit the subject better. I apologise again to those who like realistic depictions, as always with my work, it has a basis in reality, but there are paint liberties taken here and there 😉 Anyways, another album closed off 🙂

Rui SOh well, another Beauty Mate.👍 Great work. I´ve heard that painting planes in black it's extremely difficult to attain great results 🤔 but you have the experience and nailed it 👍

Mr DNice model 👍 unusual to see a black version....was it for nigh time operations?
Really like the Design of the Tomcat, l Googled "best looking aircraft and the f14 , Starfighter and Su-30 were top of the search.
