Here are a
bunch of Jolly Rogers tomcats. All but one is a 1/48 Hasegawa Tomcat,
either a A or a B model. The second photo is the only exception. Second
photo being the BIG one down below)
That one is a
Tamiya 1/32 scale Tomcat built COMPLETELY out of the box including kit
decals.
The first
photo (above), was just finished for the Gulf war group build. It is the
standard issue Hasegawa Atlantic fleet boxing,
the only add ons were tape
seat belts. And of course the in-flight display stand brought to you by
Canadian tire.
The display
stand is actually a product which is supposed to be used to ripen bananas.
The reason it was built wheels up is simple. I mailed the original wheel
assembly to Alabama. So now I had an excuse to do an in-flight model. It
was not all that hard, easier then I excepted really. The decals are the
VERY hard to find Superscale 48-438.

Photos 3 and 4
are the final cruise paint schemes and both decals are from VF decals. The
intake covers are both from steel beach and the exhaust covers are both
tin foil painted in the right colour.
Photo 5 uses
Yellow hammer markings from around 2001. Photo 6 is Hasegawa including the
Santa decals out of the box.
Photo 7 uses a
Verlindin detail set, and superscale decals. This was my first
"advanced modeller syndrome" build, its around 10 or 12 years
old now.
Photo 8 was
built a year or two ago for the first Tomcat group build. Using VF decals.
Photo 9 uses the VERY hard to find Aero Master CVW-8 set. (BTW if anyone
has the VS-24 Viking sheet your not using please PM me)
10 is obviously not
a Tomcat, its the Tamiya Corsair, OOB including the decals.
11 is a Monogram
Crusader using superscale decals from WAY back.
12 is a PHANTOM, I
have a few VF-84 Phantoms, but this is the best one. I THINK the decals were
Yellow hammer.
13 is the
replacement. The un(der) loved son. The Hasegawa Super Hornet, It is using a
combination of Hobbydecal dry stencils and kit decals.
