These 2 aircraft models were
built without any resin details or photoetch, the funny thing is that the Fujmi
model's decals are from a Hasegawa kit, and the Academy one's decals are from a
Fujimi kit!

There are seldom any
of Fujimi's 1/72 Tomcat models on ARC, I don't know if this kit is not easy to
find in other countries, or is it the price? In Hong Kong this kit is not
so expensive! The mold is good and all has enough details (although not as
much as the Hasegawa kit), but enough for 1/72, and it also has enough
missiles and the pilots, plus the 2 display type of engines are also
included. I think Academy's Tomcat is simply a Fujimi Tomcat less detail
only!
Both Tomcats I used Gunze
Sangyo Mr. color to paint, used their silver, clear blue, yellow, orange
and red for the nozzles, others follow the instruction, only the Fujimi has
used the copper wire for the landing gear. I used Humbrol enamel paint for
the rivet and used HB pencil for highlight, and airbrush for the weathering!
For the pictures I used a Samsung U-CA3 Dig. camera To take pic the micro
function is very good.
Hope you will like my Tomcat
Paolo
