cool8or Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi guys! It's me again. Following the build of my Tanmen kits, there are my just finished aircrafts: The Cat's Eye, purchased to Grayson72 some time ago, and VF-4, a recast from Hobbyfan. I'm still waiting my Tamiya pigment sets, so no weathering yet in my kits, sorry (I purchase it almost 2 months ago)... But in the next builds I'll try to do a pre-shading, so desire me lucky... As always, any coment or sugestion is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 I put the VF-4 in a Hasegawa display, but I'm waiting a re-stock of 4" Flexidisplay from Lost & Found Toys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 WOW! Those both look absolutely fantastic! I think the VF-4 Looks good with the hasegawa stand but it would look better if the stand was painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jardann Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Great work on some awesome subjects! I like the clean look, especially on the Cat's Eye. I'm sure those wouldn't see as much wear and tear and would get extra maintenance attention as well. The only suggestion I have is to put a pilot in the VF-4! That baby is flying on autopilot right now! Looks great though. A couple of questions: How was the build process for the Cat's Eye? I've heard it has some challenges to get it together. What colors did you use for the radomes (the yellowish color) and what did you use for the exhaust areas? I like the way they look and might want to use them on some of my kits. Thanks for showing off these great kits and keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetarB Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Cool8or, these posts are one of the reasons I come to this forum, to see the coolest models built up. Thank you so much for sharing these great pics with us. The only thing I would say is that stand does not do the Vf-4 justice, but I note that it's only temporary. Beautiful work. And I am very jealous of that Cat's Eye, I've always wanted one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie addict Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I purchased to Grayson72 some time ago. Where are the panels that are you talking about? here's a pic of my VF-4, notice on the forward fuselage there are some panels... oh well, but still, that's one beautiful kit man, makes mine looks like a child did it, you're quickly making yourself a very rare and quality collection *envy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBhor Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Damn that VF-4 is awesome I dono if I missed it, but what brand of white did you use for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hola Cool8or. I have to say, I'm rather impressed; beautifully built models. I'm starting to become jealous for lack of time to build-up/paint my own models. Ah, who knows; maybe I'll tackle a Catseye at some point, it's a truly attractive aircraft, and I'm quite certain that I could do the design more justice than Tanmen.

His work is very nice, but so's yours from what I've seen here. If you're talking a bigger scale (oh PLEASE, be talking a bigger scale!) then I'd be up for one. It really is a beautiful plane.
