WHAT TOMCAT SCHEME SHOULD I DO NEXT??

Post by thatf14guy » Wed May 12, 2010 3:58 pm

okay guys, i just ordered another cat today. still haven't sold vf-111, but still like to go ahead and do one that hasn't been done by someone yet? so please cast your vote and help me to decide. i love to hear what you guys want, so i can produce it, or try to produce it. and to add vf-143 as well. i know some of you hate the jsi spotcat, but i plan on turning everyone that rolls through my home into a masterpiece. custom painted missiles, custom painted aircraft, but i don't know what to do next. SO HELP ME OUT!! :wink:

i also have these missile layouts if anyone wants to make their own decals for their missiles.

you will have to figure out the scale on your own printer and computer, i'll have to take some photos of my missiles when they are done for a placement guide.

if i go with wolfpack, i am gonna do this scheme as i am still learning to use my own decals and well it is harder than i thought. the last thing i want to try is that long stripe on the nose section, but we will see.

first custom tomcat missile, i used to white decal papre, i wanted to see if how bad the decals would crinkle, they did a little. so i will keep trying. if anyone has some advice i am open ears. like does clear decal paper work better than white, how to prevent crinkles, etc.

Great suggestion. A basic-looking paint scheme would be nice.
