Anyone who wants a try at something different should try one of these kits, theyre excellent (and really addictive!) any way here are the pics,which ill have to put in 2 posts as theres quite a few, cheers mateys tony[ATTACH]16462.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16461.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16460.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16458.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16464.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16463.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16465.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16459.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16457.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]16466.vB[/ATTACH]oops ,what happened to the picture placement!!

What a stunning little model Tony!!!!! OK, the concept is something that if you told me about it over the phone, I would be advising you to smoke something else...... But there are the pictures, the cat crew!!!! the box art with the scenic additions that you can put behind the base... But most of all what a stunning Wildcat and what a great base. Come on Tamiya, what about doing this sort of thing in 1:48 (without the cats though....)

Absolutely amazing.

Cheers graham, i really enjoyed this one,even though most of it was done through the magnifying light, the detail would put many a 1/48 kit to shame too. cheers tony

I thought you had seriously lost the plot Tony, then having looked at the photos...

WOW seing the Aircraft next to the pound coin, sort f put things in perspective! That thing Is TINY, and the cats!!! You must have a very good eye glass and a hand as steady as a rock!

Hats off that is just class! Cats and all. (well their cute).

thanks ian, yeah theyre cute arent they, i think ill have to get another one,i know they do a boxing of this kit as a RN martlet c/w crew and base again so i might have to look for that, cheers tony

[Guest]

Had to have a search myself, this guy has a few Tony including the RN version of yours. Some nice aircraft too. The Hurricane looks good and you get two kits in the box on the Hurry and some others.

That's wonderful work Tony! I couldn't get that much detail into 1/72 - let alone this scale!

B****y marvellous.

Excellent work.
