Excellent use of that Tomcat cockpit... What a great idea!

Is it a contradiction to say I want to think uniquely, just like you?  :lol:

The second pic from the TTA in the original post looks like a Ultrahawk kit (available in various scales) - another potential donor/vistem  :thumbsup:

Many thanks to all y'all :wub: This is more scratch building than I have ever done. But it is going pretty well so far. I have been meaning to do this one for a long time but I knew it would be a formidable project. It's already got parts from 4 kits and basswood which I have never used before. :blink: :wub:
Oh yeah and 2 entire sticks of epoxy putty. :o
I amuse me.

If it was anyone else I might worry  :thumbsup: Instead, I'm just psyched to see the results   :wacko:

Love those books, I have all three (That I know about).  And the ship looks amazing so far.  You really captured the lines beautifully.  :thumbsup:

The space wrecks book goes for silly money these days. Hence why its the only one of the set I havent got. Ive also got a few of the spin offs.
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.
