These are some of my builds for 2016. I have several missing that somehow I deleted the pictures, some being commissions.

Thanks for the kind words gents.
Tojo
The Tomcat is 1/48 Hasegawa with aftermarket decals for 'Wichita' 103 during the Gulf War. It's a very nice kit but a bit fiddly specially the intakes and joining the front fuselage part to the rear one.
I believe by this time the missiles were grey but it was a commission and he wanted them in white.

About the F-4s which I like very much along with the Tomcat:
The weathering is a combination of marbling/black basing, artist oils for streaks and Flory Washes.
The Sundownner is 1/48 Academy and was a joy to build. The decals were awesome (over 300 between stencils and markings). Detail and fit AAA+++.
Showtime 100 was Hasegawa 1/48 with a Hasegawa weapons and kit decals. Not a bad kit.
The Death Angels and Jolly Roger Js are old 1/48 Monograms with aftermarket decals. Weapons are a mix of Academy and Hasegawa. These are very old molds but they do build up to very good F-4's. The FOD covers were scratched out from those junk plastic cards we get in the mail. They were the right thickness and as an added bonus were free.
