Description
This is the Hobbycraft 1/72 Tomcat that I have been working on over the last month or so. My goal with this kit was to try and make a old crappy kit good. There are still quite a few flaws when you look closely at it and I don't think the decals provided with the kit are very accurate, they are printed very poorly also. Almost every joint had to be filled which made for quite a long process between gluing it together and painting. The kit has mostly all raised detail little to no cockpit detail. Also you can probably see a bunch of dust on the inside of the canopy, this is from when I filled around the canopy I did realize when I was sanding it that the dust was going into the cockpit.
Hobbycraft is a discontinued brand, but you can still find some of their kits floating around. They are pretty much hit or miss. I have built some okay kits by them and some really crappy ones like this one. I wouldn't recommend it!
Its easy to make a good kit bad, but its even harder to make a bad kit good.
