Tomcat's 1/48 ICM Arctic Cobra

[Tomcat64]

So... final greeblies added & painted up and a little tidying was all that was needed to get this one over the line.

Aside from some of the lights being teeny tiny bits of clear styrene there was nothing too challenging




And that's us done for this one - I'll break out the grown up camera for some reveal shots at some stage to make it official

This was a really enjoyable build and I'm definitely considering picking up at least one more in another scheme as a contrast.

Thanks as always to everyone that stopped by & looked and commented

That is awesome!!!


You are a braver man than I, always freak at the full on wash…but that came out so well

There's really nothing to fear. A clay wash is just water and a bit of coloring. No matter how horrible the kit looks when the wash is put on, you should be able to wipe it off to the extent the surfaces of the kit look pristine and the only effect is on the panel lines. Its up to you whether you use the wash to discolor the paintwork or not.

Its almost counter-intuitive, but the lighter the paintwork, the better the effect.

Cracking finish to a very nice build, speedy one too

Thanks folks - really appreciate it & have to say I'm happy with how this one turned out

You wouldn't enjoy it - the parts fit, there's nothing missing & the decals all work fine unless you're an idiot like me

And the reveal is now up here
