STAYHOME
With the lockdown keeping us all confined to our homes giving us way too much spare time I decided to release the instructions of the Tomcat I built a couple of years ago. At nearly 4000 pieces and with a myriad of functions it is a build that will keep you occupied for quite some time I hope. You can buy the instructions in my webshop. When you have two sets of 42066 you’ll have about half of the pieces needed to build this model.
I wrote a longer article on all the functions here, but here is a short summary of the functionality:
— Motorized landing gear
— Motorized landing gear bay doors
— Motorized Gatling gun
— Motorized onboard pneumatic pump
— Motorized swing wings
— Motorized cockpit canopy
— Pneumatic arrester hook
— Pneumatic air brakes in the wing and on the fuselage
— Pneumatic leading edge slats
— Pneumatic intake bleed doors
— Pneumatic delta wings
— Pneumatic switch to choose between the inboard pneumatic pump and the of board manual pneumatic pump
— Manual joystick that is connected to the control surfaces
— Differentially operating elevons
— Both rudders
— Manual ejection system. This will eject the canopy and the two chairs
Stay home, stay safe.
