I don't know which kit was used, but I do know the builder used a 3d printer to make a bunch of custom parts.

Looks like the Academy kit. Thought there was a pile of aftermarket stuff but ya printed would do it. Those are not kit seats and don't look much like resin and the boarding steps look better as well.

Those seats look pretty darn good. I had replaced the Tamiya ejection seats with resin ones from Verlinden:

It's kind of odd as it is rare to see a simple paint job on a Tomcat without all the shading work and washes done. Makes it hard to see the panel lining.

I was actually guessing it was the Tamiya 1/32 kit (www.doozymodelworks.com/works/o_5/o5.html)

Since I last posted in this thread, I modded this S207 by Sunstar. Added some Advan GT wheels, Voltex wing, made a non-aggressive Verus diffuser and APR carbon front brake ducts, engine and interior detailing, etc etc.

I'm a Zoids fan and love Kotobukiya's HMM line. Picked up the "Sturm Tyrann". Got the main body put together, just waiting on my black accent liner before I put the armor bits on.

So a model is worth 10,000,000 words.
Of course not all models are created equal.
