Karlo Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Okey guys i need to open my soul here ! Somehow i like idea of just ''regular'' tomcat. Gray shceme with a bit of Black and few detail. But on this scale 1/72 somehow when you look at model you more notice is it colorful or not. Most friends when entering my house throw eyes on models and always pick up my SU-27 because it has so nice blue colors that just stick and they look so nice. So , as tomcat is my favorit aircraft, i would also like to make him colorful to stick out. Some how i like desert colors but i am also maybe thinking of some jungle green camo with a Black parts and a bit of red details would be amazing. Like that colors just brings each other color out. So if anyone could give me some good jungle camo links on aircraft and what colors to combine i would be really greatful ! Sorry for my mistake English and hope to get your feedback soon, so i could buy colors soon, because shop ain't working on saturday ! Thank you !

Karlo Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hello there ! After long time of exploring and doing some Research i finaly made one paint scheme ! It will be fun to do it with a brush ! As you can see i will use 3 tones of green and for a belly (bottom side ) i will use light blue gray. It is purpose of a camo. Hiding in jungle when looking from above and melting with sky when in the air. I hope you like this one as i do. Also i came up with a story for this ''what if'' model. Any feedback is welcome. Don't mind dark green on a side it will be better blended in when model is in proggres. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind dark green on a side it will be better blended in when model is in proggres. Interesting colour scheme. My personal preference has always been to stick to "historical" colour schemes based off of actual models. I am not aware if the F-14 every sported a green colour scheme, however, as this is a 'what if' version I could see the possibility of F-14s being used from other platforms that carriers during the Cold War that merit a green camo. In the early 2000s, I believe some American navy schools painted F-14s in a scheme similar to the SU-27 for training purposes, if you wanted a historical paint scheme that has more colour than the typical American grey it may be interesting. Just my 2 cents, I'm sure whatever colour scheme you use, it will look great! Edit: Managed to find an F-14 that used a green scheme on this site (bottom of page 2). Not many references, but may give some inspiration, and gives you the plane's unit and serial number if you want to use them for the decals.

Thing is i have seen that splinter camo and some other more, but i work with thined acrylics and when i use anykind of duck type just gets under it, so i try to avoid such thinga. That is reason why i didn't go with that camo. Also you can find cool Iranian splinter camo on tomcat, but it is still immposible for me to do nice lines without masking. I tested some electrical duck type. It is good but sometimes it peals off the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Duct tape isn't really suitable for masking. Try Tamiya tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
