  1. Does anyone know how much aftermarket has been produced for the newer Airfix 1/72 kits that could rhrn be adapted to the ESCI kit?
  2. Hi-viz F-14As with VF-1 and other squadrons benefitted from a very tough glossy paint, both lower white and upper light gull grey. It was resilient, didn’t fade (much if at all) and since it was gloss, grime didn’t accumulate or stain like you see models often portray. I believe they shifted to an overall light gull grey that was still glossy before going flat grey. You might see some light staining in places and small touch ups on panels but nothing like what you see on anything post 1981-ish to modern day.
  3. Looking great. I use a similar approach regarding panel lines and believe it provides a better representation. Looking forward to the next installment. BW
  4. Anyone not following is missing out on a master class lesson. Looking forward to the next post
  5. Any details on load, wing tanks and pylons in place? Am I correct in remembering that the 1/72 kit has one of the aircraft as an option?
  6. You are doing the kit justice with your build. The detailing out of the box makes it hard to justify the aftermarket available except for some of us fanatics, but even I am not sold. I didn’t encounter any difficulties and found it better than Tamiya on most counts. Pleaee post more and which scheme have you picked? With 10 more in the stash, I never tired of seeing others turn out a good F4F!
  7. Any chance of a wheels up in flight depiction? It was soooo close and looking good. That landing gear is tricky though
  8. Stunning craftsmanship. I can’t wait to see the air wing. What time frame will you be depicting?
  9. The first photo is an F4F-4 from VMF-223 at Guadalcanal written off in August 1942. The caption on azbiz is incorrect. No F4F-3s were deployed to Guadalcanal. The second pic is an F4F-3 of VMO-251 at Espiritu Santo in November or possibly December 1942.
  10. Anxiously awaiting your work on the somewhat elusive blue-grey. Have tried everything on the market and even made some mixes based on three relics I have viewed in person and it’s a tough color to match.
  11. Outstanding craftsmanship matched only by your painting skills
  12. This is Ike a person having the talent to paint something on par with the Mona Lisa and as they are showing it to you, they say “I was messing around in my spare time and made this
  13. Top tier construction, painting and finish. I can’t wait to see her finished. Have you started on her air wing yet?
