  1. While Im doing that any chance of the 2 Ladies together?

    Erm the F4 is already over at My m8's placeso i will have to take a shot when I deliver the 14.

    Colin,

    TBH I wasnt sure of that one. The reference I used doesnt show the tail tops as yellow but loads of other images ive seen show em as painted!

    Ill keep em as black, see if he notices!

    POO!!!!! just found a piccy of 201 on the 84 Nimitz cruise and you guessed it !

  2. Following hot on the heels of this

    is another VF 84 bird built for my Jolly Rogers fan m8 who had this Tamiya F14 sat in his cupboard for quite a number of years.

    Not quite finished yet. I have to add the seats and put the odd one or two touches to it, This is my first foray into pre shading. Dunno If Ive over done it?

    Anyhow Tamiya ! 32 Original release F14 (1984) and Cam Pro VF 84 decals, and one of the last Black Box Resin cockpit sets Enjoy

  3. Ive got some phots of a couple of F3's that were on QRA at Conningsby last january.. Not a refuelling probe in sight!

    Both had the larger Hindenburger tanks fitted.

    I will stick em in the F3 phots section of the group build if anyone wants!

  4. Pharty are you doing the flightpath set too?

    We will have to compare notes, and you can laugh at me when i put all the bits on upside down cos i can't understand the instructions!

    I promise not to step on your toes mate! :innocent:

    Mate you won,t be stepping on my toes at all. I am using the flightpath set including the seats with all the etched stuff which i confess i have already started!

    The instructions as you say take a bit of understanding but once you have a picture in your head as to how it goes, it all falls together. (ish)

    Having compared your tigermeet and my effort, I sir, will be prostrating myself.

  5. Cheers for that guidance M8, very useful.

    I did find, somewhere out there, an extremely brief review of the Revell kit http://www.gustafsen.nu/English/US-jet.htm. hence the question as to wether the Revell offering was different

    As far as mods go I was looking at detailing the bomb bay a little as it appears that the 1:1 has a central spar dividing the bomb bay into effectively two seperate smaller bays. Also I was opting more for an anthracite grey as opposed to pure black in an effort to induce a little bleaching etc.

  6. Am I right in saying that the moulds forthis have passed from Revell to italieri then to Testors or are they different.

    Looking at the contents it doesnt seem to be an awe inspiring build, just to say that I think it is something completely different.

    There is soo little in the way of kit reviews / build threads to go on and without accurate plans im not sure as to exactly what corrections to make in order for this to be "acceptable".

    anyhow the kit dates from 1990 and I suppose suffers from an elemnt of antiqueness in the representation.

  7. Ok Ok Ive gone and done something REALLY Stoopid!

    Iv'e just weakened and bought a 1/32 Revell F117 Nighthawk 1990 vintage!

    Reasons I thought that because 08 is the F117's last year of flight I must build sommat that pays a small tribute to it BUT looking at the kit coontents its not exactly going to be taxing but hey ho its something different I suppose!

  8. Well its a 1/32 Op Telic bird for me ZG 714, Truffle Snufflers. Paragon Flaps and flightpath set.

    Not having done one of these before Im looking forward to it.

    As a matter of interest, i took loads of Phots at Fairford Last Thursday and as a result i have quite a few shots of the GR4's including a couple of a 617 GR4a with its probe and air brakes deployed as it passed me.

    Ill post in the sticky if anyones interested.
