Hello, I am keen on building one of these Tamiya Tomcats, but I am torn with the paint scheme. I like the weathering opportunities offered by the later, ghost grey f-14s, which get nice and dirty, probably on account of the matt paint. But I prefer the earlier high vis color schemes in gull grey with the white control surfaces. Since these were painted glossy, they likely wouldn't get as dirty, and despite looking a lot, I can't find a single example of an early, hi-viz f-14 with the heavy weathering found on the later planes, which is a bummer, because that's what I want to do. Does anyone have such an image? Or would these early tomcats simply not get that weathered? I would commit a weathering crime.

I was digging through my stash looking for my next build, thinking I would tackle the Academy F-4C that was winking at me (who can resist the Camo?), when this leapt out at me. Now the only thing I can resist less than a Phantom in SEA Camo is a Tomcat... This will be very much out of the box as I am feeling poor at the moment. Mind you, the level of detail is pretty good (the cockpit is exquisite) and I love the Grim Reapers scheme. Anytime Baby!
