Hardtarget Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Next up the academy f14a She sill probably be made up as a bird of VF-114 from 1988 gulf operations. New aeroclub GRU-7 bang seats having their coat of anthracite. Also fabricated some pull handles from wire. Fuselage and wings cemented together. Internals sprayed DSG and the adding of some weight. Detailing of the pit once the seats are painted. Intakes and wheel wells spraye white. Progress on the fuselage and assembly of the burners. And how she stands as of last night.

Hardtarget Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Some small progress on the cat since last time. She is now on her U/C, added weapons pylons, and just this minute painted the burner cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Glad to see this one is progressing too ! Looks like it could be finished soon. You have done a much better job on the academy kit than I did on my attempt last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 LMAO!!...tell me about it! so far I've managed to get the weathering on the wing sweep the wrong way round, a gear door or two either upside down or on the wrong side and one or two other little boo-boo's of a similar nature.... all adds to the fun (yeah right) of Tomcat building....
