attman007 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I will be building the Hobbyboss 1/48 F-14D OOB and in the markings of VF-101 Grim Reapers.... I'm not going to be correcting any of the kits flaws as it looks like a Tomcat to me! Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not seen a build if one of these so it'll be interesting to see how you get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it is easier than Hasegawa Tomcat as I found that to be an absolute pig to build, so much so It is half built on the shelf of doom!

c.smith10 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think this will go together much better than the hasegawa kit but I hope you can live with the kit ruining intake error! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The old Hasegawa kits aren't that bad...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attman007 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 First of all apologies for not being very active over the first few weeks of this group build, It was my final exams at uni! Well exams are over so its time for some modelling.... Made some good progress on the Tomcat this weekend.... So far the kits has just fallen together and is almost ready for paint!

Parabat Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wow, that looks gooood! Nice work on the bays, the Vulcan looks far better than the Hasegawa offering. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorboy61 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unusual colours for the pit paintwork compared to what we usually see, what have you used or is it just a trick of the light? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I think it is probably a combination of the lighting and photos taken with my camera phone! The colours are mostly grey (all be it a little too light) and black with white dials and switches... nothing too out of the ordinary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
