daryl_five_zero Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Evening, all. I haven't finished a model since last December, so this is my first build of the year - something small to get me going again until I can decide what I want to build! It is Revell's nice little 1/144 F-14A, in what I'm sure many of you will agree is the quintessential F-14 scheme.Not much to say about the kit. It goes together well, and it looks like a little Big 'Cat. The decals were a little on the thick side, mind you. She's suffering from ghost pilot syndrome too. In my defence, it's a little difficult to readily find little men in 1/144. There are some bits I am happy with. Some not so much. I'm still not sure about the smoke trail from the AIM-9 - although it is the first time trying something like this. I still need to learn how to photograph models, too. Comments & criticism welcomed as always, and I hope you like it!Daryl. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eng Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Agree with the comment above, this is tremendous for a 1/144 build, and I think the Winder smoke trail is actually very effective. Thumbs up here! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Strasser Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That's the way I like seeing a kit presentation. Have one similar in 1/32 with rocket firing also and its the first one people comment on. Great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Outstanding model in such a small scale. Top mark for imagination as far as the missile is concerned, and for a first try, it's definitely excellent! Where I disagree with you is the colour scheme: I'm a sucker for grey over white USN birds with lots of flashy colours! When nobody could give a toss about meaningful camouflage! Super result nonetheless! JR PS: Just look upon your pilotless F-14 as what a drone could have been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
