Dermo245 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Love it...awesome work on that! Never knew that about the slats/flaps on the ground...saves much conversion work. Dermot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew that about the slats/flaps on the ground...saves much conversion work. Dermot Yeah, I suppose it does. I guess then from a realism point of view all these builds with the canopies open, ladder down with no pilots in and the wings forward with flaps and slats dropped is a lesser seen setup. But its artistic license I guess as you do see the odd pic of them like that. ps glad you like the model 👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Beautiful job on that Tony, I do still prefer the early Phantom schemes for the Diamond backs but it isn't your fault they went all boring later on, it's still a stunna. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngstROM Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Very feline, very snakey, very wonderful! I harvested a mess of VF-102 F-14B pics off the internets for a similar project, and this definitely nails the look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Another stunning build and another stunning 'Cat. Love the picture from the font angled aspect looking straight down the intake - very nicely done. Thanks for passing on the tips regarding the launch setup - have you built the Italeri Carrier Deck at all, would be perfect for these builds. Do you sleep at all...?? So much top quality work coming from you!! Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks pal 👍🏿 Not seen the deck section, will have a look cheers. Here are some pre launch cats in this modelled setup as above: http://www.anft.net/vf-11/cvw14-11.html https://photovalet.com/85586 https://photovalet.com/85588 These type of photos are rare though... Photographers preferred the all out look at the point of launch obviously, dont we all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, I can't remember what book it's in...! However, that is another cracking model Tony, really very nicely finished with some lovely subtle weathering! Top job!
