F-14A Tomcat from JSI in 1/18 - reworking the big beast


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! :smile:

 

As a big Tomcat-Fan I couldn't leave the biggest model of my favourite plane as it was. Although I didn't get a "spotted cat" from JSI, the paint job was horrible. So I decided to repaint the big beast completely. Therefore I needed to mask the prints of the "Jolly Rogers"-Markings (no replacements in this big scale). Some areas needed a lot of sanding (engraved JSI-markings on the underside of the wings) and so on... But look for yourself! Hope you enjoy my pics! :D

 

This model is BIG - a 1:18 car for size comparison

Test-painting the wing with the airbrush (the colour is a mix of Gunze H315 and white, to match the JSI grey exactly)
