Grumman F-14A Tomcat (Hasegawa 1/48)


Recommended Posts

Morning chaps. Just started this kitty, on the bench right now. I'm adding several aftermarkets: cockpit, wheel bays and nozzles from Aires, and Furball decal sheet.

Will try to apply an extensive weathering on the whole surface. More pics ASAP! Thanks.

I had some issues with my Aires cockpit and landing gear bay. They were almost 2mm smaller  than the place they were supposed to be.

 

This is the second time I have this problem with Aires resin. The other one was the engine of a F-15E (Revell).

 

And yes, they were suggested for Hasegawa and Revell.

 

Good to see that you didn´t have this problem.

 

Cheers,

Thx mates! Wolneygp, you're right. The Aires details are awesome but the fit is a rubbish. I've made a lot of work to achieve a nice fitting, but terrible.

These issues aren't new for me, so already to know it's the time to work...

 

A wee updated... wheel bays...
