Hockeyboy76 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) I have in the stash a Revell F14A and F14D in lovely 144 scale. I plan to build them both together and come up with some sort of suitable display for them. Photos to follow.

gingerbob Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 For a WWI biplane (unless it is a Vimy or something), 1/48 isn't giant enough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 very nice kits, both of them, when these are the later releases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Tomcats! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 A little progress on little Tomcats today, white areas painted in White primer, intake trunking has been glued to the lower fuse. So I’m thinking of a Tomcat break as a display, but I have no crew. They may have to magic fly or could claim it’s a museum display. Was also thinking about the A with everything down so having to cut flaps and slats, with the D breaking above with wings folded. Need to make a decision soon as the wings need to be fitted soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Some progress on the “D cat”, cockpit painted grey and decals added. Good enough for 144 scale Upper and lower fuse halves joined, wings can still swing, but the plan has always been swept on the D. Twin tails are drying under Appliance White, ready for masking the red tips and painting the rest Tamiya gloss black. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Looking good buddy. I haven't built a 1/144 Tomcat for a long while, I have some Iranian AF decals somewhere and watching your build has me thinking that it is time for another look. Maybe in the New Year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Very clean Tomcat Ready for some gloss and the decals. I suppose I should really catch up with the “A-cat” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I really like what you have done here. I have the 1/144 Tomcat D in the stash. I was going to build a desk top in-flight model but I can't overlook the lack of crew. Does anyone do a crew for this aircraft?

Thanks dude, It’s hard to find 144 scale aircrew, although If you buy Pit Roads TSR2 you do get some blobs that look like crew. @nimrod54 used n gauage railway figures painted up. I’m going with inflight without crew. Almost as good as the Airfix crew who can fly with their hands stuck on their knees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have adapted N gauge seated railway figures from the Noch and Preiser ranges. There are these on the Shapeways site, Fox One do a set of eight, and Ozmods have both standing and seated pilots including some USA.

Hockeyboy76 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Decals are close to being finished, just need to paint the missiles and tanks, then decal them. Thinking about not building the A-cat now, instead coming up with a suitable flight display for the D. On the plus I have found some 144 crew.
