Blackfordhibby Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Tony Everytime another of your Tomcats appear they manage to surpass the previous one. This has to be my favourite so far, love the "dull gull" analogy. Pretty much prefer the plain Jane look, and this fits the bill in its entirety. The finish with the weathering is the dogs dangly bits, you can be justifyibly proud of the whole thing. I do like the list of aftermarket parts, that along with the extensive photos will allow an F14 novice (like me) which parts to pick and choose. Yeah I know "all of them". Interesting paint choice in my book as i've never tried any of those before, more food for thought. Thanks again Tony for the time and trouble that you've taken over the whole of your Tomcat collection. I always manage to find something new with each one.

whiskey Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 You're probably correct regarding the color misinformation from the decals. Still have done a nice job with it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Wow, that is awesome! I doubt that my builds could stand up to such close-up photography, like your work obviously can! Recently I've started to get a taste for building a 1/72 F-14. Most of the online talk seems to centre around the Hasegawa (later tooling) and Fine Molds kits, with a smattering of Fujimi. I don't recall big accolades for the Hobbyboss kit, but your skills certainly make it look a gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 That's a thing of beauty right enough. The details you have captured could easily have people think this is 1/48 or larger. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @whiskey , seen that photo of 206, similar scheme but obviously an earlier rendition with colour in the squadron insignia and the large colour star and bars. BuNo is not legible nor quoted so may not even be the same jet as they could change from year to year. However this picture, even though it cannot confirm nor deny the superscale sheet shows jets close enough that it convinced me to give it a go- Picture from Seaforces.org. Shows 3 tps and 2 dull gulls all with the same markings. Note small black insignia on gulls, modex numbers look like they are 204 & this 206 in the centre. TPS are 211, 212 and the left one is illegible? Picture dated 1988. Cheers, Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
