tc2324 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 An F-14A from Fleet Squadron VF-111 `Sundowners` fires an live AIM-54 Phoenix during a practice sortie somewhere in the Pacific. Academy kit, 1/72 scale and Ocean base from Coastal Kits. Thanks for looking. 52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question: What did you use to attach the cotton wool to the rod — PVA? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old fashioned super glue, beware, it gets messy. Once a `base` coat of wool is firmly attached you can then add `puffs` of wool and build it up. A final spray of hair spray to firm it up and then a very very light grey spray to dull down the white a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
