F-14A VF-31 - Hasegawa 1/72


Recommended Posts

Good Morning everyone

I had this Hasegawa Tomcat with the livery of the VF-41 (Fast Eagle 107 - Fujimi decal for Su-22 killer) made in 2001-2002 , ruined by the matt coat then abandoned to its fate ..

A couple of years ago I decided to remove the paint and repaint it better.

For a period I continued the restoration of this tomcat in parallel with the construction of another one

 

 

In these days of prohibition to leave the house I finally managed to finish the work

That looks great. Nice restoration job. I have got 2 of the Hasegawa F-14's in my stash from probably 15 years ago.  I really need to get started on at least one of them.

Thank You!

Attention to the decals, I had a lot of difficulties with these old Hasegawa sheets (both Vf-1 and VF-31)

And so you see that every disadvantage has a advantage also! This is a very nice Tomcat and a very successful restoration! 
 

keep safe out there and please keep modeling! 😉

Thank You

Isolation is hard but necessary , I live in northern Italy where the virus has hit hard.

Fortunately I have a large stock of models, I hope I don't run out of glue!

I know, we hear an update everyday on our news and it is really devistating! We think and pray for you every day! And you know what, when you run out of whatever what, just let me know by PM and if the mail service is still working in Italy I will send it to you! All the best and keep safe! 💪🏻

Thank You @ringo , You are very gently

For now we can still go out to buy basic necessities, supplies in stores are guaranteed (toilet paper too 🤭)
As for the glue, I checked and I should be okay (I try to play down a little)
