Pierpaolo Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 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 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 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. Todd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierpaolo Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Lovely restoration job. The red on the LE slats and the tails stands out nicely against the light gull gray finish - well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
