alxzinbox Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hey all, A quick post of these two lovely little models I had a lot of fun building Trumpeter's 1/144th F-14D and Revell's 1/144th F-18D. Trumpeter's 1/144th kits are an absolute blast to build- low part count, perfect fit, excellent level of detail for the scale, and stress free. The perfect antidote for taking a refreshing break from your other high maintanence builds. I used the lo-vis Tomcatters scheme from the F-14D kit on the F-18D, despite the VF-31 not having the Hornet (they currently have the F/A-18E). Also for the eagle-eyes, the wing-tip rails are not accurate on the F-18 as I broke the original off. Painted using Vallejo Model Air, and weathered with oils. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Awesome! You would think they were 1/72nd or larger. 👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'm doing good to assemble in that scale and you paint and weather! Wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Amazing, can't believe they're 1/144! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Lovely stuff! 1/144 fighters etc. are vastly under rated as a build option. You can fine detail them too: Supermarine Scimitar 1/144 ejection seat (scratch built) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
