trickyrich Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The start of my VF-31 "Tomcatters" obsession...... The seats & Can's were the only AM stuff, cockpit original, just painted. Plus this was my first outing with MRP paints. Is hard to see in photos, but amazingly, there are 25+ layers of paint on and around the wings and upper fuselage, with no noticeable lose of detail!! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_five_zero Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Here are my last two Tomcat builds: Tamiya 1:48 F-14D - Felix 112, VF-31 This had everything I could muster thrown at it - Eduard cockpit, Big 'Ed PE, Brassin GBU-38, Wheeliant Wheels, Master Pitot, Fightertown decals. (Aim-54 was subsequently removed - only after the build did I realise that the Phoenix was retired before VF-31's last cruise) AMK 1:48 F-14D - Bullet 100, VF-2 OOB except VF-2 decals stolen from Tamiya Kit. After building both kits, I had previously said that the only reason I would choose another AMK Tomcat over a Tamiya one was if I wanted a crouched Cat with lowered stabs/flaps. With the recent release of Tamiya's late Block F-14A in take-off pose, I'm not sure I would consider the AMK kit a worthy addition to the stash with Tamiya's offerings now.

Dermo245 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 So in 2014, I somehow convinced myself it would be a great idea to build nothing but F-14s that year...I think I must have banged my head! Andy Mullen very kindly made me a new avatar and off I went. The first two builds were great but then my interest really waned...the last two were hard going. Didn't stop me buying F-14 kits though I haven't built one since but will definitely do for this GB. Anyway, not sure if any of these are inspirational but I enjoyed them - all 1/72.

Navy Bird Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hasegawa 1:72 F-14D Hasegawa 1:72 F-14A (built way back when it first came out - early 80s I think): And also from the 80s, the 1:32 Revell F-14A with a lot of extra detailing (one of my first attempts) - unfortunately, I broke it. Oops. Somewhere I have photos of this prior to the crash. I'll try and dig those up. Cheers, Bill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
