Col. Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just two. So far. There's still plenty time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two will be fine, as you well know I have quite a considerable WIP at the moment which I want to take down to single figures sooner than later. Two F16s, Two Phantoms and Two tomcats are just plenty Speaking of which I am pretty pleased with how the F16 are turning out.

Marklo Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 After a bit of research on the internet I think one of the two might be getting this. Just need to confirm if it’s a real scheme or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Search for F-14 Ferris scheme. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Excellent one black and one Ferris scheme I think. Now I’ve just noticed that the black scheme has tail markings that will be even more contentious than swastikas; Playboy bunnies, so that’s not going to happen. There is a second kit option of a white/gull gray navy scheme but I think it’s a bit dull. I am however taken with some of the aggressor schemes, so maybe one of those or a Middle Eastern camo for the second one.

Marklo Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Two noses assembled, complete with lead shot, just in case. The academy one had no interior so I’ve scratched a basic cockpit, now I just have to scratch some tiny ejector seats. I may cheat and take a mold from the Revell ones and resin cast a pair from it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Started back in these. Owing to the swing wings I’m planning on painting them before full assembly, so the next step will be as much assembly as possible followed by primer and camo then final assembly and touch up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfa1983 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Well done Marklo they are coming along nicely. It always astounds me how people can build jets in 144. My fingers are too big and fat to make anything but a lump of plastic and glue in this size! And that's even before you talk about painting! I guess the good thing is you can easily build two in the time it takes someone to build a larger scale version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 That’s the Ferris done and grey on the Aggressor. Blue next then it’s assembly and decals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 That’s the camo finished on both. If I can get the tailpipes, undercarriage and decals on I should be able to scrape in by the GB deadline 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
