FortyEighter Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 A pair of Revell 1/144 F-14A arrived yesterday, so the plan is to build them in flight as a wingman pair. The bags of bits 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyEighter Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 I've just realised that nothing has been posted about this pair (my bad!). One was built a while ago and a flurry of activity yesterday got the second almost there If there isn't an extension to the deadline they won't get finished in time, so let's hope @Enzo Matrix is feeling benevolent as Xmas approaches. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyEighter Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 In my rush to get these models into the Gallery before the deadline I didn't notice that I had forgotten to remove the canopy masks 😪 That has now been corrected and I also decided to add missiles for a training sortie, though getting the stripe decals to settle around the Sidewinders and Sparrows was a pain! It was always my intention to pose the pair flying over NAS Oceana but can't get a decent print from Google Earth; so here are some taken in flight by the Squadron's official photographer: Mike 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I was half expecting to see a T-6 painted up as a Zero in those pics. Nice builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
