A pair of kittens **Updated final photos**

[FortyEighter]

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

Good plan

[FortyEighter]

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.

[Col.]

You have been going at these two Enzo-style Keep the updates coming before they are finished!

[FortyEighter]

Most of the painting is now finished:

 

Gloss, decals and weapons next.

 

[Col.]

Both cats are looking cool in their main colours.

[Roberto]

Nice painting!

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:

These two do look great together. Well done Mike.

I was half expecting to see a T-6 painted up as a Zero in those pics.  

 

Nice builds.

[Roberto]

Very nice builds, bravo!

Cracking job Mike, they look fantastic posed in flight.
