Beggsy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Well, I wasn't planning to be here (much as I love the F-14). I went online a couple of weeks ago to buy an F-14 in preparation/hope for the What If group build next year (if it passes the bunfight). However, in a little bit of fat-fingered clumsiness I put two in the shopping cart. There was enough other stuff in the order that the price looked about right and I didn't notice until they turned up together in the box! So now, I've got a spare one of these and there's a group build on so I may as well try and throw it together! This will be entirely OOB except for maybe a masking set. No fancy resin or scratch building this time! So without further ado, I got the first parts off the sprue: One evening and a lunchtime decal session later (the joys of working from home), we have this: So far, I've been impressed by the detail in the kit, but a bit suprised by the number of raised ejector pin marks I've had to remove from mating surfaces. Nothing to challenging thankfully. Now on with assembling the main body! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 This one's going well for you and as a kit to do OOB it's certainly a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Doing this one also. Really nice kit to put together. Looking good in the 'pit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceAddict Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'll be following along... I've got this kit in my stash (albeit with a set of VF-1 decals to lay down instead) and cannot wait to get into it, just unfortunately not in time for this GB.
