Hello,

 

Here's my 1/48 Tamiya F-14A. Great kit, but I'm sure that's well known by now. I used FCM decals to do it as Tarbox 210 from VF-33 in 1986. I did use nationality markings from a Furball sheet, as FCM gives you full colour ones, which isn't right. Other aftermarket includes chin pod and gun vents from Phasehangar, tail stiffeners from Crossdelta and missile markings from TwoBobs. Painted with MRP, Tamiya, Vallejo and Alclad.

I really like your model and the level of detail.. Like Jackson says: the phoenix missiles are a prime example..

What a stunner! Looks great in this variation of the Starfighters/ Tarsiers colour scheme. How did you find the FCM decals? Mine were a nightmare when I used them on the Italeri cat earlier this year 🙁

Very impressive work. The little bit of color on the tail adds something to the overall build.

Thanks guys!

 

@Jackson Duvalier I've read somewhere that the AIM-54 noses were actually ceramic. Sometimes they would shatter when dropped accidentally, and the shards were quickly collected by the deck crew to be used as sharpening tools for knifes and such.

 

@binbrook87 I didn't have much trouble with the FCM decals. One of the tail markings did tear when I tried to put it in its position, but I got the pieces to match up again.

Great work you've done with this. I'm also impressed you did so well with the FCM decals; I did the other black & yellow scheme a while back & had an absolute 'mare with them. Top job all round 👏

Lovely work, Pete!

Tamiya Tomcats are like potato chips. You can't eat just one.

Great to see one not painted up as patchwork quilt👋, it actually looks way better and more realistic for it.
