DaveJL Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Tamiya F-14A Tomcat in the markings of 'Ghostrider 114', the infamous mount of Maverick and Goose during their stint at the Naval Fighter Weapons School 'Top Gun' in 1986. The build thread is below. Extras used included Quinta cockpit set, Quickboost seats, Quickboost TCS with bullet fairing, Hasegawa ACMI pod, Tamiya etched mirrors and pitot tube along with Fightertown decals. Paint is from MRP with the heavy weathering coming from a mixture of paints, Abteiliung oils, Flory wash and Tamiya weathering sets. Thanks for looking and stay safe.

franky boy Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Very cool build Dave. Sorry if you’ve already said but where did the decals come from? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drake122 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 That's a beatiful model, but that's still a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Thanks all! @franky boy, the decals are from Fightertown's 'Best of the Best' (V2) sheet. Hard to find now but I'm led to believe it's being re-issued soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
