AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks guys, done a bit of post shading this afternoon and put a coat off clear over her ready for decaling. Been having big problems with both compressors this afternoon building up lots of moisture in the water traps. Can't dissemble the new one as I don't have tools up to doing it.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 A bit more done, tails on, port decals done, started on the wheels and things. The canopy is just bluetacked in place for the pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 A bird I have yet to build! The mottled effect in that top shot looks very effective. Interesting split of jobs. Paint and decal tails before sticking them on. I wouldn't have thought of that myself. It is a function of the kit ,or the aircraft or is it Mish's top tip for Tomcats? cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thanks Grant, it's the first Tomcat I've ever built and so far she is turning out to be my best build. I'm afraid I can't lay claim to the sequence of the build. I'm copying the wonderful Mr Phil Flory of Promodeller fame. Last year he did a great F-14 build and now it's available on DVD. It has been invaluable for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 A disastrous morning, tweezerpaulted sever bits of plastic and PE to the carpet monster and only managed to rescue a couple of pieces. the rest I have scratched together and used odds from the spares box, I hate this part of the build just doing all the fiddly finishing touches.

AnonymousDFB1 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well apart from a couple of small decals, a small amount of touching up and a final coat of Klear/Future I'm declaring her done. Final photos as soon as I'm entirely happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
