Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Here is my recently completed 1/48 Hasegawa F-14B Tomcat, in VF-32 'Swordsmen' colours. Build thread is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234911489

Enjoyed this one as it's a scheme i've wanted to do for a while and another F-14 is off the list!

Thanks folks, glad you like it.

Dave, thanks for the link. BN was in the our 240OCU hangar at RAF Odiham after the Falklands and it was in a very sad state then.

Great job and has they say, "Happiness is a big chopper"

Oh man hands down and hat off for that one. VF-32 F-14s rock. Only thing I have spotted on that is the demarcation between the bark grey and the light grey on the spine is in the wrong place. It should started where the skunk strip finishes on the spine before going forward and covering the remainder of the upper fuselage. Only noticing the difference between the real jet and the photo. Good effort though, well build and awesome scheme. :worthy::clap2:
