    revell 1/32 f-14a tomcat

    in Grumman Iron Works GB

    Posted

    ok so i have decided to build the f-14a tomcat i have and do it as the one from the movie top gun and i even have pilots to go with it. i know this kit is from 1986 so there isn't a lot of detail so i will be adding detail by any thing i can find so that means photo etch resin bits of wire and any thing else i can to make it it look real.

    OK so i got a very good deal on the accurate miniatures white box kit that has 2 kits in it so you can build a TBM-3 and a TBF-1c so my question with this i kit is which parts do i use and which ones do i not use because like on the clear parts tree there are 2 dashboards and as for the tbm-3 i want to build the flight lead in flight 19 so was that avenger a normal one or was it different like did it have the ads radar on the wing? and dose and body have any good pictures of the interior so i know what it should look like with all of those box's and wires like that are on the sides of the front fuselage?

    VF-143 Last Tomcat Cruise TPS ??

    wow i am glad i am not that bad but i think this guy should find pictures of the jets he is going to build from every angle like i do. then if i have a paint question i can look at a picture and see how it looks.

    now when it comes to the TPS color stick with the 3 grays and find the best ones that u can get where u are and remember with all of the weathering and touch ups some times u cant see the color and that really goes for the top of the jets

    chino super corsair

    in Bent Wing Group Build (Ended)

    Posted

    so I have a academy corsair in 1/48 now in stead of building it out of the box I want to build it as the super corsair that flew around RENO during the 80's now my 2 biggest questions are where do I cut to clip the wings. and dose ultra cast make a prop that I can use because the plane had a sky raider prop but I don't know where to get one.
