I used Reskit cockpit with 3D decals except the IP panel which I cut from transparent foil painted black on the back. The black around the cockpit is Tamiya semi gloss black LP-5.

The weapon's bay is pretty much done. I plan to add some wires on the sides but at the very end after the covers are installed and major paint job is complete. https://pbase.com/danwolo/tamiya_148_f35a

My progress so far... https://pbase.com/danwolo/tamiya_148_f35a

Wow! Look at the RAM panels. I guess LM will have to increase the thickness of the panels. No way Tamiya is wrong.

Page number 2 and no single word of criticism while it's obvious that the RAM panels are unacceptable. I guess that's why some people are questioning whether it is Tamiya tooling.

Amazing job on this one! Question: what is wrong with Tamiya radome? I see people keep using aftermarket noses but I am unable to see the difference. I noticed that KASL even offer two versions with long and short conductors.

Notice AIM-9L on another tip. We got xrays only. It was taken during weapon integration tests in California around 2006. There are other pictures from Edawards showing them droping JDAMs from BRU-57A.

Keep in mind that this picture was taken in US. This pod is not in the Polish Air Force inventor.

Wrong "B". Should be F-14B.

Thanks!

That looks great! How did you mix the Sharpie with IPA? Which colors have you used? Any of these?

The VFA-87 jets have the new gear bay doors...

Very nice. Looks like 1/48.

Having an option for old and new style wingtip formation lights would also be nice.

Looking really good!
