Zigi Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Great job Zigi! It's starting to really look like a dirty kitty!To answer your question Kostucha, the salt weathering DOES cover the decals with paint, so you can either leave it on for a good weathered look, or remove it like Zigi and I have done because that is more accurate for the hi-vis show birds we're building. These insignias were painted on late in the aircraft's life as sort of a late swan song kind of thing, so they should look like new and unweathered- because they were. Thanks Chuck for explanation Here is a picture of real Cat thanks for comments Zigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMan Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 WOW, that is one dirty kitty! You did a great job making it look just like the real thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Zigi and Chuck, thank you for your replies, that definitely does answer the question! Again, I wasn't doubting you guys at all, just curious as to why? Not being a jet guy myself, I didn't have the information at hand - but that explanation, and the picture from Zigi definitely does answer it perfectly. Thank you. And Zigi, from what the pictures show, you're BANG ON!!! Excellent work so far! *wow she's a dirty girl* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am building F-14 D 1/32 AS WE SPEEK in the same markings. when i sough the plane i thought is was the trumpeter 1/32. It would be great if you would let me know if you have anymore pitfalls whe assemblly. I will be working on my 1/48 tomcats next year. Two many on the table now.
