venom1 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Man, that is a sweet looking 'Cat! I love Tomcats in colours other than varying shades of grey, so this baby gets my vote!! :D Beautiful job on the weathering too, looks authentically faded. Beautiful job dude!

FEDE Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Wow Rom. Congratulations, nice Iriaf cat and i like your weathering job look realistic How does the painting to be realistic so worn and burned? Greetings. Fede Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 thanks guys! its appreciated! Fot the worn and buned effect, i begin with lightening the center of panels with base color +white or sand then after decaling, i spray a matt varnish layer mixed with sand color. I insist again in center of panels... This is how i get this effect! hope that helps!! bye! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderGrunt Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 ROM Great Cat, did you use any aftermarket stuff like the cockpit because it is amazing!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Very nice Tomcat my friend, but that nose sure reminds me of F-111. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sick Alicat (why're thy called that anyway?). Great weathering, and more impotantly, awesome paint! They're called Alicats because of two reasons: 1: Ali is often a very common element in the names of people who follow the Islamic faith. Iran is a Islamic nation. 2. Ali is pronounced the same as Alley. An Alley cat is often a phrase attached to a scrappy, tough fighter. Ali-tomCat= AliCat Fantastic build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Very nice model! But are you guys sure the iranians got any AIM-54 Phoenix-missiles at all? I thought they haven´t been delivered when they got their F-14s in the mid-70ies. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sen-Zero Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Again, like the Sundwoners-Cat, great Job! Your a real weathering master! :) To come back to the nose profile: The nose itself does not seem completely wrong to me, but the angle of the front part of the canopy (windshield ?!) looks to 'flat', i think it should be a little bit steeper. That's a common mistake of early kits , e.g. Otaki. Correct me, if i'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
