wojtek_fajga Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Hi, here is my newest project - F-14A from Hasegawa. I am planning to make it as VF-84 Jolly Rogers. I will use Fightertown decals. F-14A is a big fighter, below comparing with WWI fighter - Fokker dr.I :) First problem in my model was canopy... I sanded it and polished... Second problem is was Vulcan cover. I change it with PE part. Edited October 15, 2008 by wojtek_fajga Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMan Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 WOW! Love the Jolly Rogers! Favorite squadron, when I build mine in the winter I will be using Fightertowns Jolly Rogers decals. Love that PE also! BTW, nice shine on your canopy! Keep the pics coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Looks great!! A correction for you - The rear gun vent (NACA) with the triangle opening wasn't used on this jet. You want to use the part that has no vent. Where did that PE come from? It looks great. -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Whoa...those were hasegawa parts? I...I didn't realize Zhengdefu and Matchbox made Hasegawa's F-14... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 This should be a great looking Tomcat. Watching with interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looks like a great build so far! Like Brian I am curious to know who makes that PE part for the cover? Cheers, Anders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boxster Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I was wondering how come no one complain of the Vulcan cover problem. Looks very good there! Do you intend to make that PE as after market? Might be interested in some considering I have a few of this same A models. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wojtek_fajga Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Do you intend to make that PE as after market? Might be interested in some considering I have a few of this same A models. I don't know now. When is more people interested on this build, I probably make some sets of PE parts for F-14. Please write to my when F-14 is finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Wow those look really good. Wish my camera took pictures that were an 1/8th that good. All I get is fuzz! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 And here I was thinking (upon seeing the thread's title & before I clicked on the link), that this is going to be another boring F-14 build. Thank goodness I was wrong! Your work is awesome, Wojtek! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lgl007 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 A boring F-14 build? Is there such a thing when dealing with 'gawa F-14's ;) -Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMan Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Wow that PE is sharp and crisp looking! Just brings out the details so well! I would definately be interested in getting some of that for a future Tomcat build thats for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowy_one Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 awesome! what other PE have you for this build? i would be a customer - you should do a poll on how many of us would buy your designed PE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I like your PE parts, Wojtek! The pitot probe looks great too. If you ever decide to market these, please don't forget us 1/72 modellers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
