seb91 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi everybody, I am very pleased to intoduce you this F-14 that i have finished few minutes ago ... This is the Hasegawa one, with Aires cockpit, Steel Beach covers (not for nozzle, they are "home made"), some Fine Molds and Eduard parts ... Decals are Fightertown's master pieces, as usual ...thanks Brian... Some views of Aires cockpit, with Remove before Flight from Eduard : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seb91 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 The Armament of this Tomato Cat is very unusual. I have made a mistake with the TALD : i thouht that it was a JSOW. May be i will change it if a TALD exists for the 72 sclae modelers ... Then, some structure details, with famous grim reapers's angel of death : Thanks for reading and all comments are welcomed...

twhite80 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Looks sweet! You did a bang up job. I still think that the red skunk stripe is soooooo, well not pretty. But it is unique and you need one in the collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reddog Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey, I've seen that bird! On thing, the Sparrow should have blue stripes, it was inert. Look OUTSTANDING!! Reddog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hello, Seb. That's a fantastic model you built there. I googled "TALD" and it does look a lot like a JSOW, just smaller and with an air intake at the bottom. I do not recall seeing an aftermarket TALD in any scale. Cheers, Stefan.

Reddog Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 A TALD with an air intake at the bottom is an ITALD, not the kind that was loaded on that day. You want the TALD w/o the intake. Reddog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Looks sweet! You did a bang up job. I still think that the red skunk stripe is soooooo, well not pretty. But it is unique and you need one in the collection. Are you kidding!? I love this scheme! The red and gray make make me think it should be flying down the Death Star Trench!

Mike J. Idacavage Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is a great build and now one that I plan on doing. Well done!! I had not considered doing this scheme until I saw your finished model. Simply outstanding! I do have a tactical question for you on your build. Did you had the little clear parts during the main part of the build (before painting) or did you add these fiddley bits as one of your final steps after the model was painted & decaled? I have been trying to figure out the best time in the build process to add these parts so I might as well ask an expert! Have fun modeling! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seb91 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi Mike et thanks a lot for all your comments, I am not an expert in modelling, and it's a very very very long road to reach this level ... So, for this model, i have placed cristal parts after decalling and painting. This is usually my process. But i think that it's not a good method. So, in the future, i will glue cristal parts before (during the build itself...),and then, i will protect all this parts for the paint stage. I have had some problems to sand correctly the putty used for these parts... And all the modellers that i know glue these parts before... Thanks again. Seb Thanks again.
