Jinxter13 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 One question front wings should be painted? I've seen some photos and it seems to me, that they are painted, with a colour like silver or something like that. Can anyone help me? According to a very reliable source.,...the front leading edge is bare metal along with the lip of the intake, also the bladders which are near the trailing edge of the wings when swept forward.

D_IcarUS_ Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 30-10-2010 up-date Hello guys, Here goes my latest up-date of my F-14A, from Italeri.

Jinxter13 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) :soapbox: That weathering is in a word superb, wizardry at it's finest. The panel lines are awe inspiring...great job!!!. You have just helped Italeri sell another Tomcat...I don't care what others say...for me the proof is in front of my eyes...the recessed panel lines beat's the 'ell outta RM. It will be a good subject for my "Old school" VF-1, 33, 114, or 211 build. Edited December 1, 2010 by Angels49 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
