1/48 F-14B Tomcat VF-103 Jolly Rogers


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Entering the GB with a 1/48 Revell F-14D converted to a -B. The decals are from VF Decals for AA-100 Buno 162918.

The Kit:

The 'Pit:

The Bang Seats from True Details, however since getting this kit I have aquired a Hasegawa F-14B and starting to consider swapping these for the Hase kit seats.

Here is the status of the build as I had started it for the CONA GB but ran out of time. Only the cockpit was completed and installed, as well as the nose gear well.

I am just putting the finishing touches to my current build, an Academy F-14A Bopmbcat, so I pulled this one onto the work bench. Hopefully, I can use some leftover parts from the Academy Tomcat to make this one a Bombcat as well. Just need to find another Lantirn Pod.

Happy Modelling

Finally some progress. I cut the elevators off the fuselage and using two different diameters of brass tube made it so that I can insert the elevators later and position them how I want them.

After that I was able to get the fuselage put together.

Along with this work I have been dealing with some nasty ejection pin marks...

More to follow soon I hope.

Happy Modelling!
