PS: Sorry for my english. :)/>/>

At first I wanted to build a cockpit. Then I noticed F-14D resin cockpit set on AIRES web page. It is new, came out last week. I will get it probably next week, but that does not matter, becasue I started to work on undercarriage.

Here are the results of my work so far:

Some extra details on the front undercarriage:

So here is my new progress. I made some more details on front gear, I produced the headlight and the approach indexer. Then I painted it, washed it, painted some more detail and added Eduard nose gear placards..Here are some pictures:

Brilliant

can you paint enamel paint on top of that tape?

Honestly, I don't know. I never painted the tape. I will paint it with lacquer Mr. Color. I do not expect any problems...I will post here my experience with that.
