Arne Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Helleo, Excuse my bad English ! ...in the next (long)Time i will show you some Pictures of my actually Build. It will be an F-14B from the VF-102 in 2001/02 during Operation "Enduring Freedom" - the last hot flights of these Tomcats before the VF-102 became the Superhornets ... The first Step is one of the finest - the really wonderfull Cockpit from Aires is pure Joy ! ... Edited July 5, 2014 by Arne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Wow! That cockpit looks amazing. If I could ever get half as much detail painted in 1/48, I would be happy. Can't wait to see what you do out of the dreaded Hasegawa kit, as some modelers say it is difficult to build. I was always enjoying your models over on FF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barracuda250 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Gutten tag Arne! Beautiful work... As i see, not only in "B" versions the machine gun is not right. Kockpit is very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arne Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Yes, the Cannon and the Cannonbay from Verlinden are too short. And thats is because Verlinden the Resin-parts adapted to the "Cannonbay" from the Hasegawa-Kit. - But this "Cannon Bay" from the Kit is not the Cannonbay, is it only the Sector for the various Kit-Parts of the various Cannon-Covers of the Tomcat-Versions. There is still a lot of work to me! I hope, you all can understand my poor translation ... Edited July 27, 2014 by Arne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
