crackerjazz Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Hi, everyone. The demands of work are taking a toll on my modeling time :(/> Real life gets in the way, doesn't it. I have 2 F-14 Dragon kits that I've always wanted to paint up and finish. I picked up two of these quite some time ago just for the F-14s. The fuel tanks and missiles were still hanging on the trees but I've since lost them so I'll have to look for replacements. I'm planning on patching up the panel lines but not get into too much detailing. I wanted to print out some Top Gun decals for the pair of F-14As from the movie -- but I'll see what have in my stash first. I do want to modify the tail a bit. ..and file down the intake walls.. A lot of patching up to do on the door areas and other seams. Edited March 11, 2015 by crackerjazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Oooooohhhhh, I love that pose they are in! I'll be using that in the future for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Air-to-Air Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 That's a very nice display you've got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 CrackerJazz, Two for the price of one, and 1/144 scale no less., What a great idea for a display of the two Tomcats. The positioning is really original, and does create a lot of visual interest. What are you planning for the actual base? Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi falcon20driver, thanks! I was envious of your 1/48. I'll practice on these before I build my Hase. I've actually built a Revell 1/48 VF-84 Tomcat ages ago(like the one in this link: http://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php?detail=16609 ) but it was a very basic model compared to the venerable Hasegawa 1/48 cat. : ) Hi Air-to-Air, I'm learning a lot from your 1/144 build! Hey, Joel, thanks -- I actually picked up 2 of the kits to build the pair of Tomcats :) When we moved I lost track of where the sprues are, so the F-18s are still in there somewhere. As for the base....ummm...that was pretty much all I had in mind (sheepish) : ( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
