IRIAF F-14A 1/48 Tamiya


Recommended Posts

Hello fellow aircraft nuts how are you all so i normally build ww2 aircraft but once i seen pics of Tamiya's new F-14 i just had to get her

Here's the cockpit tub that just falls together as expected i used Mig acrylics which i am starting to use more these days and the usual tamiya enamels for detail painting. I will use the kit decals to build the IRIAF jet.

Thank you - No.11 / Aigore / crackerjazz / Bravosierra001 / Don / xavi84

Just some more pics before the main primer and paint goes on Tamiya supplies extra markings on the decal sheet for the wings that the IRIAF birds painted in the light blue / grey camo have on them so i might paint it in this scheme as this aircraft

( 3-6079 ) is quite well weathered in some pics which i would like to apply to the model.

Hi and back with the camo painted after priming with mig's white primer then a light grey base coat followed by the light bluey grey camo which i had to mix to get it as close as i could to the original

I left some of the paint a little patchy as part of the weathering which i hope will tie in well with what i plan to do for the overall look.

Very nice Tomcat!

I have one in the works as well...not as far as you yet. It's simply a great kit, deserves to be build. I am going to change the seats though for ones with belts...since I am not too fond on the two pilots. Both hang in there like dead (heads dropped) and in exactly the same pose. For such a great kit and at such a price two lifely pilots in different poses I think we could have expected.

 

cheers

Thanks Uwe

I agree it's a great kit and definitely won't be my last build of one of these I think I will try Tamiya's 1/48 F-16 after this and I really wish they would bring out a 1/48 F/A-18 A+ or C with perfect fitting intakes/nose ect

And good luck with your Cat what markings are you doing ?
