swimmer25k Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Where does the gray end and the white begin, and where to mask? Late 80s VF-111 -A is what I'm building (if that matters). Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Does this help? I can't find the picture I have from Estrella Warbirds Museum of their F-14, but I did find this among the 3k F-14 pix I've collected from the Interweb. Google helped my find whence it came... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1975_F14-A_Tomcat_(4283369392).jpg Edited October 19, 2017 by dnl42 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swimmer25k Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Evidently, I'm a "f-ing idiot" over on closed Facebook group for this thread. Yes I know how to use Google. More often than not, open source material doesn't always translate to what the modeler (i.e. Me) needs to capture in a particular detail and comes up short. Lots of you guys provide links or even your own photos showing a particular detail we may need to help finish a model. Here's a practical example. I live in the DC area (with all the other f-ing idiots) and VMAQ-209 was a reserve EA-6B squadron that used to be stationed at Andrews AFB. There's lots of readily available photos of their old "Darth Vader" Prowler. I shot over 200 pictures of that jet (some with a scale attached to plane) so that the f-ing idiots over Fightertown Decals could do their sheet as accurate as possible. Maybe they could have pulled it off searching Bing or a back issue of "Combat Aircraft"? My time was not wasted by helping them out. Fightertown had a deliberate need and I was happy to help out (and score a free sheet). Just the same as I wouldn't deliberately waste your time trying to look up a simple detail or fact that's plain as day. V/R Chris ARC Resident F-ing Idiot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BoeingDriver Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Swimmer, there are tons of reference pics available on the Tamiya F-14 FB page. I remember your question being asked and a few pics were posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
