Fefster Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) This was my last compilation finished a couple of months ago. It's the Hasegawa VF-213 Blacks Lions kit transformed into an F-14 Bravo. I use a Black Box cockpit, Pitot and AOA probe from Hobby Decal, Wheelliant resin wheels, Fightertown VF-103 Jolly Rogers Cruise 2000-2001 and Fightertown data stencils, two AIM-7 and one AIM-9 from the Tamiya kit and one Lantirn and two GBU-12 from Hasegawa's weapon set D.

Whiskey Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very nice, really love the TPS all along the fuselage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardog Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Great job overall, especially the TPS. It's a great representation as not all airplanes with that scheme are extremely weathered. Would you mind sharing your painting technique? -Elmo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fefster Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks for your comments.

Mstor Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Excellent step by step! I learned quite a bit. I especially like your method for painting the wing seal marks that come from the wings moving in forward and back by using a compass. And your method of making the black and yellow handle rings on the ejection seats is brilliant. Thanks. Great build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I finally snagged that same sheet for a reasonable price after many years of chasing it. That and seeing your wonderful build has made my life feel complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Santa Cat decals are an excellent sheet like all Fightertown, but pay attention to the badge on the top fo the wing. It includes a black and white but it must be clear.
