Grumman F-14A Tomcat, Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

First, your model is fantastic, the weathering is very nicely done... But that stand....  WOW!

 

That is probably the coolest in-flight stand I have ever seen.  If I had the skills to work metal like that I would definitely do something like that.  I like how  you turned the red diagonal stripe from the Black Aces logo into the stand itself.  Brilliant!!!!

How did you attach the aircraft to the stand?

 

The Tomcat is lying on a piece of 3.2 mm welding wire ... here you can see it well

:doh:Out of Stock, my usual luck... Wanted to build a Tomcat participating in the Gulf of Sirte skirmish.

Thanks, Zach.

There's older sheets out there. Superscale did one of the VF-32 SU killers.

Very impressive! The model is pretty much perfect but that stand takes it next level! Is that stand powder coated? The finish is flawless, well done!

 

Thank you...the finish was done with Revell enamels and many layers of clearcoat.
