Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1/72 Hasegawa. Started this one about a decade ago and finally finished it. Always liked the DB's original Tomcat markings much more than the snake-around-the-world emblem so often used by decal manufacturers. Eduard cockpit placards, True Details seats. Decals from Hasegawa kit, Furball, Repliscale, Superscale and Wolfpak. HUGE thanks to Kurt (goondman) who saved this project by supplying, at his expense, a replacement canopy!! Original was lost after two moves in the past 10 years. If ever this man needs anything for any build, please help him out, and send me the bill! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Diamondback 111 joins her other snake sisters so far, including an F2H-3 Banshee, F4D-1 Skyray and an F-4J Phantom. On the Banshee and Skyray, each little white diamond was hand-cut from a white USAF tail code, for lack of alternatives (looks better than hand painting). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gremlin Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 well done, and nice collection of Diamond Backs planes regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Seems like there's a lot of Diamondback related stuff in my life right now and this has only added to it. Great job Andrew! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Good looking stuff. Now you just need to do an F-14B and super hornet to finish it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thanks everyone! True achterkirch, although also an F-4B; they were one of the earliest users. Also a late F-4J in lo-vis. Even if I did all those, it would be nothing compared to my Jolly Rogers collection (31 planes) 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Nice! Like the cockpit details - especially the seats. There is only one thing I dislike with Hasegawa f-14. How can You pilot this jet with so bad front window visibility. That IP coaming is way too high. Doesn't detract from the completed model. Nice work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
