AndrewPerren Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hi All This is my latest completion. 1/48 Tamiya F-14D Tomcat as "Bullet 103" from VF-2 in OIF 2003. What hasn't already been said about this kit isn't worth saying. A real joy to build. The model is mostly box stock but I did add the following: Master Models turned brass nose probe Wheeliant resin wheels Fightertown Decals 48086 Tomcats at war Pt 3. Fightertown Decals 48087 Tomcat data and weapons decals. The model is painted in MRP Lacquers FS36375 / FS36320 / FS 35237 - USN TPS scheme, and weathered with Tamiya panel line wash, Tamiya weathering sets and AK weathering pencils. Here's a few pics, I hope you like it. Thanks for looking, Have a great day & stay safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rodney Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Extremely nice! Great finish and weathering. What was your process for weather the wing sweep area? Rodney Edited July 1, 2020 by Rodney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rodney Thanks all for the kind words. Rodney I was stressing about that area, after my final flat coat I used the AK weathering pencils. I inserted the wing into the socket, held the pencil in place and moved the wing to mark the arcs. Do this in a few places - remove the wing again and use the marked arcs as a guide for weathering sets ( or your chosen method) blended with q tips. Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brenhen Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Very nice build overall. I really like it! I don't know why, but the cleanliness and clarity of the canopy parts really sticks out to me and looks great. Did you anything to enhance them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
