F-14A Tomcat / VF-124 'Ghostriders' AE200 / Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Finally I am able to show my Tamiya model of F-14A AE200 (Block 80 BuNo 159446) from second cruise on USS America in 1977.

I have added few aftermarket parts including:

- Cockpit: mix of Eduard Brassin and Aires

- Gear and wheels from Kazan

- Eduard nozzles

- QuickBoost gun vents

- Pitot + AoA Model Master

- Decals are Furball 48-021 + Data Sheet Fightertown 48-087 + Tamiya

Painted with Hataka Orange, AK Extreme Metal and Gunze GX. Weathering made with Flory/Tamiya washes and oil paints from Ammo of Mig and AK pencils.

Enjoy!

Pastor,

I've seen plenty of Tomcats, and this effort is a 10-out-of-10 without a doubt. So

much to like it would look like a "Laundry List" to say the least. Superlative skills

in modeling and the finished product is proof positive... very well done!

Pastor,

 

Very nice build👍
 

Thank you for posting some of your in progress pictures. 
 

I am currently working on the Tamiya F-14A and I building out of the box. Your build is inspirational 👍😎


Take care,

 

Mr. Happy

HI,

thank you all for really kind and heartwarming comments 🙂

Next ongoing project is VF-111 F-4N in bicentennial livery from Eduard 1190 box (Academy repack)

Livery is not chosen definitely - I like each one included so it is a hard choice 😉

 

If you want to see my previous project: F-15C in desert camo from 144th FW/194th FS - Fresno ANG I can post it also 🙂 

Here you have a sample:
