Messersch Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 Ok dudes, turkey time, this is the second delivery, stay tunned for more updates soon as I can 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Messersch Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Well folks, another update, so far so good, it has taken me a short time build up this model, I mean no need to fill gaps, any sand or even rescribing or reriveting any loose detail, everything fix marvelous, that´s why the turkey is almost ready for primer, and shortly the painting stage, the most funny part for me! Stay tunned for more updates =D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwen Phoenix Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi Messersch, (Shouldn't we have a drooling emoticon on here?). I'm yet to have the Airfix 1/48 Hunter F.6, the Great Wall Hobby 1/48 Su-27UB, the MiniBase 1/48 Su-33 and this Tamiya kit (the A one which brings the dirty wings). Unfortunately, no-one down here is importing those kits... Will be following your progress on this one. Cheers, Gwen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice subjects all those models 😃 Shame on Tamiya, the first release came with only one wing option =/…I have a second Tomcat, the AMK and let me tell you, looks great too, but first this one, so far? Just fun, fun and more fun, very very impressive the fit and detail,congrats to Tamiya, take care 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Messersch Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Morning chaps! Another up date, the turkey is almost ready for paint, so new updates cooming soon, thanks for watch and comment 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I find it funny, the most built up markings for the F-14D seems to either be the VF-2 or the VF-31. I got myself a Tamiya and Hasegawa F-14D's in hopes to build them in... VF-2 and VF-31 markings. It seems You'll have an extremely nice Tomcat on Your shelf! Can't wait for some more pics!

VF 2 Bounty Hunters & VFA 31 Tomcatters, LOL, indeed this one (tamiya is obviously a bounty) and then I build up my next F 14 project, the beauty AMK F 14 D and guess what…yes, gonna be VFA 31, looks impressive in that scheme for me 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Nice. I see You put some thermal coating on the GBU-16 (is it a -16?). I like how You handled the top colour. Very nicelly done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dip a tooth brush in some thinner, and give a gentile wash with the same thinner, and then with the hard part of the tooth brush give some strikes trying to make this effect, regards.

Messersch Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Ok pals, more up dates, and there´s something to say about this kit? Is perfect, just the decals, as always, Tamiya´s way, very thick, but perfect register, sharp colors, and a lot of data/stenciles, but not like th F4, that drives me crazy (4 F-4 build so far, 2 Academy, 1 Hasegawa and 1 Zukei Mura) This kit is a real joy, I have another F-14 from AMK and well, this one have some minor issues, and then, if you ask me, if you can grab this kit or the previous model A, go get it, and if are two or more you never regret this, I can swear this, so, let the images speak by themselves 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Messersch Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Well folks, after a little break I´m back in business with this turkey, nothing much to say just easy money, perfect kit, just I have to say, the decals, as all we know very thick, but ok, just a little help from our friend Micro sol/Micro set and some patience, carry on sailors! Sorry if you see twice the same pic =/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
