leverancier Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi everybody, The hornet isn't even completely dried, and here is the next 1: Tamiya 1/32 Tomcat Black box F-14D pit Wolfpack F-14D conversion Wolfpack Refueling probe Wolfpack Late style wheels Crossdelta step area and stiffener plates Eduard exterior set Eduard placard set Zotz Bounty Hunters last cruise When I read the osprey book about the F-14 in OIF, the artwork inside of Bullet 106 caught my eye and I knew I had to build it. I had the kit laying around for some time, but couldn't find a conversion set for a reasonable price. So when the wolfpack sets came out, I jumped right on it. The cat is my favourite aircraft, and I spent quite some dineros on the sets, so this one has to be good! No cutting corners, nothing less then perfection will be accepted.... Or close enough anyway, it still has to be fun to build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Will this one take you a whole 3 weeks? Looking forward to this one!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 WOW... Great Stuff. The Zotz Decals are not 100% accurate for the low viz, it are better for High Viz. Greetings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eliminator Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Take care: For Bullet 106, the name of the pilot is wrong on the decal. His name is Culic not Cyclic...I've build Bullet 100 one or 2 years ago and submitted the pictures you can take a look...beside this I've build Vandy One(BuNo 164604) and 2 F-14As (BuNo 161164 of VF-84 and BuNo 160913 of NSAWC). Right now I'm building an F-14B and I'm using almost the same amount of stuff as you do(Wolfpack F-14D conversion, late style wheels, IFR probe, Black Box F-14B pit and CAM decals(F-14B BuNo 161426 of VF-143, AG 103) pictures of this build are in the jet forum under this title: Wolfpack F-14D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leverancier Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 First little update: weird panel sanded down, ifr bay cut open, painted and glued in place: The other side, same thing with the panel. I allso cut open the vents, sanded down the rear, place pieces of plasticard behind them and filled the seems with mr dissolved putty. The pit is cleaned, so assemblyand painting on that will start tomorrow. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leverancier Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 I've cut up the rear section to install the wolfpack engines... And as eliminator stated in the Jet forum, 1 side fits, the other is too big... bummer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eliminator Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Do you got pictures? On wich side of your Cat doesn't it fit? At this time, we're already 3 to notice these fittings problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
