JohnS Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hello everyone, this is my first post. I don't build many models, but I've just completed a USN VF-74 Adversary Tomcat (my first model in 3 years) that I'd like to share with you. I've wanted to build a VF-74 Bedeviller Adversary Tomcat for a number of years, and finally decided to do it this year. Here's a few pic's. I hope you like it. Oh, did I mention it's 1/144 scale Dragon model? :) ... and a little Photoshopping. It was a fun build, requiring a little research as there is not a lot of information on the VF-74 Adversaries. I made the 1/144 decals, as well as modified the antenna locations, added the gun vents, and scratch built the nose probe, rear fuel dump tube, and TACTS pod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Krukowski Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 That's a sharp-lookin' F-14 in ANY scale, but being 1/144 it's all the more impressive. I'm fairly new around here too but welcome! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Excellent Little Tomcat, I thought it was a 1:72 scale kit at first ... Welcome to ARC too, John ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THX1138 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Now I know why I don't do 1/144 or 1/72. Because I could never top what you're doing here. Excellent work on such a mini cat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnS Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Unfortunately, I'm space challenged and don't have a lot of room to display the models. So I'm doomed to 1/144 scale right now. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Animal Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 That is one damned fine pocket-Kitty. Great job. I've been trying to find a "jaw-drop and shatter smiley" I'll let you know when I find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sharkey Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The first pic could easily pass as a 1/72, perhaps a 1/48 scale. Wonderful work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
