    Tamiya F14A Aggressor

    Finally completed after far too long.
    Thanks for all the comments and encouragement that saved it from an untimely fate.
    I'm nowhere near 100% happy with it but from what I had at one stage it's unrecognisable!Click image for larger version

    Absolutely brilliant build.
    I bet that camo was a pain to paint

        Actually it wasn't bad. Base of bright blue and then there's actually only a few stripes/spots of dark blue and grey. It looked daunting to start but visually gives a great impression.

        The underside was a paint to paint with a lot of masking.

            Love it! A well known subject in an uncommon paint scheme showing the wearing of a training unit's aircraft.

                Awesome James. The level of wear is so very realistic. A truly brilliant built.

                  James,
                  Really glad you stuck with it. It has turned out very nicely indeed.

                    That's a cracker James. Very glad it made it over the finish line.

                      She's a beauty James. Well done for persevering with this, it was definitely worth it.
