FINISHED F-14B TOMCAT NSAWC - 1:72 Hasegawa

[Guest]

Finally got this one finished, it's maybe a 1:72 but there seemed to be more work in it than a lot of 1:48s I have built. Anyway hope you enjoy the photos.

I like that Derek some thing a bit different than the normal grey on grey.

Only 1/72. Well I would never have guessed that!!

Great bit of work Derek.

Five low vis stars to the collection!

[Guest]

Thanks Lads for your kind comments. For this one I hung up my airbrush and did a hand paint job using Lifecolor paints exclusively, I thinned the paint to about airbrush consistency and applied three thin coats. The decals were a bit disappointing, easily damaged and the colours were not quite correct - too dark for the US insignia on the side of beside the cockpit. Cheers Derek

Top job Derek, your Tomcat looks sharp and unique in that scheme, well done.

Good job Derek. The tomcat looks completley different (to me) in this scheme.
