wdedig Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 This was a "Out of Box" project. This kit I will recommend as not a difficult build but loaded with nice items such as Missiles nice interior,Great Decals. This is my first attempt at a F-14 and their interesting "wear" schemes. Kit decals were by Cartograf and worked very well. Paint was Vallejo for most part with Gunze used for the Cockpit exterior section. Final finish was Testors "Dull-Coat" decanted. A friend of mine with aircraft photography said dirty and flat is accurate. Most photos I found verify this. Thanks for Looking Comments Welcome Regards Bill 1
ghodges Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 Terrific looking Tomcat! You did an excellent job of capturing the varying colors in an otherwise drab scheme, and your weathering shows the wear on a fleet bird without being overdone. That'll be a proud addition to your shelf. Congrats! GIL

Mark Deliduka Posted November 14, 2018 Report Posted November 14, 2018 Brilliant work! Makes my Tomcats look like toys! Way to go on an awesome finish that I have no clue how to replicate.
wdedig Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Posted November 14, 2018 Wow Thank you Mark..I followed the "every once in awhile a blind squirrel scores an acorn" methodology. Cheers Bill
