Hi mates, this is my latest project. I'm building this as part of a Group Build on another forum. It's the 1:72 kit from Fine Molds of the F-14D, and it's a beauty. I'll be using the lovely "Anytime Baby" scheme added to one of the VF-31 Tomcats for the official retirement ceremony. This one is in Light Gull Gray over White (the way all USN planes should be painted!) and has a great version of the twin-tailed cat logo on the tail. This particular aircraft was on static display, while another VF-31 bird with a low-viz version of these same markings flew during the ceremony. This is a beautiful kit, although the engineering and breakdown of the parts is unusual. So far, everything fits really well though. Cheers, Bill

Looks like a really clean and pretty build. You seem to have a good hand with tiny PE stuff! Following with interest!

More work on the Tomcat - I need to finish this by December 18, the deadline for the group build on Britmodeller. I might just make it, but it will be close. I need life to get out of the way and let me play with my models! Cheers, Bill

Hi mates, I've found the time to add the decals to the main fuselage. These are the decals from the Hasegawa kit, and they went down without too much difficulty. They're not Cartograf by any means, but at the end of the day my decal solvents did their job. We're getting close to the finish. Cheers,
Bill

There is something that doesn't look quite right - ah! The wings! Now, where did I leave them...

Stunning how you always manage to make your 1/72nd builds look like quarterscale, what a beautiful result !

very nice and clean build. I would have applied a very decent wash, just to enhance the panel lines a bit. But this is a matter of personal preference. You delivered a very nice Tomcat. Well done.
