Progress
This will be the loadout
the armory gave us loadouts for this build (right) and also the Nickel section which I hope to finish once the stripe decals from Anyz arrive
this is going to be mostly OOB build so no fancy aftermarket pit. gonna paint the PE and then put decals on it.
trying to find a way to make the intakes easy as there are several more of those to be done in the future. when the putty dries there will still be lines but once i sand and do this again it should be acceptable
some finemolds parts here. a little more filling needed but otherwise I'm happy
needed some putty to keep its shape
watching a lot of car builds on yt and trying to apply the lessons to the tomcats
the wings - totally the most discouragingpart of every hasegawa tomcat build
this badboy is gonna need some sanding too
interesting comparison: finemolds tanks vs. hasegawa - which ones should i use?
really happy with the top of the jet here. this is why i love hasegawa. no other 72 tomcat kit can look this realistic in this area

Martin von Schreckensteinwelcome Roland and Maciej. There is some more sculpting to do and then I will start preparing this for paint. I will close the pit first and then black base and masking of the stripe. The refuel probe cover and some aim9 rails will have TPS paint as it will be a nice detail and the reference pictures have this. In the end I am so used to the gawa f-14 that a lot of the issues no longer bother me haha except for the wings and clear parts, those are impossible even for me🙂
