Project "Sky Hawk"
IRIAF F-14A Tomcat + MIM-23B "Improved Hawk"
- Escala:
- 1:72
- Status:
- Idéias
Long story, short: In 1986, the IRIAF, running low on AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, launched Project "Sky Hawk"!
They took a MIM-23B "Improved Hawk" (yes, that's the known SAM!!) and armed an F-14A with it.
Project failed, but it's an awesome modelling idea.
Spending half my Army Service in a HAWK battery, and after fishing up the awesome attached Resin/PE/Decal set, I thought I would give it a go.

Vorya, in the Windwalk decal sheet, there are 3 options: 6073, 863 & 6024.
Those 3, have different fonts. Also the sheet gives you another 3 options on a 3-60xx format, again different fonts. Finally, gives generic number set in diffent fonts and colours (including arabic numbering.)
I will post later (when I get home) a pic of the sheet to show what I mean, and guide me to the correct font and colour 🙂
Also a friend will lend me this book:
SCM Book:
(and I ordered an IRIAF F-14 patch, to inspire me!!!)

Here's the decal sheet: [img1]
As for the colours, I use Tamiya and Gunze, and I already found 3 different references about the camo scheme. I will research more before spraying anything.

Yes Holger, looks nicely printed, but to be sure generaly with decals, you need to test them first and then apply 😛 (talking out of baaaad experience)

Thanks alot Vorya. In the book I found many references on the -73, and while the sheet gives a ready number marking, I wll go for that.
Now I have to find some aftermarket that fits the Academy model, while there are no accessories (weird) for my kit.
Hope to start next week 🙂

Holly, the only thing thats for sure, are the Alpha and AOA probes by master (F-14 Tomcat - Pitot Probe & ..obe (Master AM-72-007, 1:72))
After that, I was thinking of some cockpit/canopy PEs. Nothing more.
