Revell Top Gun Maverick F-14 Tomcat beginner build
1st build in over 35 years

This build has been a serious learning experience and has tested my patience from step 1. I just wanted to jump in and start a model that without no creative idea or goal and felt comfortable just following the instructions and chose my favorite airplane not realizing that it was a difficulty rating of 4/5. Painting and gluing extremely small parts has been a hefty challenge especially with, at first, inadequate tools/accessories. When I started I had no idea what the difference between enamel and acrylic paints were and tried to clean my paintbrush in water using enamels and was confused as to why it wouldn't clean.
