F-14A Tomcat from Area 88

(1/3) > >>

Spey Phantom:
ok, i decided on a project to build for this GB  ;D
i decided to go with an F-14 Tomcat, painted in the colors of Mickey Simon's F-14 from the Anime/comic Area 88.

the kit im gonna be using is a Revell 1/144 F-14A Tomcat, decals for the tail will be used from an older F-14A Black Tomcat kit.

Spey Phantom:
thought i would upload a pair of pictures of how im doing  ;)

i barely started, all i did was cut the tails out of the spreu and applied a first layer of black paint.
it wont be done anywhere before newyears, with the holidays coming up, and im spending christmas at my GF's place, i wont have any time to make significant progress.

taiidantomcat:
This is going to be good  :)

Spey Phantom:
update:

i noticed in the clip from Area 88 that Mickey's tomcat was modified into a single seater, with the removal of the rear seat, so i decided to do the same  8)



meanwhile, i built the rear fuselage, but i decided, to keep things simple, to glue the wings in a fixed position.

Spey Phantom:
some more progress made today, almost ready for the paintshop.
i still need to scavenge the stash for 4 additional AIM-7 Sparrow missiles.
i have another 2 tomcats in the stash that dont really need them, so i might salvage a few from there  8)
