WOW ... awesome build in every respect and you nailed the weathering worn by Tomcats so very effectively. Right with both Martin and Kev, beautiful work. 🏆

Thanks very much Peter !!!! Next time I think I won't pre-shade with black. The MRP paints have such thin coverage that it made the paint scheme come out darker than I wanted.

 

Now I have to decide .....what is next on the bench ???

Your loadouts are looking mighty good. Looking forward to your Tomcat crossing the finish line, as you surely are closing in on it now. 

Thanks so much Peter !!!! Hope to finish her off by the end of the weekend, trying to fit in the build around doing work at my daughter's house this weekend.  Can't wait to see yours finished !!!

Washed and flat coated.

WOW, looking mighty good, decal work and weathering are spot on. You're absolutely in the home stretch now. 

This morning, I finally finished the last of the never seeming air brush list and tomorrow I'll be gloss and then decaling.

 

Looking forward to your update Peter !!!!

[Tamiya Tomcat VF-31]

Here we are ...... decals on ...... need to gloss coat over them, wash, dull coat and a whole lot more.

 

[Tamiya 1/48 F-14A; Update: 4/19/24 - DONE AND IN THE BOOKS]

Looking good Peter !!!! My F-14D is at the decaling stage after many days of hitting it with light gloss coats. 

 

[Tamiya 1/48 F-14A; Update: 4/19/24 - DONE AND IN THE BOOKS]

Weapons & landing gear look great Peter !!!! Hope mine look as good !!!

[Tamiya Tomcat VF-31]

Just to prove that I'm still at it ...............working on landing gear, pylons, etc.
