Revell 1/48 Maverick's F-14A Tomcat

[SigEp Ziggy]

I thought I would build this model my son gave me a couple of Christmas's ago.

 

I started with the cockpit...

Great start on this oldie. 

[SigEp Ziggy]

Painting some of the parts...

Very nice progress on the Big Cat, will be following. 

Just a suggestion, you could ask martin to move your build thread to the 1/48th scale forum, as most of the members more frequently look there.

Or the twins GB ?

[Peterpools]

Yes, either one for sure

[SigEp Ziggy]

My mistake, Martin can you move this thread?

[SigEp Ziggy]

Thanks Martin!

[Martinnfb]

Not at all, gear bays look good. 

[SigEp Ziggy]

I've got an update...

[Martinnfb]

Nice, step by step closer to the finish line

 

[Peterpools]

Some mighty nice progress on your Big Cat.  

 

[SigEp Ziggy]

I painted the wings first so I can sandwich the upper and lower fuselage together...

[Peterpools]

Terrific progress on your Big Cat. Weathering absolutely brings out the details on the gear and gear doors. 

On my Tamiya F-14 GB Twins build, I did the same with the gear and posted an update yesterday showing that portion of the build.

Thank you Peter, the Tamiya kit is both better and newer, but my son gave me this kit two Christmas's ago.  I prefer 1/72 scale armor and aircraft due to space limitation, but a gift from my son means a lot to me!

[Peterpools]

Right with you and no better reason for a build. I have a few kits my son gave me many years ago and they are so very special to me.👍
