Fancherello Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 hello It's been quite a while since my last build on LSP ! This year i've been back to modelling and here's the progress on an F-14B "late". Cokpit is a franken-pit done with both B ( early, for Tamiya kit ) and D Aires sets. Some parts were carefully cut with etch saws to break down the pits. To summ up, D tub early seats early front boards and covers RIO: late front large screen, lower screen right side, late stick on the left console, early stick ahead of the main screen ( photos of my unpainted pit show by mistake the late stick ) HUD added for the pilot. I have aires wheel wells and exhausts, and the great Zactomodels intakes which any modeller should have the opportunity to handle once. Great great craftmanship. All in all a pricey pack to gather, but I wont have many opportunities to build up an article on such a big jet ! Here are the pictures of the work so far: OOOOoops ! Wrong RIO stick ! I hope you'll like it ! Fanch johncrow, Uncarina, geedubelyer and 21 others 24

bdthoresen Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Fanch-One question.....WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN???!!!!! Looking great so far! Welcome back mate!!!!!!!Keep them coming!THOR, glad to see you......
F`s are my favs Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Oh, that cockpit looks very nice. The white knobs are a little too contrasting, but that's only according to my taste. Everything else, and especially the intakes, are .... Mesmerizing!!!! Fantastic weathering!
otis252 Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Excellent work! How did you do the texturing on the seat cushions? Beautiful and very realistic.Thanks. Chuck
DonH Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Wow! What a great start. I know nothing about the Tomcat, so forgive this question: were the intakes really that dirty? I thought they stuffed a man up there regularly with a mop and bucket. Whitey 1
