Fancherello 772 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 25 Starfighter, Rainer Hoffmann, geedubelyer and 22 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F`s are my favs 2,412 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! 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonH 1,243 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. 1 Whitey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
