ulvdemon Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Figured I would show this build since I just completed the USS Defiant. I am planning on building something in 1/32 scale in the future. Promise. Yet for now, enjoy and please let me know what you guys think. On a side note... the pilot either came with the kit or was snatched from the OA-4M that is my stash, so the detail is a tad... soft. Or I am just so blind that I can't paint details in 1/48 scale. MARU5137, denders, LSP_K2 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARU5137 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Ooh MY favorite Fighter jet. You're doing a SPLENDID job. Keep it coming. Martinnfb and GreyGhost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvdemon Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 (edited) Here is where she stands now. So I am going to go with NK200 decals when I get to that point. Actually pretty happy with how the white came out, a lot of coats but that's how it goes. So I picked up "The Scale Hornet" Guide for tips on how to build a model inflight without sticking a rod through the exhaust. So I believe I will be putting the connection for the post between the Phoenix missiles at an angle, which should allow clearance for the wing sweep mechanism. Enjoy.

ulvdemon Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 This build is just rolling along. I can honestly say it looks better then my first attempts in the 80's! Plan is to paint and weather the wings and then close up the fuselage and then do the same. Enjoy everyone.

ulvdemon Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Thanks all. Did a dry fit, just remembered how horrendous the join in the front is. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvdemon Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Wings are just about done, pilots added (no comments on the RIO's legs tog et him to fit), wheel wells closed for an inflight build. She is getting there. for the people watching, and suggestions for where to get a good example of what the TPS scheme should be for the F-14? It seems to vary and the instructions from Revell are somewhat vague.. Rockie Yarwood and GreyGhost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvdemon Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 (edited) Wings are about 90% weathered. I am honestly not quire sure how I feel about the look of it. I am horrible with weathering, but this go around is better than I've done so far. I still have to do the swing marks against the fuselage plus some other odds and and ends on the wings, but those can be tackled after I close up the fuselage.
