ulvdemon Posted March 14, 2022 Posted March 14, 2022 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. TankBuster, Rockie Yarwood, LSP_K2 and 3 others 6
ulvdemon Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 (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, 2022 Author Posted April 12, 2022 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. Rockie Yarwood, denders, GreyGhost and 1 other 4
ulvdemon Posted April 13, 2022 Author Posted April 13, 2022 Thanks all. Did a dry fit, just remembered how horrendous the join in the front is. Martinnfb 1
ulvdemon Posted May 3, 2022 Author Posted May 3, 2022 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
ulvdemon Posted May 16, 2022 Author Posted May 16, 2022 (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.

Confusionreigns178 Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Best-looking jet fighter in history, bar none. I'll be following your build with great interest. Cheers. Chris.
ulvdemon Posted June 22, 2022 Author Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) STILL ALIVE!!!! HONEST! Just a wanted to wait until I had a little more work done on the Tomcat. Seam work mostly but the ordinance is almost done. Edited June 22, 2022 by ulvdemon GreyGhost and chrish 2
GreyGhost Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Looking Smoove ...! Figure that base tooling is about 40+ years old now ... -Gregg
