1/72 F-14 by Academy

1/72 F-14 A by Academy





Here's one of the legendary birds that I always dreamed of, the mighty Tomcat. 




This bad boy comes with a lot of weapons choice. I opt to make it simple, 2 Phoenixes, and AIM-9 and an AIM-7. Will add the LANTIRN pod on the starboard glove.






This is in 1/72 scale my Academy. No problem with the fit, and the nice part is that it came with a ton of weapons.




The scheme is for VF-2 Bounty Hunters. This kit is all hand painted using Tamiya light grey, gun metal, semi gloss black, gloss white and flat base. I used Tamiya accent for panel lining and some weathering master.  This panel lines are post shaded


For the decals, I simply used floor wax. It seamlessly pulled the decals in between the panels. 



Having fun with the enamel wash. 



With the excess enamel removed.



Almost clean


The one engine tunnel on the top of the picture is clean, the one on the bottom is post shaded.



At any angle, the F-14 is really a beauty. Just hope I gave the plane justice with my build.



looks menacing



































I do have lots of things to improve, but that will come on my next build. Thanks for looking.
