Wow, she does look good! Your weathering is pretty spot on to the F/A-18s I've seen up close and personal.

I love that salt technique on jets.  I don't actually do jets myself, but I've seen enough of them in museums etc to know they weather quite like that.

Nice looking F-14.  Great job on the weathering, she looks appropriately beat up like she's been working hard.

Great job on the old Revell model. That is one good looking cat.

Thanks BK, it is a nice kit for the money. Alittle rescribing and a good paint job can do wonders for the old girl.

That does look nice. Well done. I nearly got that kit but when I went back for it, it was gone and they haven't gotten another. Oh well, you did it for me. Awesome work.

Thanks Brindos. No AM stuff used just the chin pod from my spares box and the seats from the academy kit.

Finished her up last night, The Revell 1/48 F-14D with my attempt to backdate it to a B model. it was a good modern navy painting excercise for me, along with trying some weathering.
