This was my test bed for my Steel Beach F-14B conversion. It should be available sometime in January. This is Tamiya Tomcat #3 for me, and I'm still amazed at how easily it builds up. For this one I added a set of True Details resin seats and Eduard wheels. I tried the burner can petal decals from Fightertown, and they worked great. I think next time I'll lightly spray them with Burnt Metal before putting them on. Also, the area that you apply them to has to be perfectly smooth. They show any defect on the part. I used a mix of Afterburner decals from their VF-84 and VF-103 sheets as well as detail decals from the Fightertown sheet. These were the markings that I put on my very first FSM article and I've always wanted to go back and do them correctly. It brought back good memories...and made me feel old all at the same time!
