1/32 F-14D Super Tomcat WIP

I use mm metalizers along with alclad.. try using post it notes as they are extremely low tack..another good choice would be frisket film

A mix of both MM enamels and MM metalizers.   I was trying to mask the different panels for various heat effects, but the tape stuck too well to the paints and is now a part of the paints itself.   It really is ugly.

ok cool. btw what paint was used on your engine panels?

I started it last year and it has no set end date, so jump on in.   My Su-27UB C got derailed by some bad paint issues around the engine panels.   I'm going to have to strip and sand them clean before I can move on with that one.

The GB is here:   http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/29/t/143692.aspx

If you build that Flanker anytime soon, I've got a Flanker family-only GB going.   I would be happy to have you join in.

f14 tomcat freak- thaks for the heads-up on that.  Zactoman seems to be fixing a lot of Trumpeters molds- same intake issue with their 1/32 Su-27's.

What is off about the intakes?   I hadn't read of any issues with them...

Tojo72- I hope I can do all these parts the justice they deserve.   It should be a fun project in a short time frame.

Looking forward to seeing this one,should be an impressive build

Dean, from what reviews I've read online, it seems to be a great kit and that Trumpeter has upped their game on this one.  I'm still a few days from actually beginning work, so we'll see.  But, if its anything like their other recent releases then it ought to be relatively easy to assemble.

Jester- "should be" is the operative phrase, lol.   I'll worry about storage later- (I'm trying to get some of my big birds into a local shop for display).  A friend just got the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito- now that's a BIG model.  

Ah ha! So here it is lol, good to see this Dre, I am curious as to what kind of a kit it is (how good I mean) I will be watching with interest.

This should be awesome! Where do you put such a beast??
