F-14 Tomcat Group Build idea...

Looking great guys!!! I wish I could have contributed but life got in the way! WE should try a different build.

John, that is kick-ass!That's the way VF-32 should have done theirs. That paint/marking scheme really works. I'm glad you stuck it out and completed it. Great job!

Now, it so happens I was having the same problem last night as John was but I do finally have finished pics for you of my VF-11 CAG F-14B.




Many, many thanks to armorman for hosting this GB! I really enjoyed it and am glad to have participated along with all of you. Perhaps one day when we all have a little more time, we can have a "reunion" GB. Now that we all know the pitfalls of the kits, it might go a little better for us.

Thanks bstrump.

Your 2nd kit looks awesome!
I find mine looks a bit dull, must build a hi-viz bird sometime.

Thanks armor, its been fun and challenging.
I agree with bstrump, we'll have to do another F-14 GB, maybe next year sometime.
Maybe we can focus on one squadron or just build the Tamiya kit

John

Next group build, I'm in. I have the Tamiya 1/32 kit with the decals for VF-154 and VF-21.

Hey guys those turkeys look great!
bstrump, that is a hell of a nice paint job- if that's a 72nd scale you sure make em look as good as 48's. Nice work!
osjohnm- very, very nice indeed!
Sorry I had to bail out on the build before it ended but a wedding has it's own way of taking over everything. Like Mark said- life got in the way- big time. I appreciate yall sticking with it and i wish I had been a better moderator! However, now that I am married and have a little more time I am hard charging into paknick40's WW2 a/c build with my second Tamiya P-47D. I can't say enough about this kit. Most of all you guys should join in if you aren't entangled in another GB.
Again- Thanks to all of you who stuck it out- I will promise you one thing- I am back to putting in a little time on the 'Cat every now and again. I'll post pics when I Get 'er Done!
Adios!

nice plane guys too bd it endiong now . will hope to see u guys soon too. i took some rest nowadays and do some amour tanks now. see u guys soon too

hi folks just a little update on my tomact. shes is ready for painting and all most decaling time. i know iam late but had things get in the way of my modeling time. i hope to have a few pic in a few days. oh yeah i know i siad i would build a playoboy bunny but the decals got messed up so i will be using decals for a VF-32 swordsman cat. i think your gonna like these markings they were only used for a short time on VF -32 birds.

I had to drop out of the build myself cause of life getting in the way all those finished birds look awsome. I be up for another tomcat build if anyone else would like to maybe get it off the ground later on this year.
