This is the Academy 1/72 F-14
Tomcat. I completed this kit in Feb 2004. It is OOB. The major problem is the
front fuselage attachment point to the rest of the plane. I had to do major
filling there and thereby sanded away a lot of detail. I brush-painted the plane
with Tamiya acrylics. I used Casio labelling
tape for the canopy frames, instead of painting the frames. Sludge wash
was applied for weathering. I used a red Sharpie marker for the edges of the
gear doors.

Just recently (July
2005), I weathered the plane again with multiple coats of enamel wash. And here
on ARC is the result!
Happy modelling!
