Jolly Rogers Last
Flight
This is the 1/48
scale Hasegawa F-14B Tomcat "VF-103 Jolly Rogers Last light". I
started building it in April 2007, then took a long break before starting again
in late 2009. It finally got completed in early 2010.

The kit was built largely
out of the box. Limited scratch building was done to make hydraulic lines
on the main landing gear as well as the rain repellant on the nose and
also the missile rails. The kit sadly doesn't come with any weapons.
You
have to get the extra weapon set if you want to add weapons to it.
The weathering efforts included
pre-shading with German gray, as well as post shading with gray and a bit of
mahogany. The model was finally treated with an oil wash on the panel lines and
rivets.
