Scalemates F-14 Group Build 2020 Finished.

Clifford Keesler
This one is finally finished.

Treehugger
Btw, I think the box reference is wrong Tomcat. As this is the F-14D I think.

Clifford Keesler
You are correct sir, I guess I selected the wrong project, I will see if I can correct that. LOL.

Michael Phillips
That turned out fantastic Clifford! You should be very proud, you tamed the Hasegawa F-14 beast and came away with a magnificent model.

Bravo!

James C
Congrats Clifford that's a fabulous looking Tomcat mate👍

Woah nice Clifford! I had to go cast this to my TV to have a close look. That's a beautiful result.

Alexander
Great weathering and detailing! The final look of the model looks awesome! 👍

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Michael, James, Sergei, Jos, Augie, Michael, Treehugger, Roland, Daniel, Donald, Nathan and Alexander. Your kind words mean a lot to me. All the trouble was worth it in the end. Would I build another ? Hell yes.

Clifford Keesler
@ Treehugger, it is actually 3 colors of Gray, Light Ghost grey, Dark Ghost grey and Medium grey. Guess my weathering kind of blended them all together. This was my first time weathering with oils. Maybe I over did it a little. LOL.

Sergej I
Clifford, this happened to me aswel first time with oils. I figured out that in 72nd scale I am more exact with Tamiya Weathering sets. And in details and structures where I need lines, streaks and such, the AK weathering pencils suit me.
Maybe I am just too impatient to wait days with oils.

Clifford Keesler
I have a heat gun, that I used to use to shrink the covering on my RC models, it is now used to dry my oils. LOL.

Michael Phillips
Did you try the future/X-21 flat coat recipe on this one Clifford?

Clifford Keesler
Yes I did. I think it turned out pretty good, what do you think? I may have to tinker with it a little bit.

Mirko Römer
Great tomcats? Anytime, baby!

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Mirko.
