Tamiya 1/48 F 14A

Post by wjkunert »

This is my recently completed Tamiya 1/48 F 14A. Typical of Tamiya kits, everything fit perfectly. Decals were very good and there are lots of stencils. All in all an enjoyable build

In the past few years aircraft modeling has been more and more influenced by all the weathering techniques out of the armor department. I practice many of them for myself, but to be honest it's kind of revealing to see a clean and proper show room build from time to time. Especially modern NATO jets are very well maintained.
So it's a realistic and very good looking model you made there! :shoutout:

Thanks for the nice words. I basically build showroom stock - as they look when they come on line.

Looks real good! And it's the real VF-84 Jolly Rogers and not the posers of VF-103. :shoutout:

Chances are you are not retired and have to worry about getting money for food, rent, and stuff like that. I worked for the better part of 50 years(including my 10 years in the military which was more fun than work) so I don't have to worry about that kind of stuff. Somebody sends me money every month and I have lots of free time to pursue my hobbies. Your time will come. Be patient.

Less than three years to go for me... I am so looking forward to that day... :hmm:
