The wing looks good! Keep up the great work!

coming along quite nicely! Looks great.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looks really good Ziggy! Taking on the beat up look of the TPS paint jobs at sea on a cruise.

Finally finished the wings and mocked them up between the fuselage halves, also I added a piece of brass tubing for a gun barrel

Re: Revell 1/48 F-14A Tomcat
Well, I should have done research FIRST and then scratch built a gun barrel. Now I'm stuck with my mistake as removing the brass tube would cause too much damage, so it will be inaccurate.

You can't get some debonder to dissolve CA glue? Or did you use epoxy to attach the brass?

Stikpusher, I carved it into the plastic and it is sandwiched between two parts because there are two version of the gun panel, hard to see in my blurry photo

Understood Shane. Not sure what to suggest at this point…
