Sorry Stu, pink's not really my colour!!  

I've unwrapped it and decalled it too.




All it needs are the missiles (which would have been finished yesterday if we hadn't had the storm and power cuts!) and the canopy on, which I'm doing open, so it'll be the last thing to go on.  The power cuts meant that I couldn't do any airbrushing as we use a compressor, and as the missiles are white, I've airbrushed them!

The missiles are now painted, I just need to let them dry!

Great looking F-14.    I love those colourful US Navy schemes.

Looks great, lovely sharp paint job and the colourful decals add that extra spark to it!

Thanks guys.

I'm pleased with it too.  I'll try and get it finished this weekend, as the missiles are now sprayed and ready to go on, and then it'll just need the canopy.

TimJ, I like the colourful schemes too, but I understand why they're not used in practice!

Well, it's finished!!

It's got 4 of the Phoenix missiles on it as the two on the shoulders won't fit with the gear doors open!


The rest of the photos are in the gallery.
