WIP Sundowners F-14A



Here's a shot of the cockpit tub from my latest model. It is a 1/48 Revell-Monogram F-14A Tomcat that I am going to finish as the Sundowner's Miss Molly using Zotz decals. I am building this one pretty well straight out of the box for a group build on Aeroscale. I can see that the kit is not perfect even from my own limited research into the F-14 but there is a lot of potential. I also have the F-14D version of this kit so some of the lessons learned here will be applied there. Back to this kit one lesson learned is that Model Master spray cans suck. I found the spray too coarse, it goes on too think and feels tacky. I just finished coating the model tonight and I'm not happy. I'm hoping once the weathering, detailing and decals are done with a matte spray to finish off that things will be different.
