F-14A tOMCAT VF-84, Jolly Rogers. Fine Molds 1/72
Back again with a new project, ended in January for a collector. The Fine Molds Kits, is excellent, perfect fit despite complicate scomposition. It could be build oob, adding only seat belts. Unfortunately, as often Hasegawa does, no weapon included, so it ws necessari to prchease separately the same brand weapon set, including Phoenix, Sparrow and Sidewinders. I pesonally like aircraft with flap and slat extended, but this option wasnt included. I dont know why, I decide to rescribe pannel line of this kit too. The bird was painted mainly with AK Real Colors. No extra decal purchesad. Pilot and ejection seat come from theAerobonu range. Hope you like it.

Your scribing work looks excellent, and the build is a beauty. Classic scheme looks great as well!

Very nice. What do you use for scribing ? Something I want to try myself and no real knowledge which tool works best.
Thank you

MRP scriber, the MR scriber narrow, for straight line, and the needle for round or oval panel.
