1/48 kit, Fightertown "Pukin' Dogs Last Ride" decals. Pain-free as far as assembly goes, but do be mindful of aligning the wing-sweep teeth otherwise you'll end up like I did: the wings will over-sweep aft and never be full forward. I put some Nyogel on all the moving parts so they won't stick in the future.

    Besides all the other detailing, the camera pod is a great addition.

  8. Fantastic build Wes, with a great finish. Nice one.

  9. Great looking Pukin Dog! I remember when they got their F-14A birds.

  10. Nice job! Unfortunately Dogs never flew the Deltas - only Bravos. It's a shame really, as Deltas were such a step forward in capability of the mighty Cat.
