Cool Cat

I suspect you used both pre & post shading to achieve this look?

Cheers

Bobby, that weathering job is absolutely beautiful. You nailed the look of a low-viz USN jet. Well done.


TOMCATS 4EVER,

I'm not an expert but it seems you used rather unusual payload configuration. I like it.

Really "DIG" your F-14D.
Since you know something about F-14's maybe you can help me.

I am building Tamiya's 1/32 F-14 into a "B" version and using the ZOTZ decals for the Jolly Rogers.

It says the upper color is FS 35237, Medium Grey. This seems "dark" to me. Is this correct?

What was your technique in achieving the panel lines?

I was going to prime mine in grey then use black for the panel lines before laying down the primary colors.

What color did you use for the rubberized canvas aft of the wing roots?

Thanks
