This is the Hasegawa F-14A I was building for the Enterprise campaign, seeing as I missed the deadline I am taking a little more care in finishing this off and will continue with the build here.

I had just about got to applying the decals when I ran out of time(I need an embarrassed emoticon here) so I went back to re-scribe the formation lights that got lost in the build I am hopping I can get them to look better than this when I am done.

I then started the long process of adding the decals, I started by adding all the panels back in place temporarily so that I could get the decals to line up properly. I was just about to type that I had to re work the decals at the back but discovered that I did not have to do that and now have to go back and fix what I did.

Cheers Rob.

Rob,
So far your start to decaling looks really good. Nice job with the gloss prep.

Rob, looking good! Go "Wolfpack"!!!!!

Best wishes,

Thanks Guys!

While making the post I was looking for the name of the rear lower fins thats when I discovered that I did not need to take little pieces of decal to make the up turned line on the rear that is left to be corrected.

Cheers Rob.

I ran into a little problem, I seem to have misplaced the door for the ladder and it is needed to continue decaling. After looking through numerous boxes and almost giving up I found it and it has since been painted and clear coated ready to continue with the decals.

Cheers Rob.

I finally got a chance to continue with the decals.

Cheers Rob.

Rob,
Nice job on what looks like a very complicated decaling effort with all those taped on panels and doors. that method does leave you some additional finishing work to do, but there doesn't seem to be a better way.
Joel

Nice job so far,this was one kit that totally whipped me

Thanks guys!

It would be easier if I had done a better job of forming the panels and I wasn't battling cat hair all the time.

Cheers Rob.

Almost finished with the markings.

Cheers Rob.

Nice job on a great but difficult scheme.

Rob,
The decaling is really turning out quite well. Looking forward to finally seeing the F-14A decaling finished.

Aaaaaa,

The wolfpack F-14A, my childhood favorite for the perfect reason that the picture in the airfix catalog was so beautiful.
