Thanks, this is the LAST low-viz triple gray plane I’m building! I have done so many now, I’m tired of it. Now on to some high-viz planes after I’m done with this one.

The Lo-Viz planes look good but the Hi-Viz colors really pop.

I know low-viz obviously makes more operational sense...but hi-viz is so much more fun to model! This is coming out great.

Color modulation and different panels etc looks great. I want to do a couple hi-viz builds as well and found out that Caracal are coming out with 1/48 S-3A Vikings in hi-viz/old school markings this summer.

Awesome!! This is looking really outstanding. Love the camo work. Realy gave it a lot of interest and that’s a really cool scheme you’ve picked out.

I want to do a couple hi-viz builds as well and found out that Caracal are coming out with 1/48 S-3A Vikings in hi-viz/old school markings this summer. And with that big tail the Hi-Viz markings are very pronounced. I wish someone would do a new tool Viking. The AMT kit is getting hard to find

Saw this and got pulled away BUT I'm back now to comment on the amazement that I'm seeing here. Beautiful paint and decal work on this one Mark. I love seeing these 14's being built up and this one is coming along very well.
Great to have you here man.

Update 5/8/24 I try to do most of the weathering during painting stage, so it helps to finish things up. Cleat flat, Panel line and overall dirt done, used Flory washes so far. I still have to do oil and hyd staining, and also exhaust nozzle weathering. I had missiles painted, but I lost a sidewinder, so I have to assemble and repaint another, luckily, I have 3 of these kits waiting to be built as well, just a small setback. I am already ordering parts for another Tamiya F-14A, so the disease is progressing.

Absolutely stunning. Your painting skills are top notch. The variations in the paint really catch the eye. Thanks for sharing this Mark.

Looking Very good. I find it amusing Tamiya has marked the intake parks with L and R... it's like you will be installing it and a voice in your head will yell "NO, YOUR OTHER LEFT!"

hobbynutmark, I got to thinking about this after catching part of Top Gun in a video. I was wondering if you've had any progress on this great looking Tomcat as of late Mark?

Yes, actually is done except for missles and an in-flight base/support. I have had to work on another commission project for someone else, so the missles are still waiting for decals.
