I have been modelling for around 9 months now & have just completed the Tamiya F-14D - probably the first build I have been truly happy with. I used to build (terrible) models as a kid, 30 years later & a gap in work has allowed me to rediscover the hobby.

Images attached - I am amazed/disappointed at what errors have become visible on a close-up photograph that you do not see when building the thing.

Truly amazing kit from Tamiya - perfect blend of engineering, fit & detail.

Incredible! cheers

Note that unless you just didn't want to, you can post those images full size. For example, right click image and Copy/Paste link into post...

http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...821338DC-3972-4DA6-B460-0C70BDBF724D.jpg

Then add [img] at beginning and [/img] at end,,,

[Linked Image]

...and even reuse it later if you want to.

Again, just fantastic.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

Nice looking Cat! Love the weathering, bet you had fun with all those decals biggrin Worst thing i found about rediscovering building models some 30 years on is that i would love my 30 year younger eyes smile
