This is the amazing Tamiya 1:48 scale Tomcat kit. One of the best kits I've built so far. The quality and fit is superb. I start with the cockpit and go through the process of completing the major steps of building the kit, including some light weathering.

Well done my friend!! 👍👍 I don't have the patience or steady hands to do what you do!! More tomcats please!
Thanks 👍
Looking at doing a 1/32 Tomcat 😬
Awesome 👍👍 are you willing to build something and sell it?
Yes sir I’d be open to that
@@scalemodelpursuit stellar! Anything tomcat hahaha doesn't matter what squadron.
Once again strangely relaxing to watch. I will need to stick to Dinosaurs and Starships for now as just don’t have your skill and patience.
Maverick would love this big girl.
Lots of NICE work congrats on your build 🥳. Built a few of these kits myself excellent kits. HAPPY SCALING 👋.
Nice video and Great build!
One of the best modelling F14 i ever seen!! Great Job! Greats from Germany
Thanks a lot!
Nice build!
Perfect work 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
I do really like the way you've painted the model. I would have gone easier with weathering, expecially on the wings junction, looks more like rust to me, but apart for that great build.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!
@@scalemodelpursuit keep going 😀
Deep bow !!!
Haha, thanks!
Hi, very nice build. I'd like to ask, what light color paint is that? Is it Light ghost grey or a white?
Hello, thanks for watching and great question. I primed the whole model white @8:10 to keep the final paint on the lighter side so I could do post shading. The paint mix shown at @8:33 is a custom mix. I was trying to get close to the color image sheet included with the model, which I believe Tamiya says is Light Ghost Gray. You can really see the true light gray color @14:30 with the wing against the paper towel. The couple drops of yellow I added gave it a warm tone. Thanks again for watching -> blessings
Great work. Dropped you a sub! Makes me want to try building airplanes.
Thanks for the sub! Planes are fun 🤩
Great job there. I would like to ask how would you be able to apply the yellow star decals to the blue painted area at the rudder? Thank you
Hey there, thank you, and thanks for watching! I bought a Micro-Scale decal set, and the stars are all connected on one transparent decal, so it was easy to apply the decal and adjust the position with microset decal solution. Right at 13:06 in the video you can see the outline of the decal.
@scalemodelpursuit thanks for the prompt reply. I would like to know how can we remove the outline here. Again, thanks for the good reference here.
@scalemodelpursuit Hi Sir, can you teach me how to remove the outline?Also, I am currently at the stage choosing tamiya f14A and f14D, any recommendation?
@zhuhenry9586 to eliminate the outline, after the decal is dry, I gently wipe the decal area with a soft damp cloth. This will remove any of the remaining decal chemical on the surface. Then I spray a couple of thin gloss clear coats over the decal. The decals I bought for this model are very thin, so the edge disappears. Tamiya decals are thicker, so when I use them I spray a few more layers of gloss clear over the decal, then carefully sand the edge away with 1000 grit sandpaper and work up to 6000.
From what I’ve seen the Tamiya F14A is also an awesome kit, mostly the same as the D kit. So I think it comes down to personal preference. I really like how the engine nozzles look on the F14D so I went with the D kit. I think the D model may have more modern weapons and targeting pod included in the kit, but not 100% sure on that.
I do plan on building an F14A in the future, because I really enjoyed building this one! Good luck with your build and feel free to ask questions once you get into your build. I really appreciate you watching and engaging in conversation with me.
@scalemodelpursuit thank you sir for the patience and teaching. Looking forward to your next video!
