    You are my hero. The F-14 is such a time consuming project specially if it's a cheap brand. So I might get myself a Tamiya now.

    Seen a few modelers online now. You are the best so far. More attention to detail in cockpit, extra investment on aftermarket bits. And more importantly, you don't over weather the exterior. Well done.

    I saw different types of models for the f-14 tomcat, and the Tamiya brand was like $80+$10 shipping and the academy brand was $36+$10 shipping. I’m getting the academy one but I was wondering if that is a good brand. I know tamiya is a really good brand for models but it is a little expensive.

    There's something very calming in watching you work. It's like watching Hendrix play guitar. It makes it seem possible...maybe, just maybe, I can strike that power chord just the way he does. So, I try and build these same models. But, like my attempts to play like Jimi, my modeling attempts are no way comparable to yours. Oh master... maybe one day. In the meantime, I watch, I learn, I try again and again. Great videos.

    Only thing missing is the wear lines from where the wings sweep back and forth. There are a couple nice builds that have them on it and they look great. Just can't see paying $80 or $90 for this kit. I just got the Hobby Boss F-14D Tomcat 1/48. It is a great kit, comes with over 400 parts.It is kit #80368 with the black tail fins for the Grim Reapers. Worth every penny.

    • @Headmod

      Hi , i leave the wash for 15-20 min then i clean it off with a peace of dry cloth or paper napkin , for the areas that are difficult to remove i use Odorless enamel thinner , don´t forget the clear gloss coat before the wash so that its flows easier and easier to remove

      Because of the way hydraulic pressure bleeds off as the engines shut down, the nozzle of the first engine shut down opens fully , while the last engine´s nozzle closes completly ( left engine). Only on the F-14-A version! The B and D versions have different engines
