F14 Tomcat Project Phase 1

After my first stint with scaled plastic modelling that resulted to a junk pile -worthy F22 Raptor, I decided to pursue my new found hobby with a new victim, the F14 Tomcat.

The model is a Italeri 1:72 model purchased ages ago when my Raptor is just half-finished.

Hopefully, i get to finish this one with half the time it took me to get my first scale model from the packaging box to a secluded area beside my bookshelf.

I tried to assemble the body using tape and blutac just to see how the model would look (love this part of modelling)

wings swept
