F-14D Cockpit

Ok, I am really happy. I have finally signed up under photobucket and can now post some pics. My wife took off with the camera to Kentucky, but now I am going to be a photographer. Thanks Photobucket.

These are pics of my F-14D cockpit which I have since put in the plane. It is the Revell 1/48 kit, and needless to say it is not going to be the best a/c I put together, however it definately is not the worst.

I am kinda dissappointed with the fit of this kit in general, but I put all setbacks aside and am still having fun putting it together.

Without further ado…

Thanks for looking!

Looks good to me. [:)] I have a hard time painting cockpits. Maybe the brush is too big, but I’m using the smallest brush I have. Anyway, look’n good.

Thanks for all the nice comments, i really appreciate it. I know I didn’t paint this exactly like a real one, but I like the different colors. I am really just practiced on this cockpit, and from here on out they will be hopefully correct.

I have this paintbrush that I have had for approximately 10 years and it is just a stub of bristles. I dab a little of whatever color I am going to use and touch where I want it. I hope this isn’t too vague. If I get the color on the base coat or happen to miss [:D] , I go back and touch it up with a 000 brush.

Sorry if this dosen’t make sense, I suck at trying to describe how I do things. [;)]

I could never make up my mind which knob and button is to be which color (yellow, white, red, whatever). Bad news for me, because when I try to make random weathering effects, they don’t look random at all.
