I promise I am still alive, just wanted to post when I had something a litle more substantial to show. Almost done with the ordinance. Just the brown and yellow strieps and then some cleaning up and weathering. I am in the process of cleaning up the seams that are quite even and attempting to make them flush. So, enjoy.

I am still alive, honest! I am calling the completion of the weapons done. Driving myself crazy trying to work on all of the masking. for the plane itself, I will be going over some sanding then I should be ready for priming.

Yup, that looks like an F-14 alright. Very nice. Can’t go wrong with the cat.

Looking good.

85% done with weathering. Still new to doing this, so not necessarily the best, but happy with it. Also noticed that once I startgetting urned out on a build, to do something else. The mistakes are obvious they make me cringe, yet I am happy with how it is coming out.
