Took the Tamiya F-14A plunge...

Thanks for the help as always everyone. A little update on progress so far, started on the cockpit and everyone is right…the fit is amazing so far.

Found a shop that sells paints and I quickly bought some, even saw they had mastermodel color number FS 36440 on the shelf. Quickly scooped it up, got home to notice the bottle that I bought was in the wrong spot on the shelf. DO’H!! So instead of having a light gull grey I came home with Light Grey. sigh FS 36495.

So build is at least started and I will have to go return said paint for another which is about an hours drive away. Will post pics when there is some decent progress if anyone is interested.

I just looked at a great base at the Cincinnati Scale Model show. It’s made from an 18” square piece of floor sandpaper, the ones for the big power sanders. Check it out…
