Model Build: F-14 Tomcat

My first model was a SnapTite F-14 Tomcat. Months later I am looking to take another stab at building an F-14 Tomcat. This time not a SnapTite kit but Hasegawa's 1:72 High Visibility kit. With it's raised panel lines it's a kit I have had floating around for a while and been avoiding, but have decided to take a shot at learning how to work with raised panel lines rather than sanding them down and scribing new lines.

Not the Super Tomcat as documented by Genessis Models in their great tutorial series I have collected, this playlist and resources are more generic and assembled from a number of different sources.

Model Build: Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker

Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker Air Superiority Fighter

One of my all time favorite fighter planes, the SU-27 is a gorgeous piece of engineering. It just looks fast! I am still waiting to add a scale model of this to my collection, but in the meantime I have not wasted anytime hunting down video build for various different versions of this aircraft.

I want to give a shout out to Phil Flory from Flory Models for his excellent 9 hours of video going through a complete build of the 1:72 scale Trumpeter kit. I really enjoyed this build and his videos immensely, so much so, I subscribed to his site. I highly recommend Flory Models to anyone who's serious about joining a modeling community.

But wait ... there's more!

I stumbled into a couple of tutorial sites for the SU-27 and was compelled to bookmark them here so that I will always be able to find them . I hope that you will also find them inspiring and useful!

The most amazing aircraft model I have ever seen! See the howto build here ... www.naritafamily.com
