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.

Multiple award winning model builder provides insight and step-by step instruction on how he built his Tamilya 1:32 scale, F-14 Tomcat diorama. Unbelievable results. Great for inspiration and reference.

Technique: Detailing Aircraft Cockpits


The first step in nearly every kit I have ever made, it's also , to me, the most intimidating as it's always the part that people look at first and always have the highest expectation for detail.

Found lots of instruction, experience and inspiration to share. I have not even gotten through them all yet (so some may be garbage) so please leave me your thoughts if you find them helpful and which ones you found to be not so helpful!
