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.

Model Build: F-14D Super Tomcat

Grumman F-14D Tomcat

The first kit I actually completed since 'kick-starting' this model obsession was a Revell 1:72 scale Snap-Tite F-14 Tomcat. This was great as it allowed me to focus largely not on the build but on what interested me the most; painting and weathering.

Perhaps I will post photos of the final result. Nothing to write home about, but it was enough to really get me stoked up. I highly recommend Snap-Tite kits for people who are excited about finishing kits more so than building them.

Anyway, huge Thank You to Bobby Waldron of Genessis Models for this EXTENSIVE series of 26 videos with over 13 hours of instruction, focused on the build of a Hobbyboss 1:48 scale F-14D Super Tomcat.
