The air intakes are painted and washed finally and assembled. Hopefully I will be putting the parts together soon and start the rest of the paiting job with the main frame.

F-14A/B Tomcat VF-111 VF-103 (3)
After a trip to Thailand last week, it has been a blazing week here in Hong Kong. So I barely move out sitting with the airbrush at all. But I managed to get a little bit progress for the F-14s.

F-14A/B Tomcat VF-111 VF-103 (2)
Just got a couple of hours free and I could squeeze a little but over the cockpit.
After getting rid of the cockpit, I will be able to move on to the fittings around the frame.
I have always want to paint the display screens at the dashbaord this way for many time. But afterall, I always skipped doing that at all my previou works. In this twin build, I am working on it slowly and in this way, I have the passion to try more differnet steps around.
The way the screen is painted is like this, and it is simple. I just hand-painted some silver on the screen and then with a roughly mixed clear yellow and blue.
The little trick here is that, when the clear yellow and clear blue is roughly mised, some of the mixed clear green will be a bit yellowish and some bluish. By painting this un-balanced clear green, the screen will appear to be more dynamic, and not just a clear green over silver base.

F-14A/B Tomcat VF-111 VF-103 (1)
It has been awhile since my previous build on a Tomcat. Instead of he Fujimi kit that I have done at the start of 2009, I am returning to this Hasegawa kit. I have built the same VF-103 Last Flight a few years ago. of course, the result is not very good in the eye of today. And I will be working on 2 kits at a time so my piles of F-14 can be relaxed more quickly. So let's see how this couple will get along.
These 2 are actually 2 different versions. F-14A follows its own standard manual, while the F-14B follows the F-14A Plus manual. The main difference will be the parts used for their nozzles and some minor parts around the frame. But basically these 2 are the same kits.
There is a piece of photo etch attached to each kit. Each consists of some cockpit dashboards and some cockpit accessaries like mirrors.
I have quickly assembled the 2 cockpits with their respective PEs.
