Spanjaarda hell of restoration. you really really gave it a complete new life 🙂
I have only one question. The streaks in the wings seem to have been done in a strange angle... they are almost 90 degrees in relation tot he wing tip... that could be right on a WWII plane with wings set 90 degrees to the fuselage... but I believe they should be more or less parallel to the fuselage? See picture 40 for example. the angle does not seem right and the wings are open. if they go to swept position they will form an angle of 45 degrees with the fuselage. In picture 46, streaks in the fuselage are in one direction while in the wing, they point in a completely different one.
sorry, this is maybe a bit of rivet counting in an otherwise excellent model
sorry to be so critic with your first album here. welcome to SCM. looking forward seeing more models from you

SpanjaardHi Alireza, if i am not mistaken, those steaks are caused by air flowing through small holes etc, so if the plane is usually flying in one direction, the streaks should have all more or less the same direction. in the Tomcat, since wings move, it may have several directions. But since they fly most of the time with wings closed, the streaks should appear in lines parallel (more or less) to the fuselage, with wings closed.
Although i may be completely wrong! i found a picture, with what may be streaks... exactly as you did them....[img1] maybe one of the F-14 experts around can help.....
