trying to find a way to make the intakes easy as there are several more of those to be done in the future. when the putty dries there will still be lines but once i sand and do this again it should be acceptable

really happy with the top of the jet here. this is why i love hasegawa. no other 72 tomcat kit can look this realistic in this area

welcome Roland and Maciej. There is some more sculpting to do and then I will start preparing this for paint. I will close the pit first and then black base and masking of the stripe. The refuel probe cover and some aim9 rails will have TPS paint as it will be a nice detail and the reference pictures have this. In the end I am so used to the gawa f-14 that a lot of the issues no longer bother me haha except for the wings and clear parts, those are impossible even for me🙂
