Well damn, you screwed up with the tanks and sparrow my friend

So does anyone have any tips on taking the cockpit section off for re-packing? I've got to bring it back to my place after the holidays, and it's simply too big to put in my car assembeled

That might look funny...no flaps, elevators don't really stay in the pitch position, and no leading edge flaps.

No wonder it really wasn't doing anything...running to autozone right now!

Thanks!

Not sure, it came in an orange shampoo looking bottle. GoJo in there is white, with little 'beads' or 'grains'

That the right stuff?

Got mine today I freakin' love it! Gave it a go with the GoJo on one of the fuel tanks to see how much work was involved...yea...I'm just going to have to live with the spots. Either I wasn't rubbing hard enough (which I didn't want to do), or it just didn't work, either way I'm happy. My only compl...

What is it going to take to get some instructions on applying GoJo? Do I have to make a whole new thread? I've asked twice, and sent a PM...anyone?

Diego

Well, BCA's lost my business for good after this whole shady fiasco Same here, and to think I was going to spend 200 dollars after Christmas there. I said it from the start, that BadCatRob was nothing but a shady fool, I even got kicked from their blog for speaking the truth... ...whose the --- hea...

Can somebody, anybody, please post how to use the GoJoe stuff?

My Tomcat will be here Tuesday, and my P.M. Black Weathering Wash Wed.

I'd like to get started right when she gets here

Well i used the Gojoe on the standard verson and then used the Pro Modeller Black weathering wash on it...I was always planing on using the weathering with this standard version. It turned out better then the spots being on there. This does take more time using Gojoe and it's not bad but i think re...

Oh ok, so on top of it all, you have an MG-42...wow! I thought my Garand was cool!

p.s. I am going to display mine without munitions, as it will be in the cold and dark configuration. Fuel tanks yes, racks for Aim-9/Aim-7 yes.

Might make a custom weapons truck, have a sparrow in the process of being raised to the bird, that'd be cool

Low Viz...so sexy!

Also, did anyone else notice the yellow warning decal to the right of the star is out of place? it should be directly below the RIO seat, partly overlapping the star banner, it's wayyy too far right

I've been thinking of getting an airbrush just for this job. TKO's work was impressive, but I'm not looking for a 100% clean bird. Any way you could film/take photos of a little tutorial on how you did it? I'm new to airbrushing, so any info helps (I understand the 50/50 part, half paint, half thinn...

Honestly...why would anyone want to roll their Tomcat? Diego, good question, you will see when you get your plane, sometimes you want to move it slightly and one of the pegs will fall out, even if you pick it up and turn it around you risk the pegs falling out of place. And one of them you literall...

Booming Island is...they still have the paint master photos, so not only can you get a return (their store policy) but if they dont give you the return, you can burn them on ebay (feedback)

P47, yours looks great! Can barely see any spots!

One thing though (for accuracy) the wings, in flight (which I pressume is what you're going for) would not be swept back 100%. The configuration you have the wings in is for when the aircraft is cold/dark, and parked

Honestly...why would anyone want to roll their Tomcat?

Very cool toyktdlgh

Think you could post a quick video showing you removing a few spots?

You may have saved this baby!

Mine shipped today from Booming Island, will get here (Atlanta Ga) on the 22nd, not bad considering it's half way across the country...damn all you living in Cali lol

I just figure since we'll all be getting ours in the next week, a topic to post photos would be great. I've still yet to see an assembled standard version (execpt Merits photos)

We need a dedicated thread to posting photos of the JSI F-14A's we recieve

What do you mean by 'ladder', the hinge where the ladder is folded up in? Or the actual ladder?

How about posting some photos...

I'd like to know as well, as I'm at home right now, but will be going to home home after the holidays
