Re: MATCHING PAINT ON JSI F-14

MM Lt Ghost Grey and Dark Ghost Grey do not match. The Lt is close but you can easily see a difference. Anyone else with help matching the colors for the Black Knight F-14 would be appreciated. John Sorry to hear this John. Like I said though you'll probably have to play around with some other gray...

My part starts on the bottom of page four and the rest of it is all me, the other guys disappeared. My other one is under 1/18th F-14A " Black Knights " Tomcat, ...

Re: MATCHING PAINT ON JSI F-14

The colors for the BK jet SHOULD BE FS 36375, Light Ghost Gray for the bottom and, FS 36320, Dark Ghost Gray for the top. I strictly use only Model Master enamels because I believe their colors match the FS colors the best. You should test these colors on some scrap plastic first before putting them...

Re: Decals for f-14 wanted

Apparently Draw Decals does not do custom work, according to mutt71. I'm surprised to hear this because they redid my national insignias and nose art for my 1/18th scale F-14B conversion.

Re: In Search Of 1/18 Scale Pilots..

Steve, how hard are these to fit in the cabin? The BBI aircrew will fit inside the cockpit without any modifications but, it's tricky and must be done with care. The aftermarket resin ones fit extremely nice but, they must be painted first and then assembled, inside the cockpit, piece by piece. If ...

"OOMPA" did an outstanding job on her. Nathan's nozzles looks great on there as well. I do see the antenna now in these shots. In your Facebook ones, it looked missing. Now get her on that stand and put here in a safe place this time !!

Re: Decals for f-14 wanted

This VF-84 sheet and the Zotz VF-111 "Miss Molly" are the only two out there. $20.00 for the VF-84 sheet is a steal. Brian ( Fightertown Decals) told me he would never do another 1/18th scale sheet because this sheet was his worst selling decal sheet ever. :( The Zotz sheet is very hard to find nowa...

Steve.. Thanks for the heads up. Painting is no problem. Have done many figures in many different scales.

Re: In Search Of 1/18 Scale Pilots..

These are very nice, I had a set a few years back for my Tomcat but, sold them. One thing you need to know before purchasing them is they don't come assembled, they won't fit unless your cockpit is out of the jet. They are resin and must be painted and put together piece by piece so they fit. Not an...

Sorry John, it's sold. It would not fit the Tomcat cockpit anyway.
