My Special edition F-14 paint job.

Here is the spotted cat before.

Can you tell where I'm going with this paint job?

Here's a hint.

How about now?

It's not finished in the final pictures. I have about half of the bird weathered. I have a few touchups here and there. Then some final coats of clear flat. This is the special edition F-14.......don't be surprized to see it on ebay starting at my cost (bird plus paint) in about a year. I don't have a need to have two 1:18 tomcats. Both my son and I like this one better than the VF-84 bird. Who knows maybe I'll do them both in this splinter or Powder Puff scheme.

Anyway, I hope you like it.

Can you tell where I'm going with this paint job?
Based on the colors used it looks very similar to the kind of "aggressor" type schemes you might expect to see on aircraft on the flightline at Fallon, although the splinter pattern is not quite like anything I have previously seen before. Is this based on on actual AC...?? Either way it's looking very nice. 8)

Sorta kinda like this, at least in terms of the colors used...
