Ohhhh, that does look good!

Oh yes it does....I want to make one of those.

I'll be in for some F-14 1:18 decals too Fightertown. Would like to do a repaint on one of them.

Thanks Guys, I took my time with it over the weekend because i had to do Christmas shopping as well. I did use GoJoes on it and then in some areas of it i used a fine sand paper to feather things out and then i put the Black wash on it after i was done with the wash i used Dullcoat on it and and it ...

and here she is all done...It turned out very nice and much better then the spots all over it. I weathered her with Pro Modeller Black weathering wash and it works great. All you need to do is brush it on wait about half hour and wipe with a wet rag and this is what you get.. Afgter the holidays i w...

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 rep...

Thanks Zach,
Does it matter which gray primer you use ?
Tamyia has a 87042 , 87026 or 87064 .

I have to order all this and what size Tamyia masking type should be used a 10 Meter Roll or 18 Meter Roll ?
Thanks,
I think the Light Sand code is TS46 correct?

Can the cat be disassembled easily and re-packed in the excellent packaging box?

Yes, It can be disassembled and put back in the box it came in.

Zach,
what are the Tamyia paint codes i need to do this repaint ? I am going to try this myself after looking it over today.
Thanks,
JP

I got my lighted version today and the spots are not as heavy but still there and the Navy is on both sides.
JP

Bad Cats is now saying the same thing...

DUE TO THE HIGH COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING THIS LARGE PLANE, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ON THIS ITEM FOR MINOR FIT AND FINISH ISSUES.

You know The Flying Mule has the special lighted version on their site now and the spots are there but not as dark as the others i have seen.

Thanks for the tip Zach.
JP

Zach,
Great repaint on the F-14. Now how well are those spots on there ? Can they come off with something (acetone nail polish remover or thinner) without having to repaint the whole Tomcat ?
JP

I have kept out of this since the debate about the spots but i feel i was let down by JSI and sitting here and wondering what the outcome is going to be for this 1:18 Tomcat, Cancel order or get it and just be happy they made it and re-airbrush it a little to make it look a little better. :? One thi...

count me in too...

A member posted the pictures of the paint master JSI F-14 on another site early this morning. Looks pretty good.

That would be the one i would get too..I'll pick up 2 of these for my F-14 and paint their helmets yellow.. :) How much are these ? JP I found them @ my Big Lots for 1.50 each. I have an extra if need one, just PM me. Razor[/quote] Thanks for the offer but i found a few of them already..I think the...

Oh yea they had the Flying Tigers P-40.s and Mig-15 here in Calif like Hworth said and the store Mgr told me they just got the P-40's in over the weekend..I had no idea that they would still get these since they are no longer being made..Unless their warehouse is stocked with the old 21st planes.

The one I have is on bottom row middle with the red helmet with lighting bolts. The pilot on the right of him is also a good candidate for a melon transplant: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3200/pg014942973dt.jpg That would be the one i would get too..I'll pick up 2 of these for my F-14 and pai...
