TKO211 1/18 F-14 REPAINT TRIBUTE PAGE

I love the wolf pack. My first toy jet was an ertl diecast f-14 with wolf pack stickers and it ruled. Because of the wolf pack i have a 8,000 space wolf army for Warhammer40K (same wolf head). my other love is the jolly rogers, but i think that is tied to my love of pirates and robotech. When i get get my First JSI f-14 i am going to make the one of the pilots Roy Focker.

Why stop here? If I had money I would pay for a Macross scheme.

That would be really sweet. If i had a lot of money i would do a four plane macross set one for each color Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue.

Here are some of my 1/48 macross boys ready for battle.

All my Marcoss toys are 1/60 because I like variety. 1/48 scale only has VF-1 Valkyrie.

@jetsmaniac
Yeah the 1/60 are cute, but I like mine big!
I do however have a range of figures and scales not just 1/48, But I am glad you could assume/insinuate that I don't or that I don't like/have variety thats real big of you.

Anyway my picture above was of a five valkyrie Fireteam to try and show some of the different colors used by macross that are Jolly Rogers.

If you feel that way I apologize, but I am surprised that my words can be understood that way.

My preference is for the balance between biggest scale and most choices. Macross 1/48 only has VF-1s and one YF-19. On the other hand, 1/60 scale have original Macross, Plus, Zero and Froniter, at least 7 types. Taste is very subjective and no one's is better than others'.

I hope there isn't another one to interpret my words as you did, or I need to attend writing class. Enjoy and share is why I come, not argue or "up yours". Hope you think so too.

No problem, as usual- I wish I had your planes I painted for you in my own collection. The more I think on it the more I think I need to do a Low-Vis VF-2!

thatf14guy · Post by **thatf14guy** » Mon May 17, 2010 3:12 pm

you should do it man, that would be awesome! my next scheme will be vf-31 f14a version. so wish me luck.

I had a spare hour last night as I watched paint dry on a VFC-12 aggressor Hornet... So I unpacked my new spare F-14 and started masking off the canopy. I laid down the primer coat and the ghost blue - grey color for my low viz! This one is gonna be MINE!

Those look great TKO. Excited to see your Low-Vis Tomcat.

Yeah, beautiful repaints. Great job.

Well, hopefully, the piece de resistance will be the last Tomcat, my Tomcat! According to TKO, it is supposed to be museum quality

...sorry Zach, couldn't resist (I love to add the pressure)

. I have been waiting since first week of January, so starting to get anxious.
