Yay paint!




One is light blue the other light green (though the pics don't do the best job of showing it) The third cockpit is going into storage for another tomcat in the future, I am going to use a spare Hasegawa cockpit for the South African F-14.

Cockpits look awesome man!  Those old Revell birds always seem to have excellent cockpits OOB.  Can't tell from the photo but have you done or considered dry brushing the consoles?  Would pop all of that raised detail nicely.

Any hints about the paint schemes or ammo loads yet?  :wacko:

Yeah they are dry brushed, just doesn't show up well in these pics  :thumbsup:... I really want to get the forward fuselages set up before I drop any more hints, so hopefully a few more days

Awww what the hell one of them will painted like this:



Just imagine it with red stars  :cheers:

Have I mentioned Gekko is awesome?



Here is a Hasegawa cockpit I plan on using on the SAAF Revell Tomcat... Fit is tricky to non existent so additional styrene and cutting was required
