Been busy with my photography, so I haven't been able to do much with my model kits. I hope though to be able to complete one this year. I've been meaning to do the F-14A Tomcat. But I'm going to need to figure out how to hook up a moisture trap to the airbrush system. Then I'm going to draw lines on a piece of paper and see if I can get straight lines. I don't need to spread flat black all over the aircraft.
The Revell 1/48 Tomcat project has been on-going for the past 5 years. I think 5 years is long enough. As it is, I think I'm going to have to strip the paint off the cockpit and redo it. My flat black seems to always come out glossy. I'm gonna go get some flat-grey and some flat black rattlecans and try to see if I can get a decent paintjob done on the F-14A. If so, then I'll be doing just fine and I can proceed with the rest of the build. I also have to work on the landing gear as well. That might take a couple of weeks to try to get them looking perfect. I'm also looking for some oil wash so that I can dirty up the wheels a bit. Got to stop by the painter's supply store and pick up some oils.
Masking off the wheels so that there isn't any overrun is the toughest part. I can't seem to get the procedure straight. That indecisiveness just pisses me off big time.
Hopefully, I can get rolling and get that stupid F-14 done and complete so that I can get on to some more projects that have been sitting and stagnating.
