And of course we are gonna kill you if you don’t give us also this super loved camo:
Joking of course… :rofl:
Keep on this baby and Thank you very much.

True Nikos, but we also need hi-vis repaints of VF-1 Wolfpacks
-
PLEASE, if these are going to be used in campaigns- include VF-154 and VF-211 in their last low-viz schemes for realism. VF-84 has great heritage, but the that skin has been done to death and is only really useful in shooting down Mitsubishi Type 0 fighters……
F-14A= VF-154, VF-211
F-14B= VF-11, VF-32
F-14D= VF-31, VF-2 -
hello stingray … i love F-14 and if you want help to color the skin finished his work count on me
regards WL
Roger that. Thanks man. Like I mentioned in first post textures are mostly done and since I come from the skinners side of the game I’ll take the pleasure of skinning it myself. If I run into any bottlenecks later on I’ll give a heads up.
Tomcat fan note #1: Note external antennas and you’ll know which variant is depicted here :D.

@ neystratiou, Chuckles, Turkeydriver:
Guys, cool it :D. It’s a long way to dealing with luxury problems such as ‘which skins are we gonna need’.
What I can say now is that the modelling/skinning will go in the order of D > B and maybe just maybe eventually A.
The late F-14 as the premier fighter-bomber-interceptor is the machine with the most use cases in any campaign staged between '99-'06 (for USN that is, IIRAF Tomcat surely is one of the most intriguing issues in modern mil aviation).
That being said as some of you may know I have quite the stencil collection for more than 45 Tomcat squadrons going back more than 8 years so skin variation shouldn’t be a problem.
And neystratiou rest assured I won’t forget about everyone’s fav pirate…
Jolly Rogers Tomcats (B only) active until 2004 so well in the target timeframe.

Filled the hole on the back. I first rebuilt the top part of the glovebox so it can attach to the front fuselage. The rear part of the canopy was built separately so the line flow is authentic. Then adapted the part you almost never see, the connector between the front fuselage and the inner intake frame.
Gettin’ close to having all the main parts roughly done.
Pink Matcap, Baby.

Keep creating THE baby… :drink:

Amazing model. Congratulations stingray_SIX_TWO, outstanding work.
Best compliments and regards.Note: F-14 very difficult model. I’ve tried a few years ago (Rafale and F-18 ). But very hard work. Therefore I give up.

Thanks a lot man! I think you’re right that the Tomcat is exceptionally shall we say ‘complex’ when it comes to the surfaces and parts so I’m trying my best.
You’re Superbug looks like a beautiful base for further development! The proportions look spot on!

Assigned some materials and fixed some things like mirror settings on the rudder actuator housing and sharp edge assignments. Moving on to the vertical stabs and wings…last two images show correctly sharpened angle on the rear deck near engine housing.
I’m sure this isn’t best practice and goes against some modeling rule cuz it’s thinking too much in terms of texture instead of form but it’s amazing to see that you can apply the late Lo-Vis Navy camo almost accurately just by assigning material to the faces…underside not done yet obviously.

is FANTASTIC !!!

Nikos.Agree in full!
