1/72 Revell F-14D Tomcat, VF-213 Black Lions (TwoBobs, Rampant Lions Over Afghanistan decals)
by Sebastijan Videc
Slovenia

I decided to build this kit OOB with the exception of the decals. The build was pretty straightforward. I added:

- GPS console on RIO's hood
- HUD
- corrected the ECM bumps around the intakes
- replaced the antenna behind the cockpit
- removed IFR doors

Because I was doing a Bombcat, I used the following items from the Hase weapons set 7: LANTIRN pod and its pylon, BOL sidewinder rails and two GBU-16s with racks. The decals are great - it was the first time I used Twobobs - the only complaint is, that you get formation light stripes for F/A-18 instead of F-14, so I had to use those from kit decals...

The plane was pre-shaded, then added an oil wash and finally weathered with pastel (chalk) dust.

Looking forward to my next GB build - the VF-302 F-14A!

Anytime, baby! Always, baby!
