GROUP BUILD ENTRY no.57
Raffle no.48 

Academy 1/48 F-14A, VF-41 Black Aces
by Trent Voigt (BadCop)

Well, here is my entry for the Group Build - An Academy 1/48 F-14A completed with Detail and Scale markings for Fast Eagle 107 VF-41 SU-22 Killers. It was a challenging build for me with a few firsts - the first time I've used after market decals, the first time I've done a major rescribe (the sides of the front fuselage) and an experiment using clear sprue for the red/blue navigation lights on the wing gloves. Steve, your thread on building the Academy F-14 was invaluable!

The kit was built completely OOB and painted using Gunze acrylics, and given a light weathering with Pastel chalks. All in all a satisfying build that I have learned a lot from.
