Hey Guys,
just finished the Pre-shading 10 mins ago, and will do the first coat over the top soon, this is the first model where i have used an airbrush, alot better than hand painting, !!!!
coming along nicely but thats not to say without alot of effort ! very dissapointed in the quality of the fit , not like most hasegawa kits i have built, but anyway, enjoying it !
hope everyones f-14 is coming along ! will post more photos of first coat later today

Nothing wrong with the pre shade Matt. You might want to adjust the wing glove weapons pylons if they are fixed in position, the missile rails should be parallel with the aircraft centreline ( not toed inwards).
