there are several ways to strip the chrome. if you are from the us you can use this formula cleaner. in europe mr muscle should do the job

by the way I finished the building process of my 1/48 Tiger yesterday. I will post some pics when it is painted

I thought that would be interesting. I do a YF-19 right now.... will post some pics soon.

I think in the last hobby japan was an instruction how to build one...:/

thank you very much....my next project will be the Zero VF 0S I wanted to do the 1S first but I have these photoetched detail sets and I`m a little afraid of doing something wrong...

then another question....you thin the oil with terpentine, don`t you....doesn`t it destroy the acrylics?

@grayson: I know that my panel lines are really dark. but I like it that way. I think that undelines the comic-effect a little. It is a technique I use on my gundams too. I don`t know if a oilwash would work on a kit painted with waterbased acrylics.

I think it is the No1 sheet. Weapons are added:

the macross sign is bigger then the actual one in the kit...

by the way armarments are finished 85% just the decals are missing....it will be finished by today!!!

Only the missiles are still missing, but the will follow soon. This way you can see the underside better. The decals from Macross are from a special hasegawa add on sheet. The plane itself is a 1/72 Revell F-14-D:

In my personal opinion, this is one of the best Valkyries I have seen ever!!! Two thumbs up...and one additional thumb when I have a third hand...

Really cool colour choce...the blue is something, which is not seen often. I prefer more weathered things...but it looks great!

the hands are from kotobukiya and you can get them at hlj. 600 yen each pair. They are not poseable, but you can change there poses before painting. They are much cheaper as b-club hands and really cooler...

the mobile suit is a 1/144 star jegan from g-system 75% completeted

I did many Gundams before, but this is the first resin one I`m doing, his hands are pewter hands from kotobukiya, because the resin ones were to static in my opinion:

it took me a little longer to take the pics bacause I`m working on a Gundam too, which is more important in the moment because it is for a contest...so finally another shot from my baby...I`m painting the panel lines now. the upper side will be finished today

nice kits...really....I love the details int he cockpit

mr beans has another door-opening mechanism... very nice indeed!

As I said before...I just wanna make it a F-14 from the macross zero universe, not exactly shins...It will be from the un navy, not the un spacey. I will use some of the decal sheet you can buy extra from hasegawa

I will take new wip pics by tomorrow, I just started the panel lines....I don`t wash them, I do them by hand with an isographic pencil, like i do thwm on my gundams...looks good but is really hard work... I will take a pic from from the lower part too.

It looks really cool. the coloursheme is really working well. Two thumbs up!

look at my F-14 in the model kit thread...I like it..

so this is the Revell 1/72 F-14 D Super Tomcat.

OK, I will sand the squares away, thanks for the info.

...paint it

the seatbelts have been scratched:

really cool. The weathering is really nice...I like this thing a lot!!!

this thing is really great...good work!!! I love it! Now I really have to build a plane....where is the glue??? anyone seen my glue???

I don`t know...There is only written 1/72 Grumman F-14D Tomcat on it...
