Here are my latest completed kits.

The first one is Revell/Monogram 1/48 F-14A using Hasegawa decals and Academy exhausts. It is heavily weathered using something I saw on another forum called the salt technique. The salt technique gives it the appearance that the paint is stained with salt water. I also tried doing the paint fading but not that good at it yet.






The second Revell/Monogram 1/48 F-14D Tomcat has Superscale decals and was weather using the same salt technique but more subtle.

Comments are welcomed as usual.

Dear Twong,
These Tomcats are nicely done, bro. Your passion for building is great, bro.
Keep them coming.

TS. :D :lol: :D

It is always cool to have F-14 models display at home.

salt technique? care to share! very realistic indeed

Thanks Sky, I had an injury for a couple months so I am making up for lost time.

Thanks TS, I love building. I started building 10 months ago after a 10 year hiatus.

Thanks Flylice, I have 6 built with 7 more stashed away.

Thanks Zendened, I have included links to the salt technique.


This is not my model but I will show the link to the salt technique on how to do it. It is all in English.

Hi Zen,
It was fun to do and look forward to seeing your results. I tried 3 times and each time it looks different. That way it gives variety.

Hi Raz,
Thanks for comments.
