It is a kit, Hobbycraft 1/72. Still have to do props, more Nazca Detail decals, landing lights, exhaust, light weathering and clearcoat.

Hey there,

Very nicely done! It looks like you are a plastic modeler with years of experience behind your belt? I have been building in past 40 years and I am so tempted in doing airliners now. DP

DP Airliners are a whole different beast. So may disagree, but there is a little more "forgiveness" with a 1/48 F-14 than a 1/144 737, that's been my experience anyway. Much smaller scale, straighter lines, more perfect curves, it's a challenge, but the end result can look better than any manufactured airline model. You should give it a try, give the flat paints a rest!
