This is the 1/72
Hasegawa tomcat kit (Top Gun kit n°K141) with a Verlinden detail set (n°1155)
and some pieces from a Fujimi F-14 (for the radar and the crew boarding ladder). I
used Lifecolor paints ( ref UA078 for the green, UA089 for the sand, UA143 for
the brown and UA021 for the grey ). The decals came from the new
"Hi-Decal Line" decals sheet (IRIAF and USN desert tomcats (1/72 and 1/48).
Thanks to Diego and Brian for the quality of their products.

It's not the first
NSAWC plane that I made (2 F-16, 1 F-18 and an other tomcat, only 1/72) but
certainly one of my best. I don't used an airbrush yet, only paintbrushes.
My next project will be the same
plane but with the second version that you can find on the same decals sheet :
the splintered NSAWC tomcat : the "10".

Thanks again for
the "Hi-Decal Line" decal team and for Andy Mullen and Patrick Spitaels,
