This is a Hasegawa F-14D. The painting and marking of the model are reference from the Ace Combat 6, the X-box game. The plane is named as Halloween.

These above photos are introduced before painting. I have added some detail to the cockpit and rebuild the cover of panels.

Due to the model being old, I have to pay more attention to fix the uneven areas. This process costs plenty of time.

The pumpkin color is mixed from Mr. Color #49, #59 and #318, the dark green is #12, and light green is #304. The markings are #12 and #72.

I used my computer to draw the pumpkin and print that image on paper for masking the wings area. And the small bats, small pumpkins and the text are done using computer cut to cut masking film.

I used Tamiya enamel paint for weathering and dirt. The process is adding diluted enamel paint on cotton sticks. Then scrib the stick on the suitable area gently. The excess paint will stay on the edge of the area. After several time and different color, you will get the result. This method was explained to me by my friend, thanks Arnold.

Thank-you for your looking, hope you like it.
