Description

Super Detailing the F-14 Tomcat is a full-colour, 128-page, A4-softcover book chronicling my efforts to enhance many of the detail-rich areas available on Tamiya’s F-14D Tomcat, including the cockpit tub, ejection seats, main and nose landing gear legs, main and nose gear wells, intakes, exhaust nozzles, and various airframe details. Also featured is a new technique — Layered Ink Patina — I developed for achieving a realistic base patina for modern US Navy aircraft, and a brief look at some complementary weathering techniques (a deep dive into weathering would likely need it’s own book!)

In addition to hundreds of work-in-progress photos, Super Detailing the F-14 Tomcat lists many of the tools and techniques I used, information about Tomcat kits and products, along with 4 mini-profiles of other kits I’ve made in the past few years.

Content is presented in both English and Japanese throughout, with all English written either by an English-speaking editor or by myself (as opposed to machine-generated translation), and the book is bound in conventional western format.
