Here I am, sitting and watching my kids run around our vacation house in Florida. It’s Disney World time again and among the suitcases and bags of toys, my B-57 model made it’s way here. It’s coming along quite nicely. I spent last night in bed sanding the nine internal bombs before going to sleep. Vacation should come more often than this.
Last years vacation to Florida brought along Academy’s 1/72 scale F-14A Tomcat. I did a little pre-painting and building before we left and was able to get most of the build done. This was a typical Academy kit. Little filling and sanding was required. I used a set of Jasmine decals and Hasegawa pilots. Also, I used a set of Eduard remove before flight flags. You’re supposed to relax on vacation and I cannot think of a better way to relax here.
you can’t go wrong with
a) Tomcat
b) Jolly Rogers
c) all of the above 😀
good work and looking forward to see the B-57!

Wonderful kits! If only I’d had those during my model-mad childhood. No time now, alas.

Love the tomcat. My grandfather used to fly one (as well as an F-4, F-5 and a million other planes). So cool!
