In this video I am building the new 2019 tool Academy 1/72 F-14A Tomcat in VF-143 Pukin Dogs livery.
In the video I use a mix of Mr Hobby, Tamiya, AK Interactive, Ammo by Mig, Vallejo and Microscale Industries products. I use AK Real Color and Tamiya paints to paint the main surfaces of the model.
I use a few extras with the model, here are some links:
Pilots and ejector seats.

All products used I paid for myself and there is no paid promotion in the video.

Thank you for watching. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I think the F-14 is one of the most beautiful pieces of machinery humans ever designed. Incredible work on the model, sir.
Absolutely stunning!!! It’s so great to see how you have done all of this. Incredible skills.
I did this kit some months ago. I did it with Eduards big ED Photo etch and aftermarket decals for "Jolly Rogers". This kit is still my favourite kit til this day.
I’ve only had good results with Academy kits. They don’t have a lot of the detail of Tamiya and Hasegawa but the engineering is first rate.
I'm blown away with the detail, it means a lot to me because my uncle Jack flew the F4 in Vietnam, in 1969 I was 9 and Jack was home for Xmas and I was in awe. Thank you for great content. 🙏🇺🇸
There is something about the f-14, just finished the iranian f-14 and even with all my errors is still looks stunning just because its such a beautiful airframe.
Timeless design, come with good proportions
I think your errors made it more realistic 😬.
Yeah, Iranian Tomcats look cool loaded with Russian Vympel missiles.
I learned a lot from this build. I really like how you used the clear colors to highlight the metal exhaust.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Considering I absolutely LOVE the F-14 Tomcat and plan on building several of these new Academy kits your video was just what I needed. It was perhaps one of the most useful videos (at least for me) that I've ever watched. Again, thanks & Great Job!!!
I have never used an airbrush. I'm impressed that there is so little overspray. You wield it like a scalpel. Nice job. Very fun to watch.
Simply beautiful! Looks great!
That was some serious craftsmanship...the stand was super professional as well ...final result is just perfect
Fabulous. This is what modelling is all about. Thank you and keep teaching us.
I've just discovered your channel and am delighted. Absolutely fabulous work.
Amazing work! I've never had the energy to complete a model, I had an f-14 in the box for decades. This video helped me get some of the satisfaction of seeing one completed well, thanks.
Dude, I've just found your avenue...about 2 weeks ago...smooth is all I can say...appreciate your time...
This is my third go around with this build... the details with which you go to in these adventures is second to none...also the background music...plus your jigs...
Being forced to stay low, by are environment as of late...has caused me to become homebound...
Your escapes in time are well worth it...
Keep them coming if you can...
Thanks again dude...
This looks stunning, and the stand really sets it apart. Great work!
stand looks dumb, takes away from the model
Best model of a Tomcat ever!!! The custom stand is awesome!!!😳😱
To this day, the Tomcat remains the best looking heavy US fighter. Those curves, that wide bay between the engines (even though it wasn't exactly the best idea under certain conditions), the angles... I think only Russia's Flanker stands up to it in terms of looks.
Agree. F-14 and Su-27 are the best looking planes.
I am an avid watcher of your videos and have improved my own technique as a result. Phenomenal work as always! Love the detail!
Awesome job, very prolific, it looks almost real
Nice well done!.. I still have a Fujimi 1/48 F-14A still in it's box more than 40 years ago 👍✈️
I wish I had your level of patience and attention to detail.... WELL DONE!!!
Very excellent. I hadn't thought of using clear orange. I'm thinking of using pastel chalk on mine for that discoloration. I'm currently building this myself and I haven't attached the wings yet. I put those pivot cards into place, and I figured I'd slide the wings onto those cards after I've painted them.
Another great model and a great paint job 👏👏
Incredible work!
Great work! Inspiring... plz continue to share work like this
Holey crap .. That's amazing. .. New to modelling, videos like these really inspire me. . Thaaaank you.
Academy kits are my favorite to work with!
Wow - looks fantastic!!
Will have to give this kit a go, I served on the USS America right after this squadron left, but still remember seeing their patches in the ready room
Bellissimo modello , painting PERFETTO ....👌 complimenti ottimo soggetto .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great work!! Thanks for sharing!
Dude, the model per se ended excellent, but your stand is really something else. Awesome work!
Outstanding! I wish I had your talent in model construction; your detail is fantastic!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. 😬👍
Fantastic job! Very interesting to know about all of your tools and equipment in your videos: tweezers, bending tools, painting stands, airbrush, compressor, airbrush spray booth etc. Will be interesting if you mark them also like you naming paints, sanding paper numbers, airbrush pressure etc.
Great video, love the outcome
너무 잘 봤습니다
wow , great modeling !!
thank you for your video
in the past few years i have started putting all my aircraft on sticks, effectively rending them as training aids, but i get a lot more enjoyment out of them as i can hold them, examine them, and fly them around.
Beautiful Work
Amazing Detail
Thank You Great Man
Damn....that's one of the most enjoyable & informative tutorials I have watched in a very long time....a stunning end result!!....subbed.....
Thank you.
Hello!
I came across your videos yesterday by accident but today became a subscriber. Thank you for doing these videos. Seeing fighter planes and jets reminds me of when I was a kid and we’d visit my cousins in another city. My cousins had a den/rec room with a lot of planes and helicopters hanging from the ceiling. To me, as a 5 years old kid, it was like going to a model aviation exhibit.
I’ve dabbled a little in model aircraft when I was a teen, but it’s not really my thing. Cars in 1/24, 1/64 & 1/87 scales are my thing. However, I do enjoy watching others build planes, jets, helicopters, etc., so I am enjoying your videos.
Wishing you all the best with your shop. Hobby shops that I could actually visit are getting scarce here in the US. They either go out of business or go exclusively with online shopping.
I used to spend my lunch break sitting at the foot of Miramar Naval Air Station strip to watch these come back from the desert. They would loop around the tower and come back around to land. They would open out their wings and throw the plane on it's side to brake. You could just sit and listen to them throttling to land. Can't tell me they weren't having a blast!
Wow. Superb Andy👌🏻🙂
Great job!
Amazing work, I'm learning so much great and easy to understand information and handy tips
Beautiful!
Excellent build. Your collection of model kits must be very interesting :-) Regards.
Very well done, Sir.
A masterpiece!
Enjoyed your video very much. More, more and more! Thanks from Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
So amazing. Thank you
Another great video. Thanks for building, painting and posting. You have some exquisite skills Andy
I miss the Dogs, back when we were VF-143, “no bloody A”.
ANYTIME BABY!!!!
Отличная работа👍
Точно такая же модель лежит, руки ни как не дойдут, ждет своего часа
Wow, perfect👍
You got some good content, looking for more vids, and hope to see your channel growing!
Excellent work my friend. Congratulations. cheers.
awesome. I wish I had a drill press, a metal stamper, and a band saw to make the stand.
Nice...you do amazing work.
Excellent 👍
Badass!
와 정말 똑같아요, ,,,,신기신기
Hello! Very nice video - was interesting to watch and final result is great! F-14 is a beautiful fighter, maybe I will build another one for my channel and collection. Keep up great work! Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Whaou amazing, thanks
Awesome...
F-14 один из самых красивых американских самолётов.
I'm happening on different f-14 model videos as I just ordered a Tamiya F-14A Jolly Roger kit. I'm also thinking of making it in flight (I shall see how easy it is to seal its wheel flaps). What I like about its kit is that it has fully adjustable sweep wings. I'm into 3D printing and design....so I'm going to be doing my stand as a 3D print. Have in mind a Jolly Rogers base, a gimbal that lets you change the axis of the fuselage (that will screw in the underside of the fuselage inbetween the front and back Phoenix podsz).
The only thing missing is the glove vanes. Nice work.
Omg the stand!!!!
WIP right now. Thank you for this video, it helps a lot!
Good job 👍😊
Excellent 👌
Amazing
Very excellent
Pretty good ✌️
very cool!!!!
Ace mate 😉👌
OMG!! Great!!
Top job ,thank,s
Perfect
Superb
I love that “making the stand”, requires a workshop.
Very nice,!🤗
The model build and painting was great and then you go and top it building that stand.
I reckon there's a hole in the market for stands like that
You brave man, putting the heat gun so close to your finished work!! 😬
Fantastic paint and weathering skills!
I've learned a lot watching your videos and your work inspires me. I noticed something familiar in this video - a cleco! I've used clecos a lot in the past...
Everyone loves a cleco! Thanks for watching, Andy.
Dogs are the best!
What an awesome build! I love watching the "Masters" at work, always looking to pick up some tips and "Oh, that's how they did that"! What a beauty the finished product is!
One question...what is the "handle" you're using during painting? Looks like it attaches to the engine exhaust area and curved for a good grip?
Keep putting out videos...I always learn a lot! Maybe someday, with much practice...
Cheers!
Hi Michael, Thank you. I held the model using one of these crocodile clip parts holders, with a clip on each end of the flexible metal rod. 👍
Your fit for the fuselage main and cockpit was molded properly mine was out by 1 and half mm.
It is amazing. Maybe leds (and optic fiber) can improve "jets" from engines.
A-6 intruder, make us proud!!!
Great job Andy! I was in the Pukin' Dogs in the mid-90s & had a blast (made deployments on the Ike & George Washington). You did a good job of capturing the personality of the Tomcat & the mottled grey look of being well-used but still reasonably clean. Even though 1:72 isn't my favorite scale, there's still just as much work as 1:48. Too bad you didn't use the photo reece TARPS pod (if the kit came with one?).
Great job! I bought this kit after watching your video. I was wondering what were the transparent sticks you used to make the stand? I also wanna build a flying mode and I am looking for the materials. Thank you
That stand is such a cool idea!!! Fantastic work, sir!
Awesome model, There's just 1 little oversight in it. On the engines there is a piece of the fuselage molded wich should be in gray paint not in metal. Other wise beautiful build.
Hi, Thanks you the pointer!
Yes that's always a pain in the arse masking off and painting that bit on f-14 kits!
Have you considered an led kit under the rods?? Apart from that what a beautiful piece of work well done.
Or using a mirror underneath a similar type stand. That stand is seriously bad ass. Seriously awesome I bet there's a market for those I'd buy one
Super wow, Shaky Modellbau 🙋♂️ from Germany 🇩🇪 Darmstadt City 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Looks amazing. I thought of having a go at modelling again, (used to enjoy them as a young lad!) but now realise I could never do one justice having seen your work. Also wondered what all of the equipment and numerous paints etc all cost? Looks like painting and finishing is the real challenge, not the assembly?
Fantastic job. For sale 1/72 🤩🤩🤩
