F-14A Model

This book contains detailed instructions on building the F-14A Tomcat 1/48 scale model aircraft from Tamiya. See a review at www.detailandscale.com/scale_model_book_review_How_to_Build_Tamiya_F-14A_Model_by_Glenn_Hoover_2017.html I take the model kit instructions from Tamiya and break them up into individual steps. I reorder the steps so that the small pieces (antennas, etc.) are assembled last which reduces the risk of damage when building the model. The steps are organized to insert the paint and decal steps in the best spot. I also incorporate Eduard’s Photo Etch sets 48909, 48910, 49805, and 49806 in with Tamiya’s instructions. The PE steps are colored making them easy to skip if you just have the basic model. The actual instruction section contains 1105 steps and 136 figures that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece.
