Progress Dec. 4th 2005- F-14A Tomcat Aircraft Model

Did some work today on the Cockpit regions of the craft. Worked on sub systems, the joysticks in the cockpit were so tiny!! Also began final coat of paint on the internal cockpit, began painting the top canopy area and it is drying in front of me as I type. Nose will then be final sanded, nose of the plane attached, puddyed (terrible seam lines everywhere) and sanded, etc. Will then work on body of the aircraft, finish that, then begin final paint on the body, possibly after X-mas come back and add shadowing, etc.
