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.

Masks

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

Thank you for watching.
Awesome job, very prolific, it looks almost real
I think the F-14 is one of the most beautiful pieces of machinery humans ever designed. Incredible work on the model, sir.
Incredible work!
Super wow, Shaky Modellbau 🙋♂️ from Germany 🇩🇪 Darmstadt City 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Great job!
very cool!!!!
Good job 👍😊
Absolutely stunning!!! It’s so great to see how you have done all of this. Incredible skills.
The F-14 is such a beautiful plane. It’s a shame America destroyed all of them in an attempt to keep parts out of Iran’s
Absolutely true, its queen in the sky. No other fighter jet has that kind of sexy lines, that's just my opinion .
Not all are destroyed, there's one at Pearl harbor and another sitting on the Flight deck of my grandmother's ship the USS YORKTOWN here in South Carolina.
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.
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
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.
This looks stunning, and the stand really sets it apart. Great work!
stand looks dumb, takes away from the model
What are you complaining about? The figures look really good. Yes tey arent super realistic lookin. But nobody is gonna see.
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. 🙏🇺🇸
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
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.
Nice well done!.. I still have a Fujimi 1/48 F-14A still in it's box more than 40 years ago 👍✈️
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.
Hi, at 3:40, you mention about follow the instructions when you should not have? Then you cut off a piece of the pivot. You said in order to remove the wings once the fusalodge in assembled just off center of the center of the hole so the wing can be taken out,(off). My question is does the wing need to be removed for the build? Could you explain this a bit? I have this model and have opened the package. Have not started it yet. Hope to in the next few weeks. I am just wondering about the pivot wing. Does it need to be removed, if so why does it need to be removed. My model is DOYUSHA. It is all in a print I do not understand. Very high detail. Trying to learn how to build this model. Thank you so much, great build.
It should be VFA 143 not VF143. The Puking Dogs are an attack squadron, not a fighter squadron. Thus VFA 143. VF143 was a different squadron altogether and not the Puking Dogs. Seems a bit silly for the model company to go to all the lengths to make it accurate and the screw up that detail.
I hadn't noticed that.....crazy!
His model is correct. The Pukin' Dogs used to be an F-14 squadron that was VF-143. It didn't become VFA until the 2000's when they transitioned from F-14's to Super Hornets like every other F-14 squadron. I worked on F-14's for 10 years. A-6's before that. The VF-143 jets were on the flight line next to ours.
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!
I know what Kit I'm buying next😁😁, Last one was Revell, and IT was so Bad, I have Up and threw IT away !!
Was you thinking topgun movie references while building this beautifull machine
Your fit for the fuselage main and cockpit was molded properly mine was out by 1 and half mm.
“Splash and Dash” camouflage didn’t weather like this. This is artist license and not even close to accurate.
“Pukin’ Dogs”… Egad, what a godawful name… Nice looking markings though.
Bellissimo modello , painting PERFETTO ....👌 complimenti ottimo soggetto .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What would you think about painting part of the acrylic rods in clear orange?
It would have been cool if you had painted the part of the stand coming out of the engines to look like afterburner exhaust
You brave man, putting the heat gun so close to your finished work!! 😬
I'm currently building the 1/72 academy 12471 18000 kit. It's the same series but my parts don't fit together well at all, I've got massive putty filler the shave and sand back.
What's that glue you are using? The green lid bottle...
What an amazing model you have made, thanks sharing your techniques.
Hi Brian, I'm using Tamiya Extra Thin. Cheers. Andy
what glue/cement do you use? I could really go for that small brush when gluing
Excellent build. Your collection of model kits must be very interesting :-) Regards.
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!
Academy kits are my favorite to work with!
19:44 what team was missing? I looked it up couldn't find it, your voice isn't clear...
Wooden deck tan 3 - yellow 1
Hi, I didn't have any Radome Tan. Andy
My friend gave me a academy f14a half Done he said he painted Matt black to try and get the panel lines then painted it humbrol 129 ....but he said the black still come through and he then painted it humbrol 140 ...... he decided to hand it to me to try and save it
What am I supposed to do .....I have no clue
I've just discovered your channel and am delighted. Absolutely fabulous work.
Great work! Inspiring... plz continue to share work like this
Fantastic job. For sale 1/72 🤩🤩🤩
Perhaps it's just me... but you sound an awful lot like Cap from the DCS Grim Reapers channel... same accent and everything... and I'm not talking British accent - you guys are from the same neighborhood accent...
Great work!
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).
Amazing work. Do you sell these?
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?
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?).
Can you move the wings after finished?
Ha Ha! You messed up. The whole plane is dirty except the horizontal stabilizers!! You forgot to blemish them! Oh the shame! Oh the humanity!!! j/k. ;P
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. 👍
Anybody wonder where the "Pukin' Dogs" appellation came from? There was a party for the squadron to which wives and girlfriends were invited. They had contracted an ice sculpturer to make a griffin (which was the symbol of the group) and one of the wives (or girlfriend) looked at the sculpture and asked "What's with the pukin' dawg?"
History was made that day.
Did you buy a paint mask set or make your own? im having trouble with the white part on top of the wings
Hi, I bought the mask set. Cheers. Andy
I noted that you give needle size and pressure for the first gloss coat. Could you give more insight into needle size & pressure used when doing the panel work. I’m new to modeling and airbrushing. I’ve done a couple of models, and the control needed for panel work is an area I struggle with.
i prefer diecast version of CALIBRE WINGS... at least we can chance many acessories and rear wings
I miss the Dogs, back when we were VF-143, “no bloody A”.
ANYTIME BABY!!!!
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!

Stunning SMS cheers Liam
if i have your patience i could rule the world
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.
Very well done, Sir.
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.
Enjoyed your video very much. More, more and more! Thanks from Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
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...
Holey crap .. That's amazing. .. New to modelling, videos like these really inspire me. . Thaaaank you.
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!!!
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.
I am an avid watcher of your videos and have improved my own technique as a result. Phenomenal work as always! Love the detail!
I made this and the 1/48th scale version. Don’t build the 1/48th it lacks a lot of details
Great video Andy and an outstanding job on the model. Can I ask what air brush you use? Cheers
I learned a lot from this build. I really like how you used the clear colors to highlight the metal exhaust.
I am really surprised that Academy didn't include parts to build it with landing gears up.
A nice model but an awful ugly display stand. Please try it again, you can only make it better...
Excellent work my friend. Congratulations. cheers.
It is amazing. Maybe leds (and optic fiber) can improve "jets" from engines.
Simply beautiful! Looks great!
I love the Tomcat, it's an awesome video :) what's the tool name that you using to hold it while painting? :D
Another great model and a great paint job 👏👏
Outstanding! I wish I had your talent in model construction; your detail is fantastic!
Beautiful Work
Amazing Detail
Thank You Great Man
I wish I had your level of patience and attention to detail.... WELL DONE!!!
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
WIP right now. Thank you for this video, it helps a lot!
Amazing work, I'm learning so much great and easy to understand information and handy tips
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.
Where'd you get that particular airbrush stencil?
Im not sure where I got that one, but AK Interactive do very similar ones.
너무 잘 봤습니다
wow , great modeling !!
thank you for your video
can you show how to move wings?
There's me thinking I can follow along until he breaks out the steel mill lmao. Beautiful model as well
Very excellent
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
MY FAVORITE PLANE....TOMCAT
I love that “making the stand”, requires a workshop.
Fabulous. This is what modelling is all about. Thank you and keep teaching us.
u r so great!!!!!!!!
What do you dilute the oil with?
A-6 Intruder please!
epic. the stands awesome. But could it mirror reflective?
That was some serious craftsmanship...the stand was super professional as well ...final result is just perfect
lke. Which is the size in cm?
トムキャット復活してくれ！
戦闘機の中で一番カッコええわ👍
