1/48 NMC F-14 Tomcat
Posted by Darren Roberts on Monday, July 6, 2015 11:55 AM

Here's another Tomcat added to the collection. I'm about 6 Tomcats away from having one from every squadron. This is, of course, the venerable Monogram kit. I added an SB cover set and Verlinden resin seats. The markings were sourced from a 1/72 scale Phantom sheet. Not perfect, but close enough for what I'm doing.

Thanks all. I've got VF-41, -124, -191, -194, VX-4, and Top Gun left to do. There are a couple of others that I might do if I have space left on the shelves. Once they're all done, I'll take a picture of all of them together.

Sweet modeling on your Tomcat(s).  I was a flight deck trouble shooter in VF-114, Aardvarks, from 1975 to 1978.  Can you post a pic of your VF-114 Tomcat?  Thanks.

Here's the VF-111 jet. Sorry it's in TPS paint.
