Hey Gang, I was on a photo search today and ran across this Tomcat I built a few years ago. I'll try to get some underside pictures and report soon. I actually have to work today! Later

Not a bad model for an inexpensive Revell. Some fit issues and wrangling to get it all together with wings working. Excellent decals, even I got them on. Nothing special on my part but I thought it turned out well as a comparative 1/48 display model. It's very visual and the wings are fun to play with too. Max
Wow that's a SUPER clean build! Very very nice!

Even tough this is an older mold, it actually builds into a very nice model without denting your wallet. I have built many of these as comissions as As and the later updated Ds with the included added parts. The pit detail is really good and yes there are a few fitting problems here and there but they are easily corrected.
You can actually tweek the wing gear mechanism so the wings sweep 75 degrees and overlap the horizontal stabilizers to save deck space while parked aboard the carriers.
You did a great job and a very clean build on this old gal.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
That looks amazing! You did a great job.

Oh wow, very sharp clean build there!
I built that kit, same decals and everything back in the late '80s I think??? Well, she didn't turn out anything like yours, since the plastic was already grey I didn't paint the upper surfaces and managed to spill the white paint I used on the underside everywhere...

Ah, my all-time favorite kit! You've done a wonderful job on it. I still need to do that paint scheme. I've built a few of them over the years. I think I topped 75 with the last one I did. :-)
As the others have said, that is one super clean build, Max. Impressively clean.

Hey Thanks everyone! I notice that the word is clean. I do take the Tomcat to the car wash weekly and towel it down carefully. Max's museum is spotless. Kidding of course, thanks again Gang,
First off....this
is a very impressive build from a Revell boxing. Good stuff Max.
and secondly this........................is just an amazing number of built F-14's . Wow!

Thanks! and that F-14 collection is amazing for sure! I wonder which one(s) are his favorites?
I like the wall as well. Ex-pilot or crewchief?

Hodakamax Thanks! and that F-14 collection is amazing for sure! I wonder which one(s) are his favorites? Max
At the moment, it's the VF-33 lo-vis.
Ah, that's a nice one Darren, More more, we're still not satisfied!
And here's another shot with wings out. The models wing linking system was kinda clever and works well. As I remember it took a lot of patience and planning to assemble the fuselage and wing linking system. One of those scary glue together moments but that's what we modelers do I guess.
