1:48 Hasegawa F-14A Tomcat - VF-41 Black Aces

Morning Guys

Here's my lastest build off the bench, Hasegawa's excellent F-14A Tomcat. I really enjoyed this one, the only slight problem was geting the Aires pit and the Verlinden set shoe horned into the nose.

If anybody would like to see WIP shots just let me know.
