Great work everyone. I decided to finally start my Academy 1/48 F-14A Tomcat.

This will be my first 1/48 scale modern day aircraft for quite some time. This kit number 12230 is identical to kit number 12253, just a different decal sheet. The kit contains 222 parts, with only 154 being used, plenty of extra parts left over.

The past days I've cut out and cleaned up the parts, then did a dry fit, using masking tape to hold the parts together. I'm not sure what part 15 and 16 are, they can be swung in or out.

I have a feeling this Tomcat is going to be a paint hog.
