Hello!I am Albert from Greece and this is my F-14A Tomcat from Tamiya. I have used the Eduards interior set and resin seats from Kinetic. The panel lines were rescribed and a lot of extra work was done to refresh this old model. There are many issues with the Tamiya Tomcat but at least the shape of the F-14 is correct and the landing gear is amazing! The extra parts provided in the reboxed version are very nicely detailed and iclude weapons loads,exchaust cans and a LANTRIN pod. The model was constructed with the the general shape of the Tomcat in mind so there are no open airbrakes,ladder or any kind of panels open. Also the stabilators are inlined with the fuselage and both the engine cans are set open unlike a parked Tomcat This model won the third place in the IPMS Greece 2008 show. I hope you enjoy the photos.
