Hi. This little kitty was on my desk for over 2 years and beeing ignored for a long time and was occupying valuble place and attention:} So I decided to do OOB and finish it off and leave my perfectionist dreams for another kit. Revell's 1/144 F-14s are really nice little kits as most of their other newer models. I did nothing special other than the pitot tube, or Alpha probe I think as it is called(not a Tomcat expert to be honest)please do correct me if I am mistaken. I generally don't arm my aircraft but ths one is one of those which deserve a good dressing up. I also shot a photo together with a previous unfortunate Dragon kit.








Have fun...

That's great! I like small-scale a lot and this looks really nice!

Great little builds, Yalym. Those Tomcats look great - especially considering the scale.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much gentlemen. I guess I'll be doing a few more of these. 1/72 F-14 is too intimating for me:] It is rather big(anything larger than F-4 is "big" in my opinion). On the other hand good kits have too many parts which is definitely going to outstrech my attention span , or way too lacking in detail. So yes I am happy with these. Let's see if I can build a VF-1 kitty with Ferris camo...

Yalym, nice looking F-14s. The weathering on a small scale model is impressive too.

Best wishes,

Ian
