well the 1/72 kit is ok, but not spectacular.
I have it in the box at home, it looks more buildable than the overengineered and overpriced Hase kits.. the decals aren't even near as good, but it comes with weapons..

For overall accuracy I really cannot comment.
just impressions.

Hi ,

If we talk about compare this kit - To Hasegawa - only one thing spokes for F-14 B from Italeri - Price !!! . Private - I have F-14 B from Hasegawa in VF-103 Painting - and I say awsome , Italeri model price is less -- but in Poland we have nicked name for all those type production - "śrut" in english is like "junky" - but this only My opinion .

Best Regards
MLD

That's funny, since I had the F14 A bombcat in 1/72.. so we're both pretty much wrong this time..
I wrote from work, and when I got home saw it was teh wrong kit I was giving advice about.. DOH!

funny though..
