Tamiya F-14A Tomcat

Build Notes

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. This 1/48 scale Tamiya F-14A Tomcat represents one of the finest kits in my collection. The fit and finish straight from the box is exceptional, requiring minimal filler work. I added aftermarket cockpit details from Eduard and used Alclad II metallics for the exhaust nozzles.

The variable sweep wing mechanism actually functions on this kit, which presented an interesting challenge for painting. I chose to depict the aircraft in the markings of VF-84 Jolly Rogers, arguably the most iconic Tomcat squadron.
