Well after what feels like an absolute age I finally managed to finish this baby. It's an Academy 1/48 F-14A, the kit was on whole not too bad but I had some major fit issues with the join under the cockpit and there was very little detail here too so after lots filling, sanding and re-scribing I manged to get it somewhere near ready for painting. Oh and most of the decals fell apart during application....JOY! I added an Airies resin cockpit + some Eduard photo etch.
This has been a bit of a labour of love though as the Tomcat has always been one of my favourite aircraft (who didn't watch Topgun and want to fl
F-14's and make love to Kelly McGillis?).
Anyway here it is for you to see, all coments welcome.
All the best
Chris
