1/32 Tamiya Grumman F-14 A Tomcat

For me, as a big fan of the F-14 Tomcat, it was always a dream to have a big "cat" on the shelf.  But there are only two manufacturers, which have Tomcats in 1/32 Scale, so I chose the more expensive one from Tamiya in the 1994 Version.

The kit is well detailed and took alot of fun to build it.  The kit contains rubber tires, metal supports for the landing gear, wings and canopy.  It also contains three figures and a decal sheet, which allows you to make three different machines in Low-Viz scheme.  

I chose the CAG Aircraft of the VF-21 "Freelancers".  Building the kit didn't involve too many problems, only the intakes need a little bit care, because the fit is not so well.  But that's the only point, which make could cause problems, the rest fits well.  The aircraft was painted with colours from Tamiya, Revell and Testors, it was also a little bit weathered with oil colour.  So that's it, I hope you like it.

If you have any questions just mail me and happy modelling!!!
