1/32 Tamiya F-14 Tomcat

Here's an other BIG ONE from my hands. It's the Tamiya 1/32 Tomcat......I think everyone by now knows the quality of this kit.......in my opinion it's not one of the best 1/32 kits.

One can see that's a bit older kit with lots of fitting problems on many places. Specially the cockpit part was a nightmare to get properly placed in a CLOSED POSITION. At the end of this year Tamiya will come out with another Tomcat with updated armour etc etc.  Hopefully they will update the complete kit.

The complete plane was sprayed with Tamiya spraycan colours. Decals used are from Twobobs and they are the Cream on this "Cake". Yet I enjoined building this model and I hope you all like it too.
