    Tamiya 1/48 Tomcat F14-A

    Completed. Thoroughly enjoyed every step of this build. Tamiya engineering was the best I have witnessed yet, no confusion or ambiguity about fit. 100% Out of the box, only addition I would have made would be PE seatbelts. The decals looked cartoonish, so I left them off. Painting done with MRP range, all sprayed beautifully. Oil was was my own mix. The large decals were not too bad for Tamiya, although the smaller decals do stand out from the surface a bit.Click image for larger version

            Lovely Jack. Bird looks great and the figures add a nice touch.

                        Nice job Jack. A big old kite isn't it, imagine putting one of these down on a carrier.
