I bought a similar photo in large poster format for my son after seeing the movie in the '80's. It came with an embroidered F-14 round patch. The poster has long gone but I do remember that the resolution wasn't very good. It was a enlargement of a smaller photo.
I've included a photo (not the best resolution) in your In-progress thread showing the tank round end http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/311221-top-gun-1986-f-14a-tamiya-148-in-flight-twin-build/&do=findComment&comment=2990960

I agree about the Fightertown decals. I used them on my 1/48 VF-74 Tomcat. Colors & detail were great.
BTW, I vote for the dome.

Nice!
Looking forward to watching another of your detailed builds ... and two F-14's to boot. Bonus!

Hi Jesse. Wow, it's been a while, but still good to hear from you.
I'm still upset about the PB experience, as are many others.
Thanks for your kind comments.

Awesome! Luv the details.

... I just wish someone could tell me if it's an issue on my end or the site ?
Steve;
Have you tried posting to another modelling site? That will tell you whether it's this site's problem, or not.

... I'll just have to keep my text explanations short I guess.
That's frustrating for sure. I guess you'll have to look on the bright side - more time for modelling.

Cool!
I'll be watching, as well.

Steve, I'm still watching. Looking forward to the final reveal.

She's another one of your beauties Chuck!
It's difficult to tell the difference between the museum Spit & your model.

Looks great Chuck! Nice to see it finished.

I received my Shapeways order today from the US. Hopefully Chuck, you'll be getting your masks soon.

Nice to see this thread alive again.

Very nice!

Well, it's not looking good Chuck ... mail delivery, that is. A local news web site is reporting that "There are around six million (undelivered) parcels sitting in trailers across Canada" & mail volume is currently "three times higher than this time last year". I'm waiting on a order from Shapeways, but I'm not holding my breath. Fingers crossed. 🙁

She's looking awesome Chuck. Hopefully you'll get the parts soon. It looks like the mail backlog is gradually starting to move here in Ontario.

All I can say is "WOW"!

She's a beaut! Great job Steve.
Another suggestion. Can you take a photo of the jet along with something that can show the relative size of this big bird? It would help everyone understand the huge scope of the work & what you've been able to accomplish.

Your afterburners & nozzles look amazing. I can almost feel the heat.
