Sig Saur & Son Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Did you see Anatoly's 1/48th scale version of 159008. Wow, what a great job reproducing this Tomcat.

PBoilermaker Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 For a second there I thought that first pic was the recent VF-32 retro F-14B until I noticed the chin pod and the classic auto in the back. Very nice shots! -Mike Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Plymouth Duster or Dodge Demon ... Anatoly's Tomcat is fantastic ! Gregg Link to post Share on other sites
Sig Saur & Son Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 You can ground them, scrap em, and cut them up, but you can't stop us from building models and/or posting images of the greatest Navy Fighter ever built. Link to post Share on other sites

VelAn Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi... Thanks for responses about my work. I have some questions about 159008 photos: - what source of these photos? - is original board on first photo or a museum copy? Regards, Anatoly. Link to post Share on other sites
Sig Saur & Son Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 The first one is from my collection, there is no name on the slide mount. The second came from the USN and the third I shot at the 2005 NAS Oceana Air Show. Cheers, David F. Brown Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 David, the first picture appears in a few publications, one being Color and Markings F-14 Tomcat, East Coast Squadrons Gregg Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 The kit is a great build! As a bit of constructive criticism, he missed one tiny detail... (it's evident in the second picture) this jet should have the old-style interim beavertail on the back of the jet, not the flatter one we all came to know and love in the late 1970s!

Trigger Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 You can ground them, scrap em, and cut them up, but you can't stop us from building models and/or posting images of the greatest Navy Fighter ever built. Okay, so where are the Crusader pix then? Link to post Share on other sites
