3 months ago I ordered some 1/48 kits from Hannants, and because I'm a miser I got them shipped by surface mail, but here they are

Airfix Hurri mk1

Tamiya 109E

Hasegawa Stuka

Eduard 110c

I'm going to work my way up to the Eduard kit, just looking at all those sprues & PE makes me nervous!

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F-6A Mustang, and seven fresh bottles of paint. Some Eagle Strike decals should be here Monday or Tuesday. For the Recce GB. I've been researching the snot out of this aircraft, and have found I have some work ahead of me.

Hobby Boss 1 48 F-14A Tomcat.

Gotta say that based on a quick peek at the contents inside the box, this is a nice looking model kit. A couple of things that I noticed right off the bat:

kit comes with a TARPS pod (which is not used for this kit, probably intended for the "D" model)

external fuel tanks

intakes feature an internal sleeve that should create a seamless intake when assembled

complete missile loadout (6 AIM-54, 4 AIM-7 & 2 AIM-9's)

everything is packaged superlatively, with cushioning material over delicate parts and separate boxes for the smaller sprues (a HB practice carried over from their other large kits)

A couple of issues reared their head in this look see:

Rubber tires & plastic rims

exhaust nozzles leave quite a lot to be desired

The surface engraving is quite nice (very petite), although I am only speaking of looks and not accuracy.

All in all, a winner in the looks department. Of course, we'll see how it holds up in the accuracy and fit departments later. Price is still an issue, although I grabbed this from eBay and was able to obtain this kit for under $60 shipped, which puts it in line with Hasegawa kits in terms of price.
