POMPEO Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Hello friends, this is my last finished, an F-14A Tomcat of Hobbyboss with excellent and accurate FCM decals printed by the microscale. Whole kit OOB with the exception of the already wounded decals. 9.0 to note that the kit-piece in the difficulty of assembling the engines section of ... photos: hugs and hope you enjoy Edited September 1, 2011 by POMPEO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VFA-103guy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cheers POMPEO!! All hail the new king of Tomcat kits! - Hasegawa's headin' for the swap meet. I wouldn't be too quick to judge. From what I've seen of the HB kit, I'll be gettin more Hasegawa F-14's, but then again, I'm brand loyal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 POMPEO... PHEW!!! GORGEOUS !!! :wub: Very well done Sir, HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel_B Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have to agree about the HB kit--it looks nicer than the Academy, and maybe even nicer than the R/M, but I'll still take Hasegawa every day of the week. That said, this one turned out great. Awesome choice of markings, and I really like the weathering. Nice and dirty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Beautiful work indeed, Sir! Never had a Cat bigger than 1/72, but as there is a 'B' on the way from Hobby Boss I'll have to give it a go for my 'Thief Of Baghdad' project! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Tweeker Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well Done!! Great Markings and weathering. I like the HB Kit as well. Definitely goes together better than the HAS. Now if HAS was to re-tool.. May be a different story. Their molds are getting a little long in the tooth. All I can say is try it before U knock it... Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hello friends, Thanks for all your kind words, I have both HB and HAS kits on my stash, and i post a little comparisson between two Cats here: http://kitmaniac.com/site/?p=120 Im my opinion the P.E. landing gear and interior parts of the HB kit are better than Has kit, but the engine build on HB is impossible, the pieces not fit... on the final, i give 9,0 in 1-10 scale of points. I just waiting for my HB F-14B arrives from Hobbyeasy to start my SANTACAT cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ventris, the FCM decals have a nice fit and not need the great quantity of micro sol and set, this sheet is very nice to application and on accuracy cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
