I have two Italeri models of the F-14A.  Your report will be useful to me during their construction.  I noticed a few minor deficiencies in the cockpit that I will have to correct (missing the display on the console on the right side in the second weapons officer's cabin).  A very good report on the construction of the F-14A model.  Thanks for presenting it.

Thanks! I usually write my threads in a similar way. So the next time I'll build that same kit, I'll have some thoughts written.

The cockpit is indeed basic, with a lot of simplifications. But the biggest issue is the fit. It's similar to what Italeri F-16A has. A nice raised detail allover. Not too accurate. But when put in its place, the cockpit has gaps, and misfiting panels. Good luck on Your Tomcat. Post some pics, I love a a good Tomcat WiP.
