Morky Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hello so that´s the last big jet I´ll show you today. It´s also from tamiya :) It shows a Grumman F-14A Tomcat (kit version 1994) in scale 1/32 . As a big fan of the Tomcat I wanted to have a big one on the shelf . The kit from revell, germany is much cheaper, but the kit you can throw right way into the wastebasket , fitting is very bad and surface details , too. Except the seats , they are better than the tamiya ones :D . So they came in ;) ! It shows the markings of the CAG-Bird from the VF-21 "Freelancers" , enjoy the pics and let me know your opinion about it :D . I think this one came on ARC as a gallery entry, too. No matter , here are the pics for you again :D Yours Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wing_Nut Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Another outstanding job Morky!! :D Where do find the room to display these beasts?? I barely have room for 1:48 scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robban75 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Beautiful work! Love the F-14! Btw, what's the difference between Tamiya 1994 version and "pre 1994" version. Is it just the improved canopy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flynavy Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 i was told the pre 1994 version doesnt include things such as the TCS, bomb rails, etc. Its based in an early F-14A version and not the upgraded A's they just retired from service Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iron Eagle Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Ahh... I knew this looked familiar! It's the one from ARC's Gallery recently featured in a daily update. Nice job once again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Mullen Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Beautiful work! Love the F-14!Btw, what's the difference between Tamiya 1994 version and "pre 1994" version. Is it just the improved canopy? The differences between the Original #6301 and the '94 #60303 are as follows:- NACA Vents added (Front Fuselage) Added ECM Bump to boattail (#A2) Intake ECM Bumps included (#D26-D29) Added a new Sprue H which includes:- Mk82 Snakeyes and Bomb Racks Improved Exhaust Nozzles TCS Chin pod (the old ALQ-100 is still on the E Sprue) There may be some other detail changes, but I no longer have the Original kit.
