1/48 Tamiya F-14A Tomcat

There are still a couple things I’d like to do, but for now I’m going to call it done. What an absolute joy to build. There are many more of this kit in my future.

Sweet, Darren!

Oh wow…and the engines are winking…

Very nicely done!

That was very fast,well done,it’s got me stoked to get mine going also.I will also use some AM decals.Again very nicely done.

That appears to be a really nice kit and you’ve done an excellent job on this one. Keep up the good work!

Very very nice Darren!

I just went out on the weekend and purchased myself one of these kits. The reviews i’ve read about them made it too hard to keep resisting.

[:P]Very nice…and great photography!

Exceptionally fine work.

When I photograph my aircraft I usually use focus bracketing. Did you? Or did you just use a small f stop like f/22? The overall shots look like the whole aircraft is in focus so whatever you did, you did it well.

Just amazing!! I’m still torn if I should do mine in Checkertail liveries, or go with the christmas checkertail :wink: Any words of advice for the build or things to look out for along the way?

Wow…gorgeous. Those cans are well done too. Thanks for sharing…

Great work Darren, I like the panel lines, the clear blue on the front canopy windshield and the exhaust wink.

I can tell that the Tamiya F-14 is a superior kit compared to the Revell I built.

Really great job on one of my favorite aircraft. I built the Revell kit because that’s what I can afford. Gary

Very nice. I tried to build one a couple of years ago but it didn’t turn out. Noticed you used the decals from my old squadron (VF 33). Starfighters forever!

Not bad! Not bad at all!
