mbxxx Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Here is my iranian IRIAF F-14A Ali cat，finished this week built from academy kit，painted with Vallejo air. heavy weathered as this plane is old enough.

invidia Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 great looking tomcat, weathering is good and the 'odd' markings mark for a great plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 lovely build - weathering is just top notch. Always nice to see it in its non US livery. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Great Tomcat there. Up there withe Fred Shammas, maybe even edging it with that weathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Very nice. Just one small thing, AIM-9L is not used by IRIAF Tomcat, it was never delivered. Better go for an AIM-9J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntPhillips Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Great build, and a lovely scheme. Following up on Antoine's post, the Sparrows should also be mounted with fins in a vertical and horizontal axis, like + not X (the top front fin sits inside the pylon).

Better go for an AIM-9J. Yeah +1 on that, didn't have the heart to say myself first. Plus there are lumps and bumps that need to be removed aswell but you wouldn't know it if you didn't know kinda thing. Also I know the sand camo ones didn't have drop tanks, perhaps they do now that they are grey camo? But either way, the way they look is like the intakes are on the wrong sides, because the tanks are 'inboard' instead of 'outboard' on the intakes, and getting these two parts swapped over during the build (if it's possible?) is the only way I can see the tanks end up being mounted like that?
