As I have the project to assemble 100 F-14´s in the 1/144 scale, the 1/72 will be for later. I have the new Academy, the old one, the two types of Hasegawa, some Fujimi, Revell, Italeri and Hobbyboss. Boxed kits.... Fine molds and GWH are missing. And two matchboxes ready. A lot must be taken into account before purchasing a kit: price, model and modeler level, "what do you intend to do?" and others. I don't build models to participate in contests, I don't count rivets, building for me is fun. However, I have been collecting information, reading articles, views, reviews, watching video compilations and have my own considerations and predilections. About kits for F-14 Tomcat 1/72: the new Academy, Fine and GWH models are technologically studied and planned, with a great fit and parts suitable for versions A, B or D, at the customer's choice, except for decals. Fujimi and Hasegawa are equivalent in fit and number of pieces ... the first brings the missiles, the other has PE, but both have decals with excess film and they are one step behind the new kits. Those of other companies ... as was said before, on the shelf, everyone is beautiful Tomcats. Since the question was about shape and dimensions, perhaps this article will help more than my words. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/305514-gwh-172-f-14d-tomcat/ And at the end, I will have at least one from each company in my cabinets.

The kit has many reviews on the web and I never heard anybody speaking about this error in the decal . Yes, the kit is the best on this scale to the F-14 Tomcat, but the decal is wrong. They represent the retirement scheme of 2006. The E was inverted. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000972418L.html

I bought one recently. I noticed the error in the decal on internet views and reviews. Is there any replacement decal?

Thanks for the help, Dave.

I am assembling this bird on 1/144, using Rose-ridge decals. I need a help: what are the colours of this Tomcat?

Great job, man! Awaiting for the final result. Hey, put an F-14 D Tomcat from VF-31!!!!!!!!!!!!
