Your F-14 is a real beauty!

Like Daz, I find that VF-1 has the best decoration of all F-14 units... followed by VF-84.

So I am everything but impartial!

Are these the box decals?

Great show!

@Daz: agree, I had the same with the old Tempest kit. But some newer kits have Cartograf-decals, especially when marked as "special edition".

Thanks Alex,ive heard the newer kits have cartograf decals also..thing is,as a novice,how would I know this when purchasing without checking the contents..I can't do that obviously.

Hi Daz. You can actually see if a certain kit has Cartograf decals. It's marked in the box. They are putting the logo of Cartograf. They are great quality, one of the best that I have worked with.

Thank you Sean. The kit is great, I definitely recommend it. Good overall fit, no flashing, good quality of the plastic, easy to understand instructions, etc.
