jean Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) 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! JR Edited April 5, 2015 by jean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardotdr Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thank you all for the nice comments! Are these the box decals? >> Jean - yes, the decals are the ones coming in the box. Here is the link to this particular kit (Academy's website) >> http://www.academy.co.kr/eng/1p/1p_plaview.asp?pView=PLA0000001&pCode=825&pScale=SCALE00003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) @Daz: agree, I had the same with the old Tempest kit. But some newer kits have Cartograf-decals, especially when marked as "special edition". Alex Edited April 6, 2015 by alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz 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. See the link below http://www.academy.co.kr/Library/Openwysiwyg/popups/BoardUploadFile/72_F-14A_VF-1_Wolfpack_eng_main.jpg The best markings for a Tomcat. How did the kit go together? I'm thinking about getting this kit, Your's is great looking Sean 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
