fewr9fkr9595 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Very, very nice and what seems super quick too as the kits only became available last week? Or do you have friends in powerful places? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 What a beauty - great work and a great scheme. You need a matching Vark Spook now....!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Superb! I was going to do that scheme as well. I particularly like the difference in colours on the missiles (from a geek point of view). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air-to-Air Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I was wondering when someone would get around to starting a Work In Progress on this kit - I was pretty surprised to find this in Ready for Inspection. Fast work, and a great result too. I really like the Vark scheme, would love to do one myself one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten years ago, we were graced with an excellent F-16 kit that was and still is highly praised. The best Viper kit ever produced. The F-14 fits that bill for its type. It's the best Tomcat kit ever produced. Every bit as good and maybe a little more as the Viper kit was for its release. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's a fantastic kit and I enjoyed building it immensely. So much so, I want to build another right away. However, comma...it's no quantum leap in quality, or innovative features. They could have released this kit five or ten years ago, and it would be just as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon382 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 This really took just 11 days?!? Would have taken me 11 months to get anything looking that good! Very well done with an excellent model of my absolute favourite aircraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
