DaveJL Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Tamiya F-14D Tomcat in the markings of VF-213 'Black Lions' during their last cruise with the jet in 2005 - 2006. The build thread is here BuNo 164602 was delivered new to VF-124 in 1992, before being transferred to VF-2 in late 1994 and eventually to VF-213 in 1997. The jet saw combat in Operation 'Desert Fox' in 1998, 'Enduring Freedom' in 2001 and 'Iraqi Freedom' in 2003, when it expended the squadrons' highest volume of ordnance - a mixture of 31 JDAMs and LGBs. The jet was retired in 2006 and I believe remains in storage at AMARG. Extras used included a set of Quickboost seats, a Master pitot & AoA probe and a GBU-38 from the spares. The ROVER antenna was made from a styrene sheet. With my other Tamiya F-14D: Thanks for looking. Dave 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Fabulous Dave and I particularly like the slight paint difference with the Phoenix pallets which really adds some realism and interest. Great work! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looking very much the part! Great work! These last flight specials are really special! Somehow with these new big T Cats I miss the intresting all out kneeling down stand on the cat...though.. they look so steril...or parked...or AMARGed....
