madcat911 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Presenting my go at Academy's new-tool 1/72 F-14A Tomcat built for the "In The Navy" Group Build here on BM. Overall it was a decent build with good detail. Aftermarket used were Fine Molds plastic seatbelts and decals from a re-boxing of their old-tool Tomcat. She is built as Fast Eagle 107 of VF-41 "Black Aces" just after the infamous 1981 Gulf of Sidra incident in which this jet and another VF-41 Tomcat, Fast Eagle 102, shot down a pair of Libyan Su-22 Fitter attack aircraft.

Fox_Two Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Nicely done. Is this the new tooled kit or is it their 1970ish tooling? Overally though I like the weathering and fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best kit out there next to the Fine Molds one. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
