InFlames Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) About a year ago, me and my buddy Mitja decided, we should build the same kit from our stash but do it in our own ways - we picked GWH F-14D in 1:72 and picked VF-101 Grim reapers squadron, me going high vis, Mitja low vis. There was some aftermarket used - I used metal pitot tube, resin wheels and burner cans, while Mitja went with wheels and ejection seats. For the purposes of my vignette I also used excellent Reedoak figures. My vignette is called "Last season, baby!" and shows preseason photo shoot of one of the two display aircraft for the last Tomcat airshow season in 2004. Happy New Year!

2lefthands Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like them both! The closed canopy a tiny bit more, because it shows the beautiful curves of this plane :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Incredible skills, those are both extremely impressive. Great patience and fine motor skills to achieve this in 1/72! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat101 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Fantastic builds! The Tomcat is my favourite aircraft and the Grim Reapers my favourite squadron. I attended the 2004 Oceana Air Show, great times. I really miss seeing the big cat fly.

Billy54 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Nice couple of Tomcats, and I really liked the Fallon diorama, thank you for sharing your images. It's a shame that the F-14 was obsoleted when it was at its most lethal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset at the peak performance and so much upgrade potential... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
