I am pretty happy with the new Zoukie-Mura F-14J . The cockpit detail is allot better then the Hasegawa and Academy phantom kits. The fir of parts is another plus. I cant wait for thenm to release the F-4S next .

Cheers Brian

Great progress, looks like a great kit, they should down size it to 1/72, I see it has the proper rear cockpit detail for the USN versions..

Going with the markings of the VF-114 Aardvarks , but can be subject of change 🙂

Cheers Brian

Looking good Brian, will tag along on this build.

I have got to say Brian , that this kit looks amazing.
One of those on the definite list.

Brian, with the engines at an angle, the thrust pushes the aircraft straight and makes the wings always at a slight "angle of attack." This helps the smaller high-speed wings & creates some constant lift. Slow planes with large wings don't need this but fast aircraft with necessarily smaller, thinner wings for speed need a little help. This helps most at the slowest speeds, like during take-off & landing.
