F-14A Tomcat VF-41 august 1981
Hello,
I choose to represent this plane because when the old 1/48 F-14 Monogram appear, a french modeler dicided to publish this plane in “Fana de l’aviation”. I read this book a lot of time since 1982 and i am very interesting with this engagement.
This year is the Tomcat year with the Tamiya kit and i decide to have my Tomcat too. But no 1/48 in my workbench… just the 1/72 Hasegawa model. The decals come from Academy kit and the pilots from Fujimi. The base is home made.
I hope it ll please you

Great Tomcat build and fantastic base !! one real minor note, the aircraft director should have a flight deck vest [float coat]on

Thank you Robert, i think it is not a aircraft director but a fan of the crew π

Like Louis said, it would have a great addition to The Year of the Cat group build. I really like the way you’ve presented it, difficult to realise the scale.
Rapid27 said on December 30, 2017
Hi George, ye, you are right, i dont saw at time the group build, Sorry for this. I hope to be more attentive next year and post in the right group build π
Thank you again for your comment,

Beautiful work on your Tomcat, Eric! Hard to believe it’s 1/72 scale! Your carrier deck base is really well-done, too.
