Tamiya 1/48 F-14D Tomcat
After seeing Top Gun Maverick, I felt nostalgic and wanted to build a Tomcat for my collection. Somehow, I also managed to get an A model in my stash. π The build was out of the box with no modifications.

You entered iModeler with a beautiful build, David @dvmozley
Looking good in every aspect.
Welcome to this great modeller community and I do hope to see some more of your builds.
Hi John! Thanks so much for the kind words and the warm welcome! Really look forward to seeing everyone's work!
Love that blue.
Thanks Richard! It was trial and error to mix the paint to match the blue. There's always some high adventure when I'm building π
Great build of a great kit, welcome to iModeler.
Thank George and thanks foe the warm welcome!

Welcome to iModeler, David @dvmozley. That is a fine looking Tomcat for your debut! π Mighty nice work indeed! π
Absolutely magnificent build. Well done and welcome!
Very nice work and a superb result. Welcome to iModeler.
Thanks Tom! I really appreciate it and thank you for the warm welcome!
Fine paintwork and weathering, David. The panel lines look very nice, in particular, plus flawless decal application. You have chosen a colorful scheme not often seen in F-14 builds online. Really eye-catching. A great first article for iModeler. Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoyed the Tamiya kit. I have one of these in my stash, as well as a couple of Hasegawa kits. So many models, so little time.
Hi Colin! Thank you for the positive comments! I really enjoyed building this kit. I have an A model from Tamiya in my stash. You are right; there are so many kits and so little time!
That's an awesome first entry to iModeler. Welcome! @dvmozley
Thanks John and thanks for the warm welcome!
Welcome aboard iModeler! That's an outstanding Tomcat David. I see by your avatar pic your sitting in rhe pilot seat of a UH-1. I use to be an engine mechanic on Hueys and Cobras a while back, I miss it. Again, welcome to iModeler.
Nice Tomcat! Looks great.
