Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat

September 2, 2024 · in Aviation · · 10 · 223

Although not a simple build model, 's venerable kit looks great on the display shelf.

This is an old kit that I got at a bargain price, partially built and with already yellowing decals. The objective of the build was to make the most out of the kit without investing in complimentary parts.

  1. To be honest, it's hard not to add extras especially to the cockpit, wheels and exhausts.
    It is one of the most challenging mainstream kits. Looks real good.

  2. Excellent result, superb painting and weathering, Rafi! You definitely got the most out of this already started kit!

  3. That's a fine looking Tomcat, Rafi @blackmopane
    Definitely an eye catcher on your display shelf.

  4. Nice Tomcat and great dedication, Rafi. I suspect more of these kits reside on shelves of doom then in display cases.

  5. Wherever you started from, she landed in the end zone as a masterpiece! I'm not a huge Tomcat fan, but when I get around to building my second kit, this is the scheme for me! I love the Sundowners markings.
