1/72 Ertl Grumman F-14A Tomcat of VF-32 , Year of the Cat
One from the cheap seats. Ertl/AMT F-14A .After starting this I almost chucked it ! I think I'd rather have done the old Airfix or even Monogram kits. There is panel line detail but the fit is very poor, I think the Sword Cougar was an [...]
