I built this for a Jolly Rogers group build elsewhere a few years ago. I used the kit decals and the Eduard "Big Ed" photoetch set. This was the first Tomcat I actually managed to finish... no fault of any of the kits I started, [...]
Happy New Year to all.
Adding to my US Navy theme is Hobbyboss's Grumman F-14A Tomcat.
As with other Hobbyboss kits, this one allows for a good few options and I opted to have a few access panels open to show the added detail included in [...]
