Thanks Jens, Donald, Mats, Erik, Stephan, Roberto, Holger, Sören, Spanjaard, Eelco, Timothy, Ed, Maciej, Danumurthi, Murad, and Roland! All of your kind words and compliments truly brighten my day. I am really glad to see your comments!
I added a few more pics today, but for some reason I still can't get good pics of them. Perhaps its the light/darkness of the camo playing hell with my camera. It is only a phone camera afterall. I may need to invest in a new camera one of these days lol.

You're welcome Michael. From my opinion is such a great build worth any comment.

I think the Tomcat is one of the best looking planes ever and with this camo its looking even better. You did a fantastic job.

Thanks Greg and Ice!
I agree with you Ice, the Tomcat is my favorite aircraft, and this is one of my favorite schemes for it as well. So it was a joy to build this!

You did a hell of a job with this Michael - great Tomcat - how many do you now have in your collection?

Thanks Christian!
I now have 5 completed Tomcats.
1. Italeri F-14A (VF-33) was my first model every built
2. Italeri F-14A (Iranian Asia-Minor Scheme) in-flight build
3. Hasegawa F-14A (VF-84 1993 Lo Viz) First Hasegawa Tom
4. Tamiya F-14A (VF-41 1976)
5. This one!
Hmmm, I just realized I have built five Tomcats, and all of them have been F-14As... Good thing my next Tomcat will be an F-14B... 😉

You should build a Ferris Tomcat. It's one of the most interesting ones. There was also a stranger scheme that I can't seem to remember where I saw it.

Thanks Thomas, Augie, and Maciej!
I will have to look into those. It so hard to decide which Tomcat schemes to build, there are so many awesome ones!

Holly crap..... that is just one amazing F-14 you build there!!!

Thanks Xander, Donald, Michael, and Timothy!
All the kind words are greatly appreciated, I am flattered, honored, and humbled.

Thanks Sarunas and Stephan! Your comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks Christian, Marko, and Sebastijan!
Sebastijan, what kit and what markings are you planning on building? I am really eager to see what you do with a Tomcat!

Michel, if you take a look in my stash, you'll see that I have collected decals sheets to make over 100 Tomcats all all the squadrons, including several NSAWC ones. Splinter will deffo get done at some point - cannot comment which kit yet, but it could be Hase, Fujimi or the new Fine Molds one
14 September 2017, 13:28

Ah, nice! I did look through your F-14 decal stash and I must say you do indeed have quite a few options. I will definitely be watching when you get to that!
