DarkSouljah where did you live when your father worked about the jet

sungtae Choi He worked for Grumman, which was located in Bethpage(Long Island) New York.

Awesome, I was on the USS Constellation when VF-2 made their last deployment with the F-14, very sad day when the Tomcat was finally retired

Good to see a lot of youngsters here building. BTW I'm a older builder from the Netherlands.

It doesn't look like, it is a top quality f-14. Probably the best f-14 in 1/72 atm that you can find...

You should give Great Wall Hobby a try. Their kits are insane when it comes to fit and details. They have issiues with instructions, but it's a new company and a small one that keeps impressing!

Thanks for your kind words! All the best! Dusan.

I really don't know why should anybody want to change a real molded or resin cockpit with raised details to a one dimensional flat PE crap. Especially with color mismatches like all Eduard colored PEs. (The other thing I don't understand the bumped up gamma and contrast on the still images. Made the whole thing disgusting. Meanwhile in the video it looks very good. LowVis tomcats tipically filthy as hell, but not in the way like in the still images. The overtuned contrast kills it.) BTW the kit is a clear leap in quality compared to their previous Tomcat iteration.

@@egyeneskifli7808 You know , this is up to you, if you like PE parts , but keep in mind that PE parts are WAY more realistic. And the PE parts on this F-14 , the color is accurate..... The cockpit nobs , if they were realistic , you would not be able to see them in 1/72 scale. 1/32 with problem , if anyone wants realism , PE is the way to go. And this is the first time i hear that Eduard got innaccurate colors for the PE , i think you should check again your photo references. And if you care about realism , use PE parts , realistic 1/72 nobs won't be visible in the cockpit... And nearly every good modeler with some bigger budget , buys eduard PE parts especially for Aircraft cockpits when they care about realism. Your opinion is respected of course but its wrong...

@@KJ-kn8pg A flat piece of metal will never be realistic in a cockpit, not even in 1/72. Especially won't be realistic if it includes the throttle stick too. A tipical switch or nob is some 15-20 mm high in reality. It is 0.21-0.27 mm in 1/72. Absolutley visible hight. All of the Eduard colored PE instrument panels I've seen have wrong colors. They always fuck up the interior green for example. And the dark gull grey is different in all of their PE sheets. Not only inaccurate, but inconsistent too. In their TA-7 Zoom set they managed to match only one color: black. Anything else is totally wrong. And the other problem with their colored PE: that crappy, gritty surface. Almost like a plow field. Very unimpressive. The competitive modeling scene is full of bullshit. Start with overemphasized panel lines, overexcessive weathering, etc. Realism isn't the trend in modeling for a long time. In the last 20-25 years realism became an oddity in this hobby, at least if you want to be compete. I don't care what everybody buy. We have a proverb in Hungary: Eat shit, billions of flies can't be wrong! What buy most of the people almost never correlate with quality, especially not with best quality.

@@egyeneskifli7808 As i recall , The PE parts for the F-14 in 1/32 and 1/72 is not flat first of all. You critize it while never used it , please i used these PE parts and i assure you that they are not "flat" as you say. Second of all, the colors are right surely in the PE in the F-14 from tamiya in 1/32 and the academy 1/72 , again please critize them when you actually see them in person and use them. Third of all , yes this whole PE parts being not accurate is total BS because it is infact more realistic than molded plastic(not resin). Ah and yes , i am sure you watched some scale model related videos and in nearly everyone they use PE parts .... i wonder why. You are in fact the first person that argues about PE parts being less realistic than PLASTIC molds (you gave me a good laugh ngl) and says that the colors are innacurate. Some of them are actually innaccurate but if you got your hands in the new ones , nearly all of them if not all got the right colors. I guess you used PE parts once or twice in your modeling life and you think that your arguments are valid, this is your opinion , after all if some PE parts ( older mostly ) got innacurate paints ...... i mean...... you.....you can just paint them yourself Mr.Sherlock............FACEPALM. Nearly all of the other PE parts arent in color so its actually a benefit, if someone dont want to paint PE parts they can just buy eduard PE parts and if some of them (less than 10%) got innaccurate colors you can always paint them yourself. And last of all , by your opinion , the PE parts are that crappy, you had nearly no experience with them since by your experience if they are that bad , why would you buy them , then you cant talk about all of the Eduard PE parts. Maybe you got your hands on some innaccurate PE parts and now you talk trash about the WHOLE RANGE of Eduard PE parts. And yeah , realism as trend is indeed still here , just not that much on youtube, go search on google ( pictures mostly ) and you will see some competitive modelers trying to make the model as realistic as possible ... I just want to say that next time , make sure you got enough experience with something before critizing it, Cheers mate!

@@egyeneskifli7808 And yeah i forgot that the the knobs and switches are as big in this particular F-14 as an 1/72 pilot's fingers.... And the HUD and the mach speed, fuel indicator ,G meter , Thrust meter etc , they got actual numbers in PE parts and in bigger scales you can actually see and recognize the numbers , you cant paint them with by hand so they would look as realistic as PE huds and meters....
