That is one awesome looking "low vis" Tomcat, Zach.
The accented panel lines, and the weathering are very well done.They really add to the model.
The best looking F-14 that I have seen,IMO.

It's a old spot cat... So it's the old original gear. I LOVE the looks of the Skyworks but I insist on the gear being able to retract so I have to pass on them sadly. If Skyworks someday makes them retractable then I'm all over it. For now I am very careful and rarely ever put them on the gear. Normally they sit on the fuel tanks in the gear up position.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I just received the remove before flight set from Pizzaguy and WOW! I was super impressed with the quality of these pieces. A real value for the work that he puts into them- REALLY!
I am awaiting the arrival of the Black Knights plane and as soon as I get it I plan to swap the weapons pack, add the RBF stuff, make some final touches to some of the details of this bird and then reshoot the plane again.

These all look amazing. I especially like the Russian P-40. Its too bad they (21st) never did a Russian Paint scheme or aircraft.

Thanks! My hardwood floor is a Teak 4" plank, with milled scrape finish. It's official name from lumber liquidators is "Tobacco Road". It's a very hard wood, which means it will not easily dent or ding. the installation is pretty simple. all you need to do is.... Oh wait- wrong custom forum! Sorry.
The F-14 Tomcat is a Naval aircraft that was in service.....
