Where did you put the big Tomcat?

I am curious, where do you display your JSI F-14 model? How many are hung from ceilings, and how many are sitting on their gear?

It is sitting on my display table for the time being. The table usually held two 1:18 WWII planes, but only one F-14, and just barely at that. It is displayed gears down, canopy open and wings folded. I will eventually hang it, but it looks great sitting on its gears.

Mine won't be here until tomorrow, but I plan on hanging it in my plane room/shop. I would like to display it on the ground but it sounds too big.

I have a dedicated desk in my man-room. My F/A-18 sits on the coffee table across from it.

I have a custom built Dragon 1/6 VF-84 F-14 pilot to display with the Cat. Will post a pic soon. He's sporting a custom HGU-33 helmet with custom decals.

Wow I look forward to seeing that.

Yeah, I'm at work right now, so I can't access photobucket. But I'll get it posted up tomorrow when my Cat arrives.

What is that, 106 planes there, supersonicfifi?

There were only 712 1/1 scale built in real life, right? Of those 712, 79 went to Iran.

You are 1/7th the way there.

That might look funny...no flaps, elevators don't really stay in the pitch position, and no leading edge flaps.

That sure is a lot of F-14's Super Fifi.

Are you selling them in France or is this your personal stash ?

That's gotta be a picture of some company's inventory to sell. There's safety tape on the floor and the floor looks like those interlocking computer access floors seen in offices that sit above a production floor and there's large flourescent lighting indicitave of a commercial location. However the ceiling appears to be wood paneling which is not indicitave of commercial. And bright yellow walls. SSFIFI must have an interesting collection room. I wonder if with all those F-14's in inventory he's planning on doing a cool diorama of either NAS Oceana or Miramar, or AMARC/AMARG in the desert showing Tomcats awaiting their fate in the scrapper. Ahh!!!
