Landed mine on ebay a while back. I took pictures right when I got it but didn't open it for a while. Now my camera is on loan and I don't have pics of the plane. But I can tell you it was worth every penny to acquire!! amazing detail. All the panel lines of a Tomcat are there including markings. The engines come apart piece by piece so you can see how they work. Same for the wing box and the wiring packages, the radar, the gun and gun casing. Drop down ladder and steps. Detailed cockpit and very well detailed landing gears and gear bays.
Here's my attempts at posting pics:

Just go into the photostream and you can see them

I was looking for one of these myself,after Black Lion had brought up the subject,and I saw the model.Looks very impressive.And unique.
I couldn't find one,so I tried this.
I went to the company website,and placed an order,even though it said they were out of stock.A couple of days later they emailed me back,saying that they were ready to ship,and requesting Paypal payment.I paid,and it was shipped from Japan,with tracking number.It should arrive within a week.
It was worth a shot,and it worked for me.About $170US,plus $60 for shipping from Japan.

Well I just opened up my Famemaster 1:32 F-14.
Holy F$#@k.This thing is incredible.Hugely detailed,with a very nice outer paint job.167 pieces that you have to snap together,but easy.
This is a cutaway model,that all sorts of large ares can be exposed,by removing outer panels.Interior details,including engines, are fantastic.
You really have to see it ,to believe guys.
Black Lion can back me up on this.
Thanks for making me aware of this awesome model.
I wish I knew how to post pictures,but I don't.Black Lion?
It is expensive,but rare and unique.After seeing it in person,I would pay more for this model.
Just jumped to the front of the line as one of my favourite 1:32 models

I get my camera back this weekend so I'll post some pics of it. Such a cool model. Most recommended model I've ever seen. If the JSI Tomcat turns out to be a low vis later 80's early 90's this Famemaster will be a great late 70's high vis accompaniment.

Isaiah,
Thanks for the heads up - I just went and ordered one. Hopefully you aren't "killing us" on the shipping - it didn't say what it would be even after I finished the order.

Welcome aboard la817291.
Surprised that you jumped in on this forum.
You must know what you want.
I ordered a second one of these from MT,as it was priced so low.$150.
These models are quite unique,and rare.
Never mind the fact that it is a 1:32 scale F-14 Tomcat!
I would suggest that if you want one of these,order before they are gone.
You could easily miss this opportunity.
