Greetings:

I have been very slowly working on this Tomcat as time allows. This is being made from an old remote control toy made by New Bright. The whole thing was taken apart and the electronics gutted. It's been a slow go but it has gotten far. Chose it because it is very close to 1/32 and I just wanted something that if I messed up I didn't care. So far it's going good.

Yes, I chose to do the aircraft of one of our enemies and this has been discussed with the F-14s being gutted. Just thought the schemes were interesting and it would be VERY different

I still have to work on the landing gear, missiles and the remainder of the markings. As well as put all the screws in that held it together (Very interesting dismantiling a toy by the way:)

Very nice work Corey.

I was over in Iran when we sold them the F-14's. One of my friends dad's worked for Grumman, and was involved with the maintenance training. I'm just glad that the Iranians were not able to use them after we left.
