1/72nd scale F-14s

Post by skyraider » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:56 pm

What do you guys think about the 72 scale F-14 models that are out now? I am thinking about getting a Dragon F-14 as it looks really nice. Thanks.

I think dragon does a pretty nice job. i feel one of the best F-14 is from Century wings. witty is also another line i collect and they are priced well

From the review's I've heard, the Century Wings F-14s are the best. However, I've been quite content with my Forces of Valor F-14 (later series, not the crappy early versions). Its easily of the same, if not superior, quality to the Dragon offerings and offers a very nice level of detail and functionality for the price point. Lots of diecast in the construction as well.

Lots of selection in 1/72 F-14's.

Century Wings is by far the best, although they are also the most expensive. But a fabulous piece of diecast. 8)

I also have a few Dragon ones, and they are pretty decent, but they do lack ordinance, and look a little bare.

The Witty ones are my least favourite, and only the newest releases come with gear up option.

I hear the latest FoV are pretty well done, but I don't have any of these. Although the reviews are positive.

Personally, I would spend the extra, and get Century Wings. You will really like them. :D
