@FlyPastRush@mstdn.ca Thanks, the liberating thunderstorms just got finally unleashed on us.🙌
What brand is your cat? Is that the Academy kit? Or is that also the HB?

@Moaske@social.vivaldi.net Marco, Neither, the F-14 that this aviator got was the 1/48th Italeri version. I had not seen it before. Not as bad as I thought it might be, but I wouldn't buy one. The panel lines are a bit deep and wide and the rivets are heavy. Cockpit is marginal (bears little resemblance). Gun vent and other details are off as well. Fit seems pretty decent and overall it looks like a Tomcat. Probably rate it 6/10 range. I have built the Monogram, Academy and Hasegawa Tomcats in the past.
