A new very nice F14 Tomcat model

[legion]

His green f18 is very nice too. But i once built his T-4 Blue Impulse jet. Didn't complete it due to inexperience and the fact it lacks formers.

Gotta give fadi points for effort and consistency!
four sites posted...four sites deleted!

c'mon fadi, you've only made 7 posts here...and four of them are for pirate sites? lol
you might get a reputation! [friendly smile]


how about we see some models instead.
or post something about yourself instead.
...we do like to chat about other things too!

The admin should change his frikkin avatar to Yellowbeard.

fadi isn't the pirate...lets not get carried away.
he just seems to be finding pirate sites and not realizing it.
at least, thats what I am assuming.

i think its a little funny

...I'm reviving this thread (instead of starting a new and repetitive thread)...

I am looking for a Tomcat (F-14) kit.
A free one, obviously (I already have purchased printed ones)

What I need is a half decent 1/48 scale Tomcat.
And I can't seem to find one.

Don't point me to Ojimak's...I have all of his.
Those are 1/80 scale and I am not thrilled about all the fold lines.

Why can't I find a 1/48 (or thereabouts) model?

I thought about scanning my MM kit, and reducing it from 1/33
but its too complicated...too many parts...I want something a little
quicker to build.

Any models I am missing? or ignoring?

Dave,

Have you seen the one available at Eastern's Toy Box?
Paper Craft

It ain't free but it is cheap:

Grumman F-14 Tomcat | Aircraft |

You might at least check out the link for the assembly drawings.

Papercraft model is 1/100 scale, but looks detailed enough that it might scale up okay.
...wait...maybe not.
password protected, so I can't edit and upsize the pages.
And, theres no landing gear.

I have the entire FG collection (from Chip) so I will take another look at the F-14.
Not sure of its scale though...WASM and all that...

Why not changing it into editable format like bmp or jpeg using GSView or a similar program?
