VF-33 F-14A: Completed Build

Tamiya F-14A Completed.

Now that the painting, decaling, and weathering was completed on my F-14A, I could bring everything together in a final assembly. With plans in mind for taking this model to various shows and competitions, I left several parts unglued and detachable for easier transport.

The canopy, fuel tanks, stabilizers gear and wings are all detachable and held in place with either friction on small magnets. This meant that final construction of this project went pretty smoothly and without issue.

Enjoy the complete photos below!

    I have just two comments—the radar screen in the rear cockpit is incorrect. Those old planes had round ones. Also, the AN/ASQ-T20 pod probably shouldn’t be on this plane yet.

      Hi Jan, you are correct, I used the wrong rear seat panel. In my head I equated all 90’s Tomcats as obviously “Lates” and needing the rear seat update. I found out after the fact that it was only select A squadrons that received this upgrade.

    Correction and apology – AN/ASQ-T20 is correct
