Michael PhillipsThanks Jens, Donald, Mats, Erik, Stephan, Roberto, Holger, Sören, Spanjaard, Eelco, Timothy, Ed, Maciej, Danumurthi, Murad, and Roland! All of your kind words and compliments truly brighten my day. I am really glad to see your comments!
I added a few more pics today, but for some reason I still can't get good pics of them. Perhaps its the light/darkness of the camo playing hell with my camera. It is only a phone camera afterall. I may need to invest in a new camera one of these days lol.

iceI think the Tomcat is one of the best looking planes ever and with this camo its looking even better. You did a fantastic job.

Michael PhillipsThanks Greg and Ice!
I agree with you Ice, the Tomcat is my favorite aircraft, and this is one of my favorite schemes for it as well. So it was a joy to build this!

Christian RistitsYou did a hell of a job with this Michael - great Tomcat - how many do you now have in your collection?

Michael PhillipsThanks Christian!
I now have 5 completed Tomcats.
1. Italeri F-14A (VF-33) was my first model every built
2. Italeri F-14A (Iranian Asia-Minor Scheme) in-flight build
3. Hasegawa F-14A (VF-84 1993 Lo Viz) First Hasegawa Tom
4. Tamiya F-14A (VF-41 1976)
5. This one!
Hmmm, I just realized I have built five Tomcats, and all of them have been F-14As... Good thing my next Tomcat will be an F-14B... 😉

Maciej BellosYou should build a Ferris Tomcat. It's one of the most interesting ones. There was also a stranger scheme that I can't seem to remember where I saw it.

Michael PhillipsThanks Thomas, Augie, and Maciej!
I will have to look into those. It so hard to decide which Tomcat schemes to build, there are so many awesome ones!

Michael PhillipsThanks Christian, Marko, and Sebastijan!
Sebastijan, what kit and what markings are you planning on building? I am really eager to see what you do with a Tomcat!
14 September 2017, 12:46
Sebastijan VidecMichel, if you take a look in my stash, you'll see that I have collected decals sheets to make over 100 Tomcats all all the squadrons, including several NSAWC ones. Splinter will deffo get done at some point - cannot comment which kit yet, but it could be Hase, Fujimi or the new Fine Molds one
14 September 2017, 13:28
Michael PhillipsAh, nice! I did look through your F-14 decal stash and I must say you do indeed have quite a few options. I will definitely be watching when you get to that!
