Maverick's F-14A Tomcat

I feel the need, the need for speed! Maverick and Goose ready to launch in their F-14A Tomcat, their target being the Top Gun trophy.

Spoiler alert … it doesn’t end well!

That also goes for this Airfix kit in the hands of this frustrated modeller

I found the moulding of this mid 1970s kit - re-released to cash in on the Top Gun franchise (they saw me coming) - very dated. Raised panel lines, poor fit and plenty of flash led to a challenging and unfulfilling build. One to view from a distance. nice however to make use of my Italeri carrier deck!
