This is how I imagined every model I built as a kid would look. Instead it looked like...well....I'm sure most of you know.

How the hell does this have 317 dislikes get real, dont be jealous. Dude this looks amazing. I used to build these so i know the time and patience. But your detail is first class excellent. Beautiful job!!!

As a former sailor that worked on this aircraft, I see you went with the maintenance scheme here. You would see this in the ship's hanger bay.

Excellent attention to detail, I wish when I was a young 12 years old that I had the skill, knowledge & patience for this type of work, it’s an altogether different level. Thanks for sharing & some awesome tips to be had.

That is an awesome job! I worked on Tomcats in VF-31 from '89-'91. This model is amazing. From a technical standpoint, one of the exhaust nozzles should be feathered, but who cares when it is put together this well! Bravo zulu, my friend!

Magnificent to get such detail and authenticity on a small scale model. Brilliant.

Wow. Such an Awesome build and paint job. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your videos...

I always tend to think the painting tutorials go too fast, but you have done a very excellent job in explaining how you painted your pilot figure. And he looks the part! Well done!

Really fantastic! And thank you for having it in a "maintenance mode" that is always an interesting thing to see in a model.

I don't know if you have ever visited an operational Tomcat squadron while on deployment, but I must say that your interpretation comes the closer to the real thing than most any other modeling video that I have watched. (And that comes from personal experience.)

I was on the Indy with VAQ-136 in 95, and have friends in VS 21. Awesome model!!! I might even have a pic of one of their 14s .

It looks amazing! The debate can go on for a lifetime, but this plane shows character, and has a lot of histories to tell.

Great craftsmanship! I am not a fan of the heavy weathering (personal taste) but I do appreciate the excellent work/attention to detail!!!

[fynncrs]

A lot of detail.... very nice work especially on the Cockpit! Impressive

[mikehurley]

What a remarkable build! I have a Tamiya F-14A 1/72 kit to build, and your video was a great inspiration.
I had to slow it down to .5 speed (half speed) and it was most enjoyable! You've got a new subscriber.

Absolutely stunning job 😳😳😳 without a doubt, the most realistic scale model I've saw on YouTube. Truly amazing job.

[luciusvorenus]

Outstanding job! I've not seen an F-14 model that allows to insert the wings in that manner, very nice.
The wash on the exterior of the Tomcat turned out very well.

[SirHackaLt.]

Brilliant. I just used to glue mine together when i was a kid.

Its model making end of day... its your personal choice what you do to your models.. if your happy with it then its perfect as you are your own biggest critic to say when to stop.. well done on a model completed of a end of tour tomcat

Beautiful model. Wonderful video. I like it when artists take a chance with their models. This model tells a story. Maybe it flew a few combat sorties and it is dirty. Maybe its been in a dust storm. Who knows. Its a wonderful interpretation. Great job.
