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! 

I found this mid 1970s Airfix 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 build. Nice however to finally make use of my Italeri carrier deck!
