Trumpeter1:32 - Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat

Good value and very well detailed kit

great aircraft and its great supplier delivery

For an average builder this would be fine from the box but for the more studious of modellers there are a fair few flaws that need to be addresed.1st the intakes are completely wrong in shape and detail, i have ordered Zactomodels intakes to remedy this.2nd the Burners could do with some more detail, Aires CZ do a nice set that will remedy this, and as a bonus you can build the engines and display them externally as you will not longer need them,3rd as with all kits the cockpit needs some detailing, again Aires do a nice set for this, stunning detail.4th the chin pod is not correct and this is easily remedied with the Wolfpack Design replacement.5th The wheel wheels are ok but i will be replacing mine with Aires ones.6th The landing gear and various other areas could do with additional decals, Fightertown do a nice dat addendum set for the F-14D.7th. Wheels are ok but a bit plain, Wheeliant resin do a stunning detail set for this and they look much better.Dont be put off by the extra detailing, if you are not a detail concious modeller the kit will be great.[...]
