F-14A Tomcat 1/48 Tamiya

For today's video, I chose the F-14A from Tamiya. I like the first production series aircraft from the VF-1 "Wolfpack" unit, so I decided to make a small conversion. I used accessories from Czech company Aires from QuickBoost and Wheeliant edition. Tamiya models are one of my favourites and I consider them to be the top of plastic model production technology. So why not make it a little more difficult for yourself?

The Czech Republic might be a small country, but it's filled with great people 😉 Greetings from Germany 😉

[@thekunninglinguist2397]

Was about to ask why all the addons to make it an early version, then you revealed the kit being used 😅 Looks sensational as with all your previous creations

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Thank you all for your feedback. For the early version, the most important is the "Beaver tail", the sensor and the modification of the rudders. The others are just improvements to the kit...

[@bazman32]

Nice amount of weathering - most modellers overwork the weathering and end up looking too dark but yours is great!

[@andresgerding7816]

Beatiful work. Airfix 1/72 in this scheme was the first model I built as a kid.

[@lancegolding6323]

Absolutely beautiful build. Thank you for sharing.

[@johntreloar8203]

Fantastic build Josef, the early version looks great.

[@taibor11]

Veľmi pekné spracovanie. Radosť sa na to pozerať.

[@seanrobert2227]

great job and amazing scratchbuilding detail

[@mister_fjk1972]

Amazing kit and build!!!

[@ChrisK-LTC]

Great Build! ... When you pose it for take off, roll the tail planes down as the pilots hold back on the stick when they are launched.

[@scaleffect]

Amazing build and the VF-1 markings look so quintessentially "F-14." That bit of flashy-ness without being too wild. Thanks for sharing your hard work so we all can learn and benefit!

[@c123bthunderpig]

Excellent build, I had no idea the kit came with the deck, I wish more companies did that. The decal for the wing swing is also an interesting addition. Thanks for sharing your talents once again.

[@ascomt3]

Very interesting build. Great work.

[@MrAicraftLover]

Úžasné 👏 Hlavne oceňujem tie podvozkové šachty. Na to fotky nestačia, na to musí mať človek aj predstavivosť. Iba dve malé pripomienky: K tej angličtine. “Smerovky” na lietadle nie sú turn signals, to sú smerovky na aute :) Je to vertical stabilizer, niekedy tiež označované ako fin. A ta pohyblivá časť na tom je rudder. Na čelnom štíte je ten stredný číry panel viac do modra, ako hrana zrkadla. V skutočnosti to bolo pancierové sklo.

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Díky. O "blinkrech" vím, neohlídal jsem si překlad. Dělá mi to letecký laik...

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Josef, that was a excellent build, your attention to detail was truly great, I have liked the F-14 since watching it in the movie Final Countdown, best regards from Australia, Les

[@Bossnuggetmodels]

Josef as always! Super build and superb attention to detail. I seriously wait for when you upload a vid, your quality of builds is above and beyond everything else out there!

Super travail sur ce magnifique Tomcat Le prochain F-14 Topgun ?

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Merci à tous pour vos commentaires. "TopGun" est construit par tout le monde... Si je construis encore des F-14, ce sera la version D en camouflage "low vizible"

[@ryanparkin6156]

Amazing job , hell of a lot of after market though. Thought canopy masks were over kill as after building it my self kit ones are just as good. Still bravo on your work 👍

[@collinmccallum]

beautiful

Nice work dude 👍👍

[@markshellard5894]

One of my very first kits was the old airfix of the same

[@quantumplastic]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@AvengerII]

I wonder if the paint job of the VF-1 Wolf Pack Tomcats inspired the look of Hikaru Ichijo's VF-1J Valkyrie "Vermillion One" in the original SDF Macross TV series? It's well known that Roy Focker's VF-1S "Skull One" copied the paint scheme that the real-life VF-84 Jolly Rogers used for their F-14A Tomcats in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It never occurred to me until just now that the VF-1 Wolf Pack paint scheme does resemble the Vermillion One appearance.

[@GiorgioBeltrammi]

At the end of the beautiful job, how much money you had spent?

[@DetailsScaleModels]

The kit was the most expensive. The accessories cost about 45 euros. But the investment in accessories was worth it.

[@TheModelGuy]

6:21….wow I’ve been trying this the wrong way. So much easier your way!

[@francisewing1718]

A very nice build, any chance of getting a link to the accessories you purchased I'm in the US and I would consider purchasing some of them

[@francisewing1718]

Thank you

[@matthiasholtz3260]

thumps up, great work! What type of cement do you use when glueing painted parts together? Thank you very much for your feedback.

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Thank you all for your feedback. I most often use Tamiya Extra Thin glue and GSI's Mr.Cement S. Of course sometimes also super glue and Revell Contakta.

[@guaporeturns9472]

It look ok I guess

[@frkop]

kolko zabrala stavba filmovanie a nasledny strih?

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Stavba nevím, neměřil jsem to. Střih a grafika cca 30 hodin.

[@artszopa5520]

:) You build EARLY Tomcat, with LATE main wheels hubs and LATE AIM-7 Camo 😛

[@DetailsScaleModels]

Thank you all for your feedback. My wheels are correct. I wasn't sure about the AIM-7's coloring and was mainly drawing from these photos. But I can't have a completely perfect model... www.seaforces.org/usnair/VF/Fighter-Squadron-1.htm www.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/9hsiw0/f14a_of_vf1_wolfpack_in_the_70s/#lightbox

[@artszopa5520]

@@DetailsScaleModels Wheeliant don't have in offer early wheels hub so you have F-14 wheels but for LATE blocks :) Of course painting is perfect but some details need to be consistent in the convention you have chosen with early 'beaver tail' from QuickBoost

[@simonfisher1563]

Great build, however this is a very early tomcat so it has a beaver tail, not the one in the kit! Also incorrect vents around the gun. Wheels are of a different version as well.

[@jmominis]

Isn’t that why he added the Quick-boost resin conversion to the beavertail?

[@simonfisher1563]

@@jmominis no it’s a completely different design which is square and does not have the two cut outs!

[@jmominis]

Ah! I thought maybe it was the right QB kit but the two dialectic panels were left off. They were on the resin block at the beginning and he was test fitting them 11:07 but in the end left them off. I’ve seen reference material that says and shows they were often left off.

[@simonfisher1563]

@@jmominis Yes unfortunately this catches many people out, this very early tail is the same as the development aircraft and for quite a few production A/C. Not sure you could just take off the dielectric corners though as it’s of a different profile. I do remember seeing them fitted as so in 1977 onboard the Kennedy. Nice to sit in a Tomcat also had the same privilege in RF-8G,, if only I could go back onboard now!

[@DetailsScaleModels]

The plane I built (VF-1, number 114) has the dielectric panels dismantled in the photos. It can also be seen in the photos that I show in the video. They often flew without them, and sometimes with only one...
