Awesome build! I served on the Marine Detachment aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69 from May-87 till April 89. Awesome to watch them launch and land.

[@EdsAttentionToDetail]

I was onboard Ike during that time, well in the airwing. VA-46.

[@scottbuildsthemall5124]

I was also onboard when you were, but was in the Reactor Department. I really enjoyed watching the Tomcats of VF-142 and 143!

[@EdsAttentionToDetail]

@@scottbuildsthemall5124, I went on to work on F-14's for over half my career. My favorite hands down.

Great job. My father was the chief safety inspector for this aircraft while it was in production. It’s by far his favorite aircraft and it has a lot of history in my family as well.

[@jimserhant7741]

And here I was so happy because I managed to apply all the decals on my last project without the slightest rip in any. Oh well, it was a great feeling while it lasted 😊. Amazing project & skills! Keep up the great work!!

[@mode1charlie170]

Cool build. I like the way this kit is engineered!....love the 80's themed music as well....

[@KHETTIUS]

Absolutely love the weathering on this, what a beautiful finished result, that's one happy bombcat.

[@smokinC5]

Awesome!! I remember seeing felix 101 at oceana when they retired the f14. She was filthy dirty but beautiful...just like your model. Got a video of red tail felix and black tail like your model doing a bow with 2 other cats that day. Great job!!! We will miss the cats!

[@mazinman3]

As a former F-14 squadron member, I think you did a great job, especially nailing the inside of the exhaust nozzles where the heat turns the metal a chalky white. Awesome paint job, well done.

[@wildsau1965]

Wow , I've been having my eye on this particular kit and your videos just don't give me great tips but they also inspire me . Thanks for taking your time making this video

[@antoeknee4511]

This build is exceptional. Definitly one of your best projects. My favorite.

[@Cougar139tweak]

Awesome! CAG paint scheme from my era! I helped design the VAQ-139 scheme from the same era (2000 CVW14) as an AT3....was in Approach magazine...love the Felix mascot! VF-31 was right next door to our berthing at the back of the boat on the CVN72, great memories, good guys

[@ScaleHangar182]

Yeah felix is Awesome ! 💪💪

[@bastiandijkstra6832]

Absolutely stunning result, and very useful video with all tricks you show. I’m a Tomcat fan, and this VF-31 baby is a true heritage to this great plane. Raw, dirty and in the right appearance. Sad to see they’re not active in US Navy anymore.

[@pilot4701]

Beauty! Really enjoyed watching this build.

I'm glad to see you were able to decipher the instructions.

Especially the bars that seem to run parallel to where the canopy seems to sit.

[@x-man5056]

Awesome work. You must have been a Tomcat wrench. You got the greasy, grimy, oily, nasty that comes from being deployment on a carrier the planes are always black exhausting each other too. I remember getting of duty and hit the showers after a 12 hours of flight ops and every crevice and crease on my body had black soot in it. I'm building the F-4B Sundownwers equivalent of this right now, thanks for the faux grime tips. F-4's were hydraulic sprinklers. I'm gunna needs some big red streaks down the belly. Your creation looks real, been there.
