F-14D TOMCAT full video build -TAMIYA

[@Dulakx]

My father build such a model when I was a child. It was a part of my life where my world was okay and one rare memory where I had a good relationship with my parents. I played so much with this model that I broke it several times and my father tried to repair it. Now - I am a father myself and I am waiting for my daughter to grow up to join me on building such a model. In my experience it is a good time together, like a small parent-child project when you sit down think and discuss on how to build it up and do it step by step. As long as you don't expect perfect results and focus on enjoying the process. (And also give your child the space to mess things up) :-D

[@arthurthorne3664]

Well done! My version has gluey fingerprints everywhere, damaged stickers and the end result was a good looking potato.

[@nicegood7544]

Hahaha, same

[@slowbaruu22]

Relatable 😂

[@couchpoet1]

Hahahahahaha.

[@cryptojihadi265]

Lmfao. Most of us can relate!

[@mazda_rt24-p]

And glue strings

[@darrelc5411]

I finished this plane about a month ago, and had a blast with it. Tamiya always has great model kits, and are very detailed. Enjoyed watching your build.

[@chrisntheboat]

This is the best way a crafter can show their skills. Thank you for the non-talking build

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you, many people would like to hear explaining etc, do not know what is the best... thanks for feedback! Dusan

[@TheRealSlimSteve]

I'm not a modeller, but as an architect watching your craftmanship is Pilates for the eyes - really nice stuff!

[@Vladx35]

That's amazing. Watching this build was like watching Bob Ross paint.

[@matthewperry1150]

Vladx35 that was the greatest comment in KZbin history. That is EXACTLY how I felt!

[@JohnLVieira-t9d]

That is the nicest looking p38 I've ever seen, excellent work. Vman.

[@DarksouIjah]

My father was chief safety inspector for the F14 before he retired. I’ll build this in the near future as it’s by far his favorite jet.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Very very cool!! You should do it! All the best! Dusan

[@ricardomenezes9100]

TOMCAT. The most beautiful fighter ever made. In real life. Great job man. Sou brasileiro então, desculpa qualquer erro na escrita.

[@germoua9593]

your camera is crisp and clear with a blue background. every kit review should be like this. very nice. thanks.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you!!! All the best! Dusan

[@Extreme-Graphics]

One of the Best Modellers I've ever seen! Attention to detail...wow...just Wow! At the "Reveal", I could hear "Speak to me Goose, speak to me" ever so quietly in the background of my memory!! Liked and Subbed!!!

[@panchoavila986]

I wish some company will start producing the cessna 172 or 182 plastic models in scales 1:48 or larger. Since i dont think theres somebody that still manufactures them.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Tamiya is the absolute best. Been building their R/Cs since the 80s.

[@krankysfirebrand485]

Finemolds: am I a joke to you?

[@muskokamike127]

me too, first tamiya build was a rough rider.......poorly engineered. They relied on the styrene body to brace the FRP deck/frame between the front suspension and the rear motor housing/roll bar. Every time you took a good jump it broke the mounting point of the body. I eventually gave up trying to repair it so I built a flexible mount. I eventually scrapped the body entirely and made a roll cage tube frame out of 3/16" aluminum round tubing.

[@nickm2483]

Really stunning job. I don't build models myself, but I watch your channel because I can still appreciate the skill involved in putting these together. Really wish I had your talent!

[@B501R]

20 years go, I was once assembled Tamiya 1/32 F14 Tomcat version, WITHOUT ANY PAPER INSTRUCTION GUIDES, maybe because I bought it from a good friend which had bored and stored it in his locker years forgotten. In short, I was able to assembled it, around 80% glued in placed, yet I was very satisfied with it.....the point it THAT was waaaayy BEFORE KZbin VIDEO like this ever existed.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Yes, that’s very possible with big scale Tamiya kits, they are joy to work with. Glad you had fun! Btw, in 2000 (20y ago) You could write to Tamiya and they would ship the instructions to you! All the best! Dusan.

[@B501R]

@@ScaleModelAircraft thank you so much bro!

[@lilth501]

When I was a kid I build many of these types of models my eyes are failing me these days but it's quite exciting to see you getting it meticulously done on KZbin

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much! Maby You should give it a try someday. All the best!! Dusan

[@gcujimmy]

Built scores of these as a young lad. Watching this takes me back.

[@marcaustin]

okay. this is frickin riDICULOUS. i cannot believe the attention to detail. piece of art for sure !

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much!! Dusan

[@Im0utlaw]

I'm not even into building models, but I love your vids! Beautiful work and very relaxing to watch.

[@danofort]

Your work on the cockpit alone is amazing. Wow.

[@bravo3leader722]

Sehr tolles vidio, besonders die Präsentation zwischendurch hat mir gefallen. Schade das du die Bemalung der Figuren nicht gezeigt hast. Für mich ist die Tomcat das schönste Flugzeug überhaupt!!!!!

[@skimmer8774]

I followed 99 out of 100 ways you showed and my exact kit turned out fantastic. Not bragging just saying thank you for this video.

[@brandoneverett3418]

Haven't built anything since I was a boy, but I learned more from this video than I did over the 15 years I did build kits. She's a beaut by the way. 👌

[@Warmaker01]

I remember making a 1/48 F-14A long ago, loved that thing. Big and beautiful jet. Then a friend of mine had bought some 1/32 Tomcat and that thing was a beast in size. The thing needed a special display to show it off, it wasn't going to sit in a convenient little shelf spot like a 1/72 or 1/48 Tomcat.

[@lexustech48]

Tamiya just always delivers. Even with the cost being what it is, their kits are just the best.

[@weirdshibainu]

I have 20 years in plastic injection molding. Excellent work in both the tooling and the processing. Its obvious Tamiya spends the money for a great build. Excellent assembly.

[@ComandanteJ]

Speechless. Incredible end result. I got this when i was a kid and i assembled it more or less right but when it came to paint it I totally butchered it...

[@MeteTopcuoglu]

I had the exact same experience :) painting is the make or break part...

[@safwanfakhrinmohd9236]

ComandanteJ ain't we all

[@andrewdeboer7435]

This isn’t the kit you had as a kid! This is the 1/48 kit released in 2018 - and yeah, it’s spectacular.

[@g43654]

Rich kid you were lol, this model usually retails over $100.

[@Mors_Inimicis]

I feel sorry for Dukan, judging by the dumb level of comments I’m wondering just whose timelines KZbin are recommending his video too 😂

[@morganhodge6760]

This is amazing! I remember building this kit when I was 10 or 11. Been wanting to get back into scale building for a while now and builders like you really make me want to!

[@v8packard]

This is so impressive. I saw this plane, VF-101 AD 164, fly at the Chicago Air Show in 2002. I recently found out Tamiya included the decals for this plane in the 1/48 F-14D and it is making me want to jump back into modeling. Beautifully done, thank you.

[@kevinshea5819]

Everything was professionally done. Not sure you can get a better compliment. Wow! Filming, editing, sound...wow..all amazing. I just bought this kit...

[@dirtydan-OG]

After 10 years pause I wont do this again but when i saw this good job...

[@wertherland]

I would totally buy that build from you!!!! AMAZING! congratulations! As a kid I had that model, and always wondered what was the right way to do it. 30 years later... Got the answer. Way beyond my patience. You are an absolute artist.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much Pablo! Dusan

[@WalterDWormack214]

Tamiya and just about every other Japanese plastic model manufacturer, always has impressive box art!

[@dofufu]

damn..I bought the exact same scale of this one back in junior high. My build is butt ugly but i was proud of it. It's still setting on top of our living room shelf...

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

Such a relaxing video to watch. It takes me back to my childhood before video games took me over. After watching this though, I might just buy myself a kit and give it a go for old times sake. Thank you!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much, I am very glad that you enjoy the build!! All the best Dusan

[@nomadsinn2826]

I assembled one in 1988 and after seeing this I am very glad that I never tried to paint it. Painting at this level is an art.

[@jonathanbutler1171]

Watching this makes me want to go out and get back into building models

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

Do it!

[@ttesheba]

Maravilloso proceso de armado de este F14D por Tamiya, excelente terminación de armado saludos desde Argentina.

[@liberalssuck3155]

This brings back memories.I used to build quite a few.most stores used to sell models.now they are hard to find.I used a toothpick for my glue and always painted first.this makes me go search for a place to find them again

[@quikstop4347]

Fantastic work, the super detailed cockpit literally puts you in the seat! You may want to re-check the orientation of the wing insignia though...

[@JamesSavik]

Tamiya is simply always the right choice kit.

[@ja7941]

I remember my dad buying me this model so long ago and you are true craftsman

[@Witness27]

My favourite modelling channel bar none. Great work on this one!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much Oliver! All the best! Dusan

[@mour5064]

Lavoro a dir poco eccezionale e montaggio video perfetto. Bellissimo l'F-14, poi la versione "D", nonché l'ultima (discorso della versione "21" a parte), è eccezionale, uno dei miei aerei da combattimento preferiti. Impressionante. Complimenti! Saluti da Roma. 🇮🇹

[@bobdyer422]

Dusan, You always make PE look so easy.Pit tub came out beautiful. Smooth assembly, perfect paint & weathering. 1 Classy Kitten! Congrats!

[@nathanway6475]

Just bought this kit. Tamiya sure know how to make a quality kit.

[@SimDeck]

Superb video. That's proper craft. I don't know how you have the patients but it's impressive.

[@robtompkins1844]

Best F-14 Tomcat yet! You have a gift sir!

[@jonathangomez7863]

Te quedo muy muy padre. Me relaja mucho ver tus videos. Espero pronto tener la habilidad que tienes para armar los modelos así.

[@pawpawstew]

I'll always count Tamiya as a leader in the model industry. They make fabulous kits, and you've done a beautiful job with your build. Thanks for posting. I'd love to see you build the AMK kit and compare them. I took delivery of the AMK F-14D kit a week ago and I'm blown away. The Tamiya kit comes in at $99.99 USD from Sprue Brothers. The AMK kit comes in at $68.99 USD, also from Sprue Brothers. The AMK kit features slide-molded parts, incredible intake ramp detail, positionable flaps, slats, and spoilers, and slide-molded ordinance. The decals? Fabulous! Furball Aero Graphics provides them... they're thin and perfectly registered. I know the AMK kit delay created a great deal of contention in the modeling community, and Tamiya beat them to the market but man, you've gotta see this kit.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

I have the Amk kit as well. I would not compare this two kits together ( I will be a gentleman) because it is completely different approach. Price, we can speculate but it is very much different where you can buy it from with shipping, retail, discount. For example, Tamiya kit was available believe it or not in Germany for 60euros on discount! Enjoy your kits!! All the best! Dusan

[@buddyparrot1]

WOW, nice build! For someone who doesn't like pre shading, you're very good at it.

[@kevinzhang4221]

Thank you for showing! never see the making process of such a masterpiece~

[@jello1977]

Incredible. Very impressed. That was satisfying to watch. You have the patience of a saint.

[@gabrielgaitan4856]

The F-14 Tomcat will always be my favorite U.S. military aircraft.

[@marcushillerstrom25]

Loved that it is such a super clean build. Nowadays everyone is doing heavy weathering. This looks more like a gundam, and I mean that in the most positive way.

[@illicitfunkydj]

The most beautifully designed and built fighter aircraft ever.

[@charlieghague]

This is so relaxing. It's like watching Bob Ross paint. You got a sub from me my friend!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much for kind words Charlie! All the best!! Dusan

[@RickyJr46]

It was an amazing thing to watch Tomcats operating from the U.S.S. Enterprise, and to admire them inside the hangar bay.

[@wakemanedwards3450]

Dusan, I know Tamiya is along with Bandai and a few others make stunning kits, this Tamiya F-14 Tomcat being a perfect example. That said, your many well developed skills are what leaves a completed masterclass display piece that anyone would be proud to show off, even a museum. I keep watching and learning techniques to help me see progress in my own work and skills. Again, as I have told you many times, thanks so much for sharing with us all, while setting the bar at a far higher level than it used to be. All the best, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much for kind words and support!! All the best for you!! Dusan

[@nickicadman7723]

Why do you paint thin cement onto panel lines please.........awesome build. Got the 1 48 spitfire coming after watching your vid

[@rickfactory1695]

I watch your wonderfull videos every time I can . Vers Nice work .but look at your star on the left wing ...

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Hey, thank you for your support!!! Btw, check the real plane about the star 😉 All the best!! Dusan.

[@tonymbeler9070]

i used to build gunpla... then i try build this plastic model and then.... glue finger everywhere....its really for a master of builder...

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Gunpla is also very cool!! All the best! D.

[@lonewarrior6633]

Wow, totally amazing watching this from start to finish!!!! One thing I would say is the plane has been sprayed to look like the real thing but you should also spray / weather the decals down a little as they look brand new. Other than than - absolutely amazing 😉

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Well definitely they (the decals) are weathered as well but it is very high contrast due to semi low viz camouflage. In person it is even better. Thank you! All the best! Dusan

[@sterkoder]

Fantastic! Great job doing one of my favorite aircraft in the USN inventory! (But the national insignia, the star, on the upper left wing is mounted backwards ;-) )

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Yes, it should be that way. Please look the real plane, there is a link in previous comments regarding this question. Thank you! All the best!! Dusan

[@user-yh7mv7jd1l]

Thanks. You made me feel as if I were building the model. Such a joy

[@_denzelwashington_]

Dushan! Thank you for the excellent content and good luck in future buildings! Hello from Russia!

[@beauar1]

I built this exact kit as a kid except mine was a bigger scale. Tamiya makes awesome models

[@アゴォーチャンネル]

Hello I am japanese. Don’t speaking English well. I’m Very sorry. I love create by your F-14D. Very beautiful!

[@rodneyk6913]

A joy to watch. Gifted. Great music. Thank you.

[@stratus-vv4fp]

見やすくて素晴らしい動画だった！まじすげぇ。。。

[@WHR17]

Memorized by the paint job!!! Excellent!!!

[@MAN394631]

Again a very great model, since the 80th when i watched the movie,,The final Countdown,, i love the Tomcat so much, i will buy a one next time, thanks for sharing Dusan.

[@christianzamroud5435]

I got the same exact kit as a gift but i didn’t start yet because im waiting to be more professional

[@nomad9937]

Шикарная сборка!!! Супер!!!

[@38mishalkin]

Константин Несин как и всегда!

[@zwanso]

Longtime subscriber here. Superb build well done! I just got a Tamiya 1/48 F-14 kit :). I will be using this video! Please build Tamiya F-117, SR-71 and B-2 stealth bomber if possible. Thank you!!

[@1955superchevy]

Another very nice kit great job as usual

[@Habu12]

I've built three of these now, including a B conversion. Sublime.

[@simoneseverini9262]

An amazing job! I'm really impressed!!! Congratulations! Greetings from Italy!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Che viva l'Italia!! 💪

[@cruzmzuniga8400]

Very nice and informative. You make it look easy. Keep them coming I enjoy watching your videos

[@christopherlang5489]

Great work. 👍 what kind of sponge is covering the Cockpit while painting?

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thanks! As I recall it's Eduard spare from brassin boxes.

[@xjr13john]

Awesome build and paint! you make handling PE parts look so easy, I have a nightmare with them!

[@alanwalsh4021]

That's one of the enjoyable build videos I've ever seen, Well done & that's a fantastic finished model.

[@TheKyleajackson]

Truly amazing. The only thing I can spot (which didn't go on the final model, so not a big deal) is at 20:45 you cut the laser detector off the GBU-12. Supposed to be there

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Yes, you are right, goodobservation! I was planning to upgrade the GBU with resin top but later I have changed my mind. (The resin set is really the kit for itself, I will use it on F-15 btw.) Thank you very much!! All the best and take care! Dusan

[@brianfoster7064]

As an AO3 when I saw that I groaned. Then, I figured you had some modification. BTW, you would never see a bomb on the F-14. All attempts at high speed bombers were failures. The bombs would get stuck banging against the underside of the aircraft due to the way the air passed over them.

[@TheJimiTenor]

Stunning work my friend!

[@BrendaMcAdams-f8n]

Wonderful build, very satisfying.

[@xjetpilot]

Fantastic job building this kit!

[@jamiee172]

Wow, that's an awesome build! Thanks a lot, now I've got to go buy everything to build one!

[@diegosilang4823]

Tomcat #203 (correction 202) from the USS Nimitz is on display at museum of flight in Seattle.

[@diegosilang4823]

Correction it is 202, it had been featured in the movie The Final Countdown.

[@davidjohnson6965]

Got this one in my stash, just need to build a few more kits so I can do it justice!

[@angrypatriot5392]

Wow...That's just amazing. Fantastic work!

[@sargesavage4359]

I have this exact kit using the Fighter Town Decals

[@christiankohl5269]

Hallo Dusan! Wie immer klasse. Besten Dank und weiter so👍😀

[@jimareas]

Very nice build. The only thing I personally don't like is photoeched parts in 1/48th scale. Find them to be very flat for the scale almost like decals but this is my preference. And Tamiya's kit has lovely raised details on the cockpit with a nice painting they would look amazing. When I saw you cut them off from panels etc I've been hurt lol

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much! Yes, the detail oob is sufficient enough, but the A build was oob so I decided to upgrade D version. All the best!! Dusan

[@theTutenstien]

Amazing! I got this kit yesterday and this will be my next project right after finishing a SU-27 :D

[@Don_Neto_Jr.]

Superb, what a work of art. This video brings back fond memories for me. I wish I had more time to get back into the modeling hobby.

[@kyleterran6850]

Fantastic build. My favorite 4th Generation Fighter. Wished I had the skill level you have. Just great.

[@joserezende6260]

Professional job! Outstanding result.

[@johnreeves6905]

That's awesome, I've built 1,12 bikes but now getting into planes and the tomcat is my favourite, thanks for sharing, 👍

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I like the painting the best. It’s like ASMR for dudes.

[@wolfmanjack3451]

This F-14 it's closed cockpit,gear up in flight display..I have sheets of aftermarket decals I may even kit bash decals..Fun!
