Beautiful build, I like your use of magnets, very ingenious! FYI, those are Phoenix missiles, not Maverick missiles!

I've never met a Tamiya kit I didn't like. Everything fits like a glove. Always a friend to the modeler. The 14 looks good {for a jet} the magnets make the missiles & tanks fit snug. Good job

Was in VF-213 during the filming Top gun (long time ago). Did the cooling for the Phoenix missile (nasty fluid),that being said, if you build a F-14 for yourself 143 is a *WAY*cooler squadron, even the name "Puking Dogs" Tom was just a young man then,but,what a tool🤣

I’d think that’d work if you use strong enough magnets. On a couple of builds, I placed them inside of the wings before I closed them up and that worked too.

Hey great video! I am working on this build and I wonder if you have any tips on how to close up the gear bay doors. I'm having a hell of a time getting it to look decent.
@seanerk5kt93 жыл бұрын
That’s one of my only issues with this kit...for the front gear bays (which are the worst), I cement a strip of styrene along the back of them making them one piece. After they set up, I cement round pieces of styrene along the edges inside the gear bay which give you something to glue them to. I’ve found I’d still have to fill in with some putty along the edges. For the rear gear bays, it’s just a matter of trimming the lip on the edges of the bays so that the doors fit in. I also don’t install any of the main gear bay walls. It’s best to install the outer most doors before gluing the fuselage halves together. Then once the engine nacelles are on, you can fit the rest of them. Just a matter of trimming and test fitting
