@Ayden Bowman lol ,you're Not the only one Who says that ;)

[@bret9741]

Nice job. This was from a time when I was in the Navy on IKE. it was about this time that the Navy ordered squadron maintenance to no longer paint for beauty but rather only for preservation and maintenance. The fleet began to look like grey spotted graffiti. Gone were the semi gloss smooth paint schemes and all attempts at beauty. There was such a huge difference in US Navy vs US Air Force aircraft when sitting side by side.

[@lironk1]

incredible! i wish there were courses to teach all this techniques and how to use all the tools you have there...amazing

[@Mr.Fry31]

This is just perfect! 80s sound, Top Gun scenes, a perfectly built model of one of the most beautiful aircraft and not to forget your really good video work. I watched it several times, I just love it! And yeah, I really need to buy me a Tomcat model kit now...

[@johnshields6852]

I've never gotten the whole art thing, paintings that look average to me are worth millions because somehow it's magical, to me it's just a painting but this is art to me, I build buildings, houses, remodel old woodwork, this is art, the detail, weathering, tiny details is really fascinating, it's a feast for my eyes. Thank you.

[@ScaleHangar182]

Thank you sir

[@robertdevino4109]

My dad was one of the main design heads on the F14 . As a kid I played with one of the original wood models model to present to the pentagon in the presentations to get funding! The wings moved and everything. I wasn't supposed to play with it it was up on the mantle but i played with it anyway! It was just about the same size as that one you have there! It's still one of the baddest looking planes we ever made ! It just looked so cool!!!

[@anthonykeel1058]

Beautiful model, you have outstanding skills and I could only dream of weathering a model like this! I still have yet to do a F-14, have had a 1/72 Hasegawa F-14a in my stash since 2006. If I ever do a F-14a, it would have to be a IIAF, my father in law flew it in IIAF and the Iran/Iraq war as IRIAF and he’s always happy to tell me stories as I show great interest.

[@palletcolorato]

[@deepalperera4592]

Brilliant model. Like the cheeky top gun references everywhere. I'm hyped for Top Gun 2!

[@HarilloF1]

This is honestly the best piece of scale modelling I have seen in a long time . Also learning a lot of great techniques from your videos

[@captainmctavish141]

The attention to detail is outstanding. This is BY FAR my favorite Tamiya 1/48 F-14 build on KZbin. I've been a long time fan and seeing how your skills improve with every video you've put out has prompted me to get cracking on some of my kits. This is truly inspirational to me and the modelling community as a whole! I just wish I could get my hands on the Fightertown decals for my 1/48 F-14 (that has yet to be built)... Keep up the good work brother!

[@04swimbeav]

Awesome build! And I like the change up in the video/build style. As always, this was a great build and I watched it intensely, like all your vids, to try to learn things to do with my own builds. Thank you for a great video at a time when we are all stuck at home watching KZbin. You two stay safe and healthy as well.

[@sidneyvanzandt2473]

[@jt8306]

People are watching this because of the skill of the person building the model not because of the model. The patience, detail and technical accuracy is outstanding. I was an avionics tech on F-14s and this is by far the most realistic model I've seen. The paint discoloration, weathering, and fluid leaks of the real aircraft are perfect. Don't disrespect something out of ignorance. Take a moment and realize your "epic" kid model isn't on the same level. "Sometimes is better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

[@friktionrc]

You know you'rw watching talent when you begin to look beyond the actual build and realise this video is 29 minutes long (and is speeded up). For example: let's say the actually footage is 1 hour long when unspeeded...that itself is a wonder...but then you take into account all the clips and bits that were edited out...you begin to realise just how long the original footage must have been and how good and all the other vids on this channel is. Leave aside I love the Tomcat, the patience and talent needed to make and publish vids like this on a regular basis puts my paltry basic attempts to shame. Keep up the excellent work 😎👊🙏👍
