…Iran announced in July [2008] that it started producing radar-evading stealth aircrafts as well as overhauling F-14 fighter jets.

"If you see an F-14 Tomcat," says a friend who teaches a U.S. Navy flight intercept course, "it's enemy. Shoot it down."

Indeed! Wolfpack markings looked really cool!

 

And the music is pretty cool too!

The coolest part is when one of the tomcat pilots decides to gun in with the gun, after his wingie killed one Zero with an AIM-9. *g*

Ha ha ha, i always wondered how the thermal warhead behave youself against a small propeller aircraft:laugh:.

[Laud]

The 700-10000hp engines have been hot also, I guess... ;)

[SuperKungFu]

If you really love the tomcat and/or the movie The Final Countdown, get a Century Wings F-14 model airplane. Absolutely love mine, diecast metal, optional ordinance, pilots, gears, swing wing...etc.

 

 

The 1978 Jolly Roger scheme above and the Final Cruise Jolly Roger are my favorite

I prefere building 1/48 myself! ;)

 

Low-Vis VF-103 Tomcat B just started. I'll drop you some pics as soon as there is something worth showing.
