I love the Revell Monogram F-14 Tomcat, I have four of them. They build very easily and look very good when finished. I have a standard HIGH vis A model, a low vis A model,a A model converted into an F-14B Bombcat and an unassembled D Super Tomcat. this is a great kit that exhibits no problems in construction.

"Was a bit of a challenge because of fit issues."

I just recently finished this model, but I had some issues with putting it together. The wings surprisingly enough were easy to put together; I didn't have to use glue to hold them in place. What I did was use blue painters tape and tapped the top of the wing root to the bottom of the fuselage and then tapped the gears to hold them in place. It worked out just fine. I did have a problem with the the intakes and the forward fuselage and gun panel. The forward fuselage was pretty difficult to line up and it just didn't want to stay. I am thinking about doing it again but using small C-clamps to hold the sides together. I also had a problem with the nose section; it has no supports in the forward section of the fuselage so it will just be sitting there. Make sure that it is COMPLETELY dry before you do anything else! I'd wait at least two to three hours before you do anything else.

A few fit issues and some raised panel lines. Also there are several points where bits from the manufacturers moldings are, which should be easy to remove. I had some trouble aligning the fuselage halves as well. The kit isn't made to be variable swing, like the wings aren't movable, but there is a way to make them movable by gluing the wings and then breaking the bond before it dries and cures after gluing the fuselage halves.

This model is my third model. I'm not a necessarily skilled modeler, but this model was a pretty good build. The detail is wholesome. The decals are nice, they give markings for two aircraft-Felix the Cat, USS Carl Vinson, and Gunfighters, Nas Miramar. There are no fit problems, there was none for me. This model was finished for me in about a month. It was pretty quick. The plane comes with 4 AIM-54 missiles, 2 AIM-7 missiles, and 2 AIM-9 missiles. There is only one pilot figure included. The only difficult part was to get the wings to sweep, which was not designed. There is a way this can be done though; you have to use plastic model glue and stick the wings where they should go, and then glue the top and bottom fuselages together (Cyanoacrylate might help). The seal of the plastic model glue will be easy to break by slowly sweeping the wings, if this whole sequence is done quickly and carefully. This is overall a good model, though.
