Probably the best F-14A in 1/72nd scale available. I have built many Hasegawa and a couple Tamiya F-14A kits, and they are not bad. The fit is generally good, and with Hasegawa re-boxings, the variety of livery is noteworthy. However, the new Academy kit is more refined with splendid detail. The wind screen attachment itself is remarkable, and with Cartograf decals for a VF-143, "Pukin' Dogs" early F-14A, you can't beat it. Overall, this kit is in the same category as Academy's recent special edition releases of the F-15C and F-16C "Thunderbirds 2009-2010" kits. A great addition to my stash.

The new Tomcat kit by Academy is a thing of beauty. I have the older version by the same company and it is remarkable to see how far Academy has come. The one item I wish they had included is poseable flaps for the big Kitty Other than that it's all thumbs up for this kit!

Great price and it was shipped well and protected. Took a bit to get to US but that was expected.

I was expecting more from the new Academy F-14 model. Unfortunately, its price did not become such a high-quality model. Recommended for advanced model builders.
