Without a doubt one of the most legendary fighter aircraft of the late cold war period. The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was immortalized by the 1986 movie TOP GUN. And with the release of the box-office record breaking TOP GUN: MAVERICK sequel in 2022. What better time to make a model of an F-14 Tomcat.
I did not like kits markings, so I ended up making inkjet decals for an F-14 belonging to VF-31/VFA-31 (aka the Tomcatters) stationed on board the carrier U.S.S FORRESTAL (CV-59) circa 1985 to 1986. The 80s intertitles were generated by PhotoFunia’s Retro-wave generator; then modified in Adobe Photoshop by me.
Hope you enjoy this 80s’ throwback (in the form of a scale model video). And happy modelling to you scale modellers
