Grumman F-14 Tomcat WiP
Well, after quite a long time, I've decided to give my old F-14 Tomcat another try. Since years have passed from my previous attempts, and both techniques and available bricks are now much more advanced, it's basically a completely new construction. There were two aspects which I was especially eager to include - the first one is the brick wing, the second - forward fuselage angling, which is commonly omitted despite being one of the signature features of the Tomcat. The angling is quite subtle (around 2.2 degrees), but considering the length of the plane (around 70 studs), it really makes a difference (around 7 plates in height). The model is still very much a work in progress, and I have still not addressed multiple issues, but I feel that some of you may find the already incorporated solutions interesting. I don't expect the model itself to be finished by Christmas, so it may take before you will see it finished (well, or not).
