This is Hasegawa's F-14D with Eduard photo-etch and Hasegawa weapons and LANTIRN pod. The kit's been covered quite a bit both here on ARC and on other sites, so I won't rehash all the pluses and minuses here (short story - it builds into a nice Tomcat, but the engineering can be tricky). The decals are from TwoBobs and are from VF-213's last cruise. Click on images below to see larger images The display is a carrier deck section from Custom Dioramics cut to fit in a Wal-Mart picture frame. This time around I put the frame glass on top for some protection. So, there's some glare in these outdoor pictures but it looks fine indoors on a display shelf. I built this for a friend and former co-worker on the staff at Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center as a gift to mark her getting out of the navy. She was a RIO with -213 before coming to work at Fallon.Hopefully neither she nor her husband come across this gallery before I figure out how to get it down to San Diego in one piece! Karl
