My daughter got me this Tomcat for Father's Day last year. I've been working on it ever since...in tiny increments obviously

I'm hoping to get it done by Fathers Day  :groovy:

Sexiest plane ever

I don’t know whether it’s the top gun effect but it’s awesome

I always like your model pix. Looking good so far.

Did some angry plane captain go after the nose cone with a ball peen hammer????? (first pic)

100% agree and I have to be honest it was Top Gun and Red Storm Rising where I feel in love with it

Microprose's Fleet Defender: The F-14 Tomcat Simulation was my intro to the Tomcat.

Yes! That came along after I fell in love with it from Top Gun.

I pissed myself when I found out that game was released. I would LOVE a remake of that.

I think Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic does a pretty good job.
