[wiltzei]

[peter12213]

That just looks real to me WOW!:salute:

[Odie]

Nice ! Grumman's Big Cat !

[warchild]

Awesome. I guess that is the Dino´s Tomcat.

::chuckles:: i'm more inclined to believe its Mine and Davids cat, but then, i'm reallllly biased and frankly couldnt tell one cat from another unless i'm flying it..

[CheckSix]

Superb shot...

Looks more like Dino's Pusscat than the DB & SV aircraft.

::chuckles:: i'm tend to believe its mine :-)

Nice screenshot, anyway.

And...don't tell anyone... but yesterday I spent the whole night doing the preliminary work for a new version of the Tomcat - or better a new Tomcat project, as many things will be redone...

It is becoming a obsession... but I am not yet happy with the current one.

I'm sorry to say that Dino, but it's very well-known that you're deeply obsessed by the F14 :icon_lol::icon_lol:
And I'm sure that no one around here would blame you for that...

I certainly wouldn't!

Good luck Dino, I can't wait to see what you bring us.

[warchild]

I Know you'll do great Dino :) .. will be looking forward to it ...

Could you redo the pedestal textures? They look a bit too blurry for me.

I don´t honestly know, what more could be done, but I´m waiting eagerly.

To confirm, yes it's Dino's cat.

Great news, but still can't wait to get my hands on the F-35.

[Dino Cattaneo]

Don't worry - the F-35 is almost ready! Fact is that I'm in the (boring) final polishing stage - so, from time to time, I'm experimenting with new designs... and then the Tomcat-mania comes back.
The F-35 will be released as soon as possible - but I am moving into a new home soon, so this may cause some delays (I will not release it until the new home is connected).

As for the new F-14, I've already paid for professional 3D source geometry... to get rid of the fuselage imperfections / inaccuracies once and for all. The credit card bill itself is a good evidence I'm getting mad. I'm still undecided between F-14A, B and D (I would do the A but in that case the material I can reuse from the previous bird is not much...).

I am also evaluating to reduce the polycount of the cockpit, to spare some resources for a RIO cockpit...

But then again, I should focus on completing the Lightning II... It's 99% done. I must find the will to do the remaining 1%....

[noddy]

Dino,

Many thanks for the up date.

[Sundog]

That's outstanding Dino. I'll be looking forward to it. I wish I had more than one view of the Stealth Tomcat, as I would consider modeling it, but I don't have enough info for it. Just a top view. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to your F-35, as well. :)

[Merkava]

Good news, Dino!
It's a little sad about A model. I like more D. But it's YOUR F-14 and it'll be closer to your heart for make it great.
Good luck, Dino! Your Tomcat is ROCK! :) Thank you for this.

[Dino Cattaneo]

Well... I have not decided yet which version.
I'd love to make the "A" as...well you can't beat the VF-84 hi-vis livery....BUT it is likely that I'll do the "D" instead so that I can reuse some of the work for the VC...

[AusWilko]

if you don't have acceleration will you be able to use it

[anj4de]

Hi Dino

Personally I would like to see an -A model, simply because the NAVY of the late 70ties and early 80ties was the most colorfull...gull gray over white, crossed bones on black stabilizers or a setting sun and a cute nurse nose art...you know what I mean!

Having said that a good -B model in "Victory 103" colors would also be nice.

cheers
Uwe

PS: If it helps...I would not mind paying for a really good F-14, I bought the IRIS one and do not like it at all, the flight model is just unreal!
