That looks beautiful!

I think VFR Reviews is going to do that :D

When we start getting more traffic, freeware reviews is going to become a priority.

I'm not much of a jet guy, but it is by Dino, so I will be close to the front of the line!

Dino is making the F-14D "Super Tomcat" , it will be a nice addition to supplement the IRIS F-14A/A+/B Tomcats.

The model doesn't look right to me...it's too stuby

Seems to have nice textures. Textures seem to make or break model for me in most cases. Looks quite natural.

Guys, thanks for your appreciation.
I hope I will find the time to complete it soon.

@DiegoMenendez I've slightly reworked the Tomcat nose in the past few days as I thoght it was a little stubby indeed. After blueprints comparison, it turned out that it was slightly too short and high. Now it is better, IMHO - definitely is more accurate. Will post some shots in my blog in a day or two.

Dino,
You are a true artist and I know I speak for a lot of folks when I say:

"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the time and effort you put towards your models! They are true works of art!"


And a thanks goes out to all of the developers that help make this an exciting hobby.

Thats where the 'art' in artist comes in, I've quite frequently 'bent' the shape to give it the 'feel', sometimes something built exactly to measurments just looks wrong. Compromise artistry for numbers and y'all just become robots.

Looking good none the less !.

Kindest

Michael

exactly what I thought, too short and high

Good on you for fixing it, and for making such a cool product!!!

Will the final cruise VF-31 Tomcatters scheme be present?

Regards, Diego

Folks, thanks a lot for your support and appreciation.
I will do my best on the Tomcat - it has always been my favourite fighter. I'm finishing the details of the canopy right now - the side consoles still blank but it is the only thing missing (from the visual standpoint).

The project started as a "Tomcat Farewell" package so Last Flight and Last Cruise schemes were planned - but had no time to do them so far, and the repainters have bailed-out or are "missing in action"... we'll see.

BTW my apologies if I will not post very often - I simply have not much time... and if you have constructive comments please contact me by email or post a comment on my blog.
