J35JThanks Martin & Oliver for your intrest.
@Oliver Schulz - Looking forward to see your F-14 coming together. You should have all parts in the kit to build a F-14D👍🏻

J35JThanks Daniel & Panzerwomble for your comments.
I had the same feel when I did the build, but really wanted to come as close as possible to what a potential WHIF Royal Navy Tomcat may have looked like.

NeilYes! Yes! Yes! 🙂 This is cool - great work mate. And... Not actually that far-fetched a WHIF. I believe that we did (UK government) have discussions about potentially using the Tomcat at a time before the ADV Tornado? Others more knowledgeable than I will know for deff I'm sure...

J35JThanks Neil for your kind comments.
During my research I also came over that info, UK government was heavly committed into the ADV Tornado project on many levels.
Another topic on the table in regards of a potential F-14 RN buy was that the aircraft carriers used by UK at that time needed improvements or a potential purchase of US carriers Forrestal class to host the F-14 in a proper way.
