Brief History
The F-14 "Tomcat" or its full name Grumman F-14 "Tomcat", is an American carrier-capable, supersonic, twin-engined, twin-seater, variable-swept wing fighter. The United States Navy developed the fighter jet to meet its need for a new kind of aircraft to meet its Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) ambitions for hunting and killing high-speed bombers and other threats.
Designed in the 1960s and first flown in December 1970, the "Tomcat" was officially brought into active service in 1974, with the first squadrons deployed to the venerable U.S. carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Initially intended to replace the aging McDonnell Douglas F-4 "Phantom", the F-14 quickly earned its stripes as the U.S. Navy's preeminent maritime air superiority fighter.
Sadly, it was retired in 2006 from the Navy, being replaced with the F/A-18 Super Hornet, due to budget and maintenance costs.

"panick"
can you make IRIAF livery?
I am building this exact plane as a model kit as I type. Just installed the swinging wings today!
Yeah, I agree, but who would've thought that stealth was the stealth bomber? Lol @Ihavesnowball
@LegendaryPilot ooooh that looks better, although the stealth bomber thing should only be stealth since its pretty song, but nice anyways

Highway to the danger zone
@Krikkit42 way this build was made much to be a remaster
Is not a replica I know
I don’t get the buzz … this doesn’t spell Tomcat to me. The original build by @suzutuki65 was actually very good for its time. This one adds detail in weird places but omits Tomcat-typical things like the characteristic front window or even a launch bar. The second canopy bow is missing and the cockpit … well, I don’t mind cockpits but if you do a replica … just do a replica. The basic model is very much the same, which is a tribute to the original but also not very creative. I’m not one to judge nilly-willy, but this just doesn’t sit right with me.
To be fair, the announcement for this one said it was gonna be a „remaster“, so there’s that.
