Masterful work! Thanks for sharing! My dad was with the Wolfpack when it was formed and during it's first cruise aboard the Enterprise...lots of memories...
Excellent build, I had no idea the kit came with the deck, I wish more companies did that. The decal for the wing swing is also an interesting addition. Thanks for sharing your talents once again.
Thank you for creating such a detailed tutorial. I'm about to begin building this kit and will use your video as my guide. I appreciate you sharing your talent with us.
Amazing build and the VF-1 markings look so quintessentially "F-14." That bit of flashy-ness without being too wild. Thanks for sharing your hard work so we all can learn and benefit!
Úžasné 👏 Hlavne oceňujem tie podvozkové šachty. Na to fotky nestačia, na to musí mať človek aj predstavivosť. Iba dve malé pripomienky: K tej angličtine. “Smerovky” na lietadle nie sú turn signals, to sú smerovky na aute :) Je to vertical stabilizer, niekedy tiež označované ako fin. A ta pohyblivá časť na tom je rudder. Na čelnom štíte je ten stredný číry panel viac do modra, ako hrana zrkadla. V skutočnosti to bolo pancierové sklo.
Very nice build ! By the way they are not turn signal lights on the vertical tails. They are formation lights for flying at night and give the other pilots what position they are from each other. I worked for Grumman Aero Space building the F-14's in the USA.
Hi Josef, that was a excellent build, your attention to detail was truly great, I have liked the F-14 since watching it in the movie Final Countdown, best regards from Australia, Les
Josef as always! Super build and superb attention to detail. I seriously wait for when you upload a vid, your quality of builds is above and beyond everything else out there!
Was about to ask why all the addons to make it an early version, then you revealed the kit being used 😅 Looks sensational as with all your previous creations
Thank you all for your feedback. For the early version, the most important is the "Beaver tail", the sensor and the modification of the rudders. The others are just improvements to the kit...
Merci à tous pour vos commentaires. "TopGun" est construit par tout le monde... Si je construis encore des F-14, ce sera la version D en camouflage "low vizible"
Amazing job , hell of a lot of after market though. Thought canopy masks were over kill as after building it my self kit ones are just as good. Still bravo on your work 👍
Thank you all for your feedback. I most often use Tamiya Extra Thin glue and GSI's Mr.Cement S. Of course sometimes also super glue and Revell Contakta.
tomcats not my thing, especially an A model, but thats sexy! Im making a B-1B, gonna take some of those tips for the swing wings and use it here. excellent model!
I wonder if the paint job of the VF-1 Wolf Pack Tomcats inspired the look of Hikaru Ichijo's VF-1J Valkyrie "Vermillion One" in the original SDF Macross TV series? It's well known that Roy Focker's VF-1S "Skull One" copied the paint scheme that the real-life VF-84 Jolly Rogers used for their F-14A Tomcats in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It never occurred to me until just now that the VF-1 Wolf Pack paint scheme does resemble the Vermillion One appearance.
I never understood why so much time and effort is put into super detailing these models, and yet they make the panel lines so dark. You would never be able to see most of these panels from a couple feet away on the actual aircraft, is there a reason for this?
Kit 61114 doesn't have the early version F-14A either. The kit contains parts only for the middle product line of version A. I think the early version was only released by Hasegawa in a limited edition.
Great build, however this is a very early tomcat so it has a beaver tail, not the one in the kit! Also incorrect vents around the gun. Wheels are of a different version as well.
Ah! I thought maybe it was the right QB kit but the two dialectic panels were left off. They were on the resin block at the beginning and he was test fitting them 11:07 but in the end left them off. I’ve seen reference material that says and shows they were often left off.
@@jmominis Yes unfortunately this catches many people out, this very early tail is the same as the development aircraft and for quite a few production A/C. Not sure you could just take off the dielectric corners though as it’s of a different profile. I do remember seeing them fitted as so in 1977 onboard the Kennedy. Nice to sit in a Tomcat also had the same privilege in RF-8G,, if only I could go back onboard now!
The plane I built (VF-1, number 114) has the dielectric panels dismantled in the photos. It can also be seen in the photos that I show in the video. They often flew without them, and sometimes with only one...
Thank you all for your feedback. My wheels are correct. I wasn't sure about the AIM-7's coloring and was mainly drawing from these photos. But I can't have a completely perfect model... www.seaforces.org/usnair/VF/Fighter-Squadron-1.htm www.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/9hsiw0/f14a_of_vf1_wolfpack_in_the_70s/#lightbox

Fantastic detail. Was a pleasure to watch.
Beatiful work. Airfix 1/72 in this scheme was the first model I built as a kid.
Absolutely outstanding! Both the model and the video production. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Comme toujours un superbe montage et des techniques de peintures superbes. Une très belle maquette avec tous les add-ons disponibles. Merci ..
Great job. And finally found another Josef.
Wow. What an incredible kit. I have been binge watching your videos and I haven't seen one I don't like yet.😊
Absolutely beautiful build. Thank you for sharing.
Nice amount of weathering - most modellers overwork the weathering and end up looking too dark but yours is great!
..мастерство предъявляете-ооооочень красиво!..
Thank you for creating such a detailed tutorial. I'm about to begin building this kit and will use your video as my guide. I appreciate you sharing your talent with us.
I built Airfix F-14A Wolfpack back in the seventies! Same patterns but without any of there aftermarket components! Never heard of them before!!
Thank you all for your feedback. The early versions varied a bit.

Great movie!
Great Build! ... When you pose it for take off, roll the tail planes down as the pilots hold back on the stick when they are launched.
Incredible effort and details......
Fantastic build Josef, the early version looks great.

Just wanted to say nice build. I need to get mine out of storage and build it.
Perfektní práce. 👏👏👏
Espetacular!!👏👏👏
Veľmi pekné spracovanie. Radosť sa na to pozerať.
Excellent work, I love the marking choice!
Perfect build 👍👍👍
Awesome build, Josef 💥👍💥
That was quite superb.....and a great watch 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Parádní🙂
outstanding work as always !!! Carry on my friend !!!

@@DetailsScaleModelsIt is my understanding that the kit you chose is the "late" F-14A. So, that's why you required the early modifications.
That’s supper nice.
cool f14 models
Very nice jet kit build. Love jets looking nice.🤩☺️😁😀😊⭐⭐💯🧭
Beautiful well done.😊

At the end of the beautiful job, how much money you had spent?
The kit was the most expensive. The accessories cost about 45 euros. But the investment in accessories was worth it.
One of my very first kits was the old airfix of the same
Nice work dude 👍👍
awesome !!!
thumps up, great work!
What type of cement do you use when glueing painted parts together? Thank you very much for your feedback.
Thank you all for your feedback. I most often use Tamiya Extra Thin glue and GSI's Mr.Cement S. Of course sometimes also super glue and Revell Contakta.

Awesome building dude!
I have some questions:
25:55 what type of varnish did you use to protect the decals?
Super Clear III by GSI (GX100)
tomcats not my thing, especially an A model, but thats sexy! Im making a B-1B, gonna take some of those tips for the swing wings and use it here. excellent model!

There is another version of that kit that is an earlier Tomcat. That would have been easier to convert.

Thank you all for your feedback. It depends on the point of view and also on the specific aircraft. But I admit that I do it mainly because I like it.
It look ok I guess
He called the wing nav light turns signals! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Why didn’t you buy 61114 kit? That’s the original A with beaver tail
Kit 61114 doesn't have the early version F-14A either. The kit contains parts only for the middle product line of version A. I think the early version was only released by Hasegawa in a limited edition.
Great build, however this is a very early tomcat so it has a beaver tail, not the one in the kit! Also incorrect vents around the gun. Wheels are of a different version as well.
Isn’t that why he added the Quick-boost resin conversion to the beavertail?
@@jmominis no it’s a completely different design which is square and does not have the two cut outs!
