Love a Tomcat build, but picking-up on what you mentioned, the fit of the front canopy & leading edges where the canards fold away maybe need a little more work. But hey, when I had Covid, I hid in my shed and built a kit (badly) aswell !!! All the best from NZ.
Thanks Ian! I may get another one to hone in on some skills. It’s a really inexpensive kit and looks really good. Are the canards those little ‘tabs’ that come out of the leading edges? What do they do? Take care!
@@DrewsModels - The fold-away canards were to ease the airflow during very high supersonic speeds - turned-out they made virtually no difference to the F-14's performance so by the middle of the second production run the operating mechanism was deleted. I think the space was taken-up by the ECM gear but I could be wrong.
A great build! 👍Too bad about the canopy fit, but better leave it as it is than screw it up in a refitting attempt. Hope you're feeling much better, covid is 👎
It would have been super easy to fix before painting had I paid a little bit more attention! Covid was like a bad cold for me. Almost feeling back to normal. Take care!
I appreciate you watching and your kind words. Take care!

Hi, i just started with this hobby and just bought this model i didn't knew that i needed so many extra things. Can you help mi with the basic things that i need to assemble a model like this one?. Also with the decals, do you use some type of glue or it was just water to take them out and position them?. Thanks and sorry for so many questions.
Wow, Drew, that turned out really nice. I'm with you on the raised panel lines... sometimes they look better, in my opinion. The finish is awesome. Well done, amigo!
Thank you, Brett! There are some areas where I could have done better. I may even buy another one (this one was gifted to me) to hone in on some skill improvement. They are very inexpensive and looks the part. Take care! Drew
thank you so much!!!! the instructions are confusing, thank you for making a full video!!!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
awesome build!!
Thank you!
Hey Principal Drew! Beautiful job on that Tomcat! Really looks good, looks like the one at Pima Air Museum in Tucson. Have a great weekend!
Thank you friend! I’ve never been to Pima… Take care! Drew

Thank you! I like the Hasegawa Tomcats. Not very expensive and still look good. Take care! Drew
Nice one Drew! Hope you are now fully recovered from the dreaded Covid. Thank heaven for a hobby like modelling to help us through it! 👍
Thank you, Don! Feeling much better. Take care! Drew 🍻
