F-14A Tomcat
Italeri 1/48 Scale
VF-114 Aardvarks "Aardvark 105"
I was predicting already about this kit before getting that It may give me disillusionment,
because nobody said anything about this kit after release.
However, I bought the kit because inexpensive price( about $14 only ) disturbed my mind.
It is anyhow inexpensive than Hasegawa's one.
My first impression was focused to number of parts.
"What a few parts they are!"
It was always to mean that poor detail of them. But , It is good thing for me and it will be easy to recover about the insufficient details.
The kit gave a possibility to me as material of rapid constructing to finished model.
Needless to say, My Strategy is "Applying decal soon" and this is very suitable for that.
How do you feel about it with this example?
I will promise the kit is bought as continuously as possible by me in the future while being in markets.
I always dislike divided many minute parts. But, this Italeri's kit often making free me from there.
Left
I like downed position of stabilators.
But, Italeri adopted the tongue method.
I cut off tongue from stabilators, and I appended new pivots.
Made axle-holes to fuselage too.
Right
The M-61 muzzle and Exhaust-Outlet has not much detail. My effort was paid for simulating them.

Above
Those Missiles were included in the kit.
But, Their detail is not enough.
