Man the details on these cats are spot on, specially the Iranian Tomcats. Love the desert camouflage, it looks freaking wicked.
This is the comparison I have been longing for! Thank you so much! one suggestion though, it would be good if you could do chapters for your videos cause they seem long.

Thanks ,i'll keep that in mind!
I have 3 Tomcats in my US Navy fighter collection: 1/32 VX-9 Vampires in overall badass black and is, well, badass; 1/48 VF-84 Jolly Rogers in the old school colour scheme before it all went bland and grey; 1/72 NSAWC Aggressor in the Iranian blue camo scheme which is the best colour scheme ever; Oh and 8 1/700 generic grey painted Tomcats on my 1/700 USS Nimitz.
Amazing Art Vibes Bop Thank You
very nice!
Thank you for the video, howeveras a fan of the F-14 I have to point out a few things. The probe on the nose is a AOA probe the F-14 has pitot tubes on each side of the cocpit for each engine. The F-14D was first delivered in 1991, not 2003
For all you potential buyers, Flying Mule and Aikins Airplanes are absolutely premium distributors with wonderful sales and discounts with fantastic selection. Been dealing with both companies for almost 2 decades. Thanks for the awesome comparison video.

Agreed!
NICE
Cant get the pilot seated in the JC wings. Do you need to cut the legs off?
Good job! I wished I've seen your video before I got mine F-14. I am thinking adding magnets to my calibre model. Do you have any recommendation on glue? I'd like it to be strong enough for tiny magnets and not ruining the paint and plastic. Thanks.

I believe Locktite makes a gel superglue which may work for your needs. Unfortunately I think any glue that won't leave marks will be too weak to hold magnets on. Hope that helps!
Excelente, trilha sonora inicial de Ridge Racer .

Since this video HobbyMaster released an IRIAF low vis Tomcat too. I'd check that one out first before the JC Wings, since now they're about the same price
WoW Persian cats 😍😍😍
Great vid (as usual)! What's the name of the intro song? Edit: I found out that it's Pearl Blue Soul from Ridge Racer 4, if anyone else is curious.

Yup, that's the tune.
I have a 1/72 diecast F-14 addiction too, well all diecast 1/72 planes tho lol and sometimes i dabble in tanks. Just got my first 1/200 model. Couldn't pass up the AN 225 from Gemini.
From where did you get that Mig-19 from the background? Is it diecast.

Kit build. If there's a good Farmer die-cast out there, I haven't found it yet.

Hello. You implied that Century Wing does not provide a stand out-of-the-box. Is this true?

All CW’s come with a plastic clear stand that displays the F-14 in a slight turning climb
Does the Hobby Master's landing gear wheels roll? Actually, I know that CW's wheels are rolling and that's why I want to buy CW. But when I listened to you, I was undecided. Now I can also buy HM. What led me to think buy the CW is the fact that the laser pod head of the CW is turn around, the wheels roll, and the solid appearance of the aircraft. CW seems to be the most solid aircraft, am I right?

HMs wheels do not roll. As noted in the video, the HM accessories attach better due to not using magnets like the Century Wings version.

Why do you want the wheels to roll? It’s a model - not a toy.

@@arleighburke9095 Because rolling wheels makes the model realistic. Also, even though these aircrafts are models I play with them from time to time.

Just die cast ones here.
Caliber Wings seem to do a better job to realism.
