Does anyone do a kit of the F14 ? Can't remember seeing a model version. Also what's the handling from grass strip likely to be ? Simular to the F15 ?

Pete, you'll be finished in no time at this rate, impressed yet again.

Perhaps I will have to commission you to do my f15, if your interested?

Dave... lovely mustang in the background of that picture :)

Probably better ground handling as wider track undercarriage and trailing link oleos.... F15 with narrow track and high fins can get a bit buffetted in a strong cross wind.

There are a few F14 kits, not that common though because of the swing wing. Handling would be good with the wings forward, tricky with them swept!

The tailerons/elevators have been glassed and a coat of primer.Just leaves the wings to finish and glass the fins and she is done ready to fit out as and when but not in any rush.

Looking good Pete. Swinging on bearing supported shaft?

You must have a nice warm workshop to be busy in. :) My work area is affected by rain at the moment. ;)
