Pros & Cons
Cons
This model is a very poorly engineered kit. No rio with model and the paint colours for the pilot are completely wrong. Doesn't have the option of external fuel tanks like the f14.
Highlights
Quality
A challenging build, large-scale for the avid detail-oriented model plane fanatic.
Absolutely love the detail in this kit.
They are highly detailed and will take you some time to build.
Colors are best done based on your own preference but i felt this kit looks great with multiple strategic color applications.
Price
Revell makes excellent models at a reasonable price.
Best priced model for the scale that i could find.
Competitiveness
I bought both this f-14 tomcat and the newer f/a-18 “maverick” kit in 1/48 scale.

You have to prefit pieces and some required some fine adjustments to fit
