If they're of the F-14A, you can build something different to the usual with this set. Fourteen options, the last three are with the standard production wing glove. Available in 1/72 and 1/48. Bu. No's are given so you can image search for references too.

Also, the original Monogram kit was of this variant.

The Matchbox was based on the early prototypes. These differ by having concave wing root gloves with a squared rear end and high fences. See pictures 17 and 20 here in particular and compare a production airframe www.warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewt...

Your Sunday treat for sore eyes. The Vlaicu II. Romanian Aurel Vlaicu was having success with his designs, winning competitions and attracting interest from the military. Sadly, he died in a crash as he attempted to be the first to fly over the Carpathian mountains in 1913. #Aviation#AvGeek

You need an opportunity to appreciate the landscape just before you obliterate it.

Let's just agree that it has a bucketload of je ne sais quoi. We don't want to have to get the thumb screws out again.
