I'm finally ready to add the large scale models to our collection
For a long time I have had a display concept that incorporates a large scale F-14 on the cat ready to launch with some addition models of the nose section, engine and possibly an ordinance display
I love the look of the models when everything is opened up so you can see the extra details but it’s not realistic
Plus I don’t want the have to mess with a 24” model to see the details of the cockpit or to have to open panels to see the AVI / Gun bays and the Radar rack
I’m starting to narrow my search for a “Launch” model so I need to also consider the Nose Section model since I want them to be the same scale
Currently I’m thinking 1:32 but have not ruled out 1:48
I want the nose section to have a much open detail as possible
I have been looking at the different F-14 models that have been built by many different people and can’t figure out what details are added via scratch built processes and which are part of the original models
All seem to have some common details such as open nose cones and boarding ladder but other have open panels that reveal equipment bays
So if you have a lot of experience with the various models please post yu opinion of what would be the most suited for my concept
Thanks
