Grumman f 14 tomcat cockpit6/30/2023 This is nice as you can adjust them depending on how you want to display the kit. Tamiya has chosen to make them movable with a cogwheel construction in the main part of the fuselage. The wings on this plane can be swept in our out. All this goes in to a front part of the fuselage (visible in the fourth picture on the left). This is also true for the front wheel well that is the next steps in the instructions. Even if you don't use aftermarket stuff it looks really good. The cockpit is constructed as a well in the kit and there is, as stated, much detailing it the parts in the kit. Also as you can see in the front wheel well all the cables etc gives it a new dimension. The left hand version is the kits original cockpit and the one on the right is Eduards detailing kit. But for the cockpit, specially, it gives a new level as you can see in the picture on the left. Some might argue that this is unnecessary for this kit and I can see their point.

The decal sheet has decals for three different markings: They are movable in the finished kit and it would be very hard to paint them after they're mounted. Also some thought have gone into designing the kit so you can paint it before attaching things that easily brakes when handling it. Tamiya has made some effort to minimise the effect of the delicate attachment to the spruces so cutting the parts lose won't damage them. Everything from small detail differences between the three schemes available through ordnance configurations to if you want to have the kit flying or standing on the ground. The instructions is a 24 page booklet and it's very clear explaining the different configurations you can chose. The box contains a leaflet with the history of the plane in Japanese and English including some useful information about how the wings angle was changed for different uses and how the ordnance was configured for different situations. It has been re-released in 2018 as a F-14D version, but the F-14A is still available along side the later release. First released in 2016 this kit has been one of the flagships in Tamiya's product line.
