I thought this project (like their 1/48 MIG 25 series seemingly?) had been shelved and so it will be interesting to see the end result and what the experts (actual and self-anointed) make of it.

I am no F-14 expert, but in pics 3 and 4 and perhaps it's just the angle or reflections, the nose looks too 'pointy' and the canopy looks more like the 2 seat Hornet one than the F-14.

It will have to be something special to better the Tamiya D kit which if everything 'hanging down' isn't an issue, will take some beating.
