Build Review - 1/48 Great Wall Hobby F-14B Tomcat

Great Wall Hobby has just released a new-tool 1/48 F-14B Tomcat, plugging a gaping hole in Tamiya&lineup and begging the question - is it worth it? On the one hand, GWH has put out some absolutely stunning kits, such as their Flanker series and the 1/32 P-40. On the other, they (or their distributors or whoever) have really reached for the sky when pricing their Tomcat, setting the MSRP here in the US close to $200. Can the GWH Bombcat best Tamiya&F-14s? Can it possibly justify its pricetag? Let&find out. ******* Thanks to LionHeart Hobby for their support. If you&jonesing for a 1/48 GWH F-14B, or any of Tamiya&wonderful F-14 kits, I hope you&consider purchasing them from LionHeart. If you use code DOOGS-TOMCAT at checkout, you&get free shipping off your entire order. ******* 00:00 - Intro 03:07 - TL;DR 03:35 - Cockpit 04:12 - Nose Gear & Front Fuselage 05:15 - AWG-9 06:41 - Main Fuselage 07:43 - Intakes 08:15 - Ventral Fins 09:08 - Exhausts 10:08 - Stabilators 10:40 - Vertical Tails 11:07 - Canopy 12:12 - Wings 12:55 - Ooops 14:00 - Final Opinion
