Magnificent. Securely packed and top quality. Very nice model. For me 10/10. It was exactly as described on the website. Many thanks.
The model is actually a 10/10...it is an incredibly beautiful piece. 1/2 star removed for instruction clarity. In short: IM MAVERICK...YOU CAN BE GOOSE!!! I broke it the first day. The instructions give the impression the pylons can be removed. I was able to fix it but i just wish the instruction card was a little clearer that those should not be removed. the back is also blank, a waste of space that couldve been used to give other load-out options. Other than my brain fart...a very well molded, painted and put together piece. Id buy it again.
This premium F14 model is absolutely top quality! Very heavy metal and with the ability to move the wings in and out, it is a masterpiece!! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed!
