I love the Tomcat, and you made some good improvements on. I will have to copy your two seat design and hope it will fit the ME Joes.
FYI, about 80 F14A's were sold to and operated by the Iranian Air Force with good success. This was before the takeover by that radical jihadist, dunno his name, when the Shah was still in office. Cool little fact for those who dont have time to look it up, they couldn't buy more Phoenix missiles, which were designed as fleet defense for carrier groups and the tomcat was specifically designed to carry, because of the arms embargo. The missle had an effective range of about 80 miles, a long range for the 1980s, and was very, very accurate. One Iranian pilot was trailing 3 migs but coulnt tell because he did not have a visual and was relying solely on radar. He decided to take the shot believing it was a large aircraft, possibly a bomber. Since the migs were so close, almost wingtip to wingtip, it destroyed all 3 with one missile.
Anyway, the upgrade on this is awesome. If you customize another, please do the VX9 colors, my avatar, or Jolly Rogers.
I will bump another thread that had some awesome tomact customs for those who are interested. No it is not my work, but it is phenomenal.
