Jolly Rogers X-Mas F-14

Overall how are the Witty F-14s? I kinda like the tails on this one if for no other reason than they are pretty darn funny for the holiday.

Godawful IMHO.

Um kay, could you go into detail for those of us not in the know?

Generally, they are painted totally wrong, have the canopy of an F-15, the wrong engines, wrong fuselage fairings, wrong engine shrouds, wrong cockpit, no gun vents (as opposed to the wrong gun vents), wrong chin pod.

The ONLY Tomcat is a CW Tomcat.

Darn! I doubt CW would be as bold and do that livery. Its kinda cool.

Not all of the chin pods are wrong however that still does not save the mess which is the Witty F-14.

I have the Witty "Top Gun" Tomcat because I love the camo, I collect aggressor aircraft, and found it to be one of the most accurate versions still that’s not saying a lot.

The Witty F-14 is not perfect nor is 99.9% of the rest of the stuff out there, If you like it buy it, lifes too short for all this diecast forum nit picking.

After all it's just a mass produced plastic & metal toy for grown ups, if you want something 100% true to life than go have a pro model builder build you one for hundreds of dollars.
Otherwise buy what you like & be happy, you cant go wrong doing that.

Yeah, what he said. Lighten up folks.

Sorry - regarding accuracy - I've been spoiled rotten by Century Wings, Gemini Aces, Eagles International, Carousel 1, and Hobby Master!
