RetroWings 1/144 F-14A Tomcat Cockpit Detail Set
By Matt Bittner
The Revell 1/144 F-14A Tomcat is considered the "best in scale" of this cold-war fighter. While Revell does provide a cockpit it's not nearly as detailed as this replacement cockpit from RetroWings. While not necessarily a drop-in replacement – you'll need to enlarge the cockpit opening as shown on the diminutive instruction sheet – the parts in general do replace specific items of the kit. Plus, while RetroWings does give you resin seat ejection handles they do recommend using wire instead and using the resin parts as examples of what the handles are to look like.
While the kit cockpit is decent out-of-the-box, the RetroWings replacement is far better.
I definitely say "thank you" to RetrokiT for supplying this cockpit for review.
