Another Christmas build, I knew I had to build this as soon as I saw a photo of the jet. This kit has uses True Details resin seats with breaker "horns" made from strip styrene. The AN/AAQ-14 pod is from Hasegawa Weapons Set VII, and the GBU-10s and racks from Hasegawa Weapons Set VI.
The kit is decent, but the Hasegawa and Fujimi kits are still the way to go. The panel lines on this are oddly thick, and strangely enough releases before and after this one did not have these thick lines. What I do like about the Revell kit is that it's simple, cheap and rugged.
Decals were originally from Superscale 72-815, but port side Felix image was misprinted. I scanned image, inverted starboard side Felix to replace port side and added the Santa hat (from photos of the tail I found off Google). The scheme was on around Christmas of 2003. This was also built for the ARC F-14 group build.
