F-14A战斗机 Tomcat Side-crash_cramer
来自玩家crash_cramer的惊人作品！
作者用了9个月的时间，花费8000左右颗粒的大型战斗机，光是飞机部分的全长有127CM。这个模型搭建的是VF-1群狼中队的威奇塔106 战斗机。这个群狼中队也是唯一两个部署了这个雄猫号战斗机之一的战斗群。展示的这个场景也是1974年到1975年企业号航空母舰上的一部分。
对于乐高的颗粒作品来说，各种不规则的弧面处理是很痛苦的事情，不过这个作品看起来处理的很不错。得益于作品的巨大尺寸，很多细节也就可以得到更好的还原。作品还大量使用了定制的贴纸，也有些特殊的零件应该是定制的，包括驾驶舱。
作品具有很多遥控的控制功能，包括襟翼控制和尾部LED灯的控制。我觉得，这个作品花费的时间精力确实巨大，但是很值得！
附：作者本人写的简介：
After 9 months of work my Tomcat is finally done. The model depicts Wichita 106 from VF-1 Wolfpack squadron, one of the first two squadrons to deploy onto a carrier with the Tomcat. It is displayed on a section of the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier that carried the squadron in 1974 and 1975.
The plane itself measures 127cm long and contains roughly 8,000 pieces. As with my Phantom it has PF function powered control surfaces including elevons, rudder and spoilers along with a host of other manual functions like variable geometry swing wings, leading and trailing edge flaps, speed brakes and arrestor hook.
The model also has an after-market F-14A sound module with a 2-inch speaker in each engine tail pipe complete with start-up and shut-down sequences and LED lights that engage at the afterburner stage.
There are numerous custom made decals and stencils, a detailed cockpit and custom vacuum formed canopy glazing. The “airbags” that sit under the sweeping wings are made from dyed Lego sail material.
The carrier deck is a section depicting the starboard forward catapult of the USS Enterprise, complete with jet blast deflector, MD-1 Tow Tractor and various poseable deck crew (designed by the awesome Joe Perez).
The nose gear is inter-changeable to depict either standing or catapult launch stances.
There are certainly nods to some of the other great Lego Tomcat builds out there so thanks to everyone who provided inspiration. This was undoubtable the most complex and challenging project I have done to date, I found the Tomcat’s curves incredibly hard to re-create even at this scale.
Thanks for looking, next up it’s either going to be a 1/15th scale F-8E Crusader or a 1/10 scale Spitfire Mk XIV…see you in 6-9 months
