Default Skymaster/Chief Aircraft F-14 assembly

Well my F-14 arrived. Skymaster did a phenomenal job with the packaging and of course Chief Aircraft received it, checked it out and re-enforced for the additional trip to Florida. I paid no money other than what it costs to ship it from chief to my home. Saved me about $1100 to ship this beast. As I mentioned before, not a single problem. All parts ordered arrived, no damage, and the airframe is amazing. I have built many many jets for both myself and customers and this one is a work of art. The amount of engineering that went into this bird is astounding. This is masterfully designed, developed, and delivered airframe.

I didn't call this a build thread because this is an assembly. Anyone who has built an old school Yellow F-18 or other knows this is no build. Most of everything in this plane is done. Doors hinged, all surfaces hinged as well, retracts installed, all major functions are in. This is 90% complete!

Great job Skymaster on another amazing bird.
