Many of us probably
harbour delusions of spending a few hours with a Playboy Bunny now and then,
however for most of us mere mortals this is the closest we're going to get to
that fantasy. Hell, I'd even settle for a few hours with an F-14, but the odds
of that happening are probably on par with those of hanging out with one of
Hef's finest...
Another excellent
kit from Revell. Everything fit as it should and detail is superb for such a tiny
kit. I vacformed the canopy on my trusty Mattel Vac-U-Form and added seat
belts, ejection pull rings and throttle & landing gear levers to the
cockpit but otherwise it's a bog standard build.

I don't normally hang
things under wings, preferring the clean look, but in this case
I thought the all black airframe would be a bit boring so I
hung the missiles underneath to liven it
up a bit. Decalling these puppies was enough to try the patience of
a Zen Buddhist but hats off to Revell for including markings for the
ordnance nonetheless.
Paint is
Humbrol black and Tamiya white, with the leading edges of the
wings & intakes done in Humbrol Metalcote Aluminium. Exhausts are
Testors Metalizer, navigation & formation lights picked out in Gunze clear
red & green over a silver base.
