That's a really nice looking Tomcat!  How close is it to actual minifig

that Lego doesn't make realistic looking military airplane canopies, and we
have to make do with the overly cylindrical Naboo Fighter ones, but that's
life, I suppose.

You had to ask the scale thing didn't you?:) Well, I checked the scale with that
Lego Scale Converter and got the following dimensions:

Length: 57 studs/65.14 feet
Actual F-14 Length: 62 feet.

Wingspan (open): 46 studs/52.57 feet
Actual F-14 Span: 61 ft, 10 inches

No height yet..I'll post that tonight.

And yep that canopy problem is something we have to deal with. Could be worse,
tho...could be using those Mega Blok canopies (yuck!). I wish that the canpoues
would have more than one attachment point too..they have a tendency to usecure
themselves relatively easily. But that's life:)
