PSA: Accurate F-14A Orthographic Images & Technical Data

126k BaconEggs  2.3 years ago

as of recent ive made the decision to rebuild the physical model of the f14 for a number of reasons, one of them being that the blueprint i used (basically all blueprints found around the intnet) was mildly (annoyingly) inaccurate. so i decided to try out more functions of the dcs model viewer on a model i believe was made with the help of photogrammetry.

.
important note: this model is of an F-14A configuration of the late 80s / early 90s which was upgraded to mount the lantirn pod. certain features like an/alr-67 recievers, tcs pod, are not on older blocks. id recommend looking to irl photos of tomcats for better reference.

the image above is downscaled just enough so i can show, here is a google drive link to the higher res version

Included in the blueprint are some technical diagrams of flight control mechanisms and avionics. links to NATOPS manuals for more information are linked below.
