One of the finest aircraft of its day! So glad one exists in brick form. Assembles well and fun to put together. This plane is a big boi and magnificent to behold. A bit of advice though, parts pop off on a regular basis, If you like handling it like i do, get some glue for those easily popping off parts, ie; nose, air intakes, side winders, etc. This is one bird too irresistible to just leave sitting. Excellent design.

This arrived on TopGun Day and was the perfect present for my boyfriend. He is not only impressed with the pieces but the assembly as well. Being that TopGun is his favorite movie and inspired his military career there really was no better gift and this piece is something he loves showing off.

This is a stellar build and a fun time to build. The set is very detailed in a fun homage to the Top Gun movie. The details are really top notch and I appreciate not having to place stickers or decals! I really enjoyed the build and challenge. All the directions are presented well, and this is an easy build for an adult, moderate challenge for teens, but will certainly take some patience and skill for anyone under 10. It makes a great display piece fo any fan!

It is a much more involved build than the other cobi planes. I recently built the F-15 and this was much more involved than the F-15 set.

First time trying out Cobi since I have an interest in militaria. Pleasant build, I definitely appreciate all decals being printed and not having to mess with stickers. For adults this won’t be too difficult of a build. Looks very nice after everything’s put together!
Ordering was straight forward, and shipping was very reasonable, especially considering I ordered right before (or was it on?) a federal holiday and I’m on the East Coast, far from Montana.

My kids loved the movies and begged to get the plane. They had a great time building this set and its the biggest Cobi they have so far. Ordered and had it home within a week. Thanks guys!

Absolutely wonderful build! This was the plane that started it all for me and I was happy to get it in a Cobi set. Great detail and size.

The F-14 has been my favorite aircraft since I was a kid. Child me would have gone nuts for this kit. Cobi knocked it out with this set. My only gripe is that we have not gotten a non-Top Gun branded version (maybe a VF-103 Jolly Roger variant could find its way into the collection in the future), but that is not con against the exquisite model. It is definitely worth a place on your shelf.

My 12 year old saved up for this set and was delighted when it came. He built it and was pleased that the bricks went together well. He loves to play with the set and it has held up. COBI makes great sets and Warbricks is a great shop.
