Syark Airforces (SAF) - 1/48 Academy F14A VF1 Wolfpack
The Legend and most dedicated Fighter Plane in US Navy History. Every Major Conflict after vietnam war used his service to win a war. This model is the most difficult to buy from my old man Wan hashim in Perlis. After the appeal and upcoming hari raya 2010. He open his heart and sell it to me. What a shame memory that time hahhahhaa. My F14A is from Wolfpack Squardron that the first squadron used this Fighter during the event of Saigon 1975.
