F-14A Tomcat and F/A-18E Super Hornet
Two jets, each from a different movie and both at 1:72 scale: the VF-1 Wolfpack F-14A from Top Gun (1986) and Maverick's Super Hornet from Top Gun: Maverick. I hadn't got the fit of the Tomcat's canopy quite right, so an old trick and a bit of filler were needed to hide the gap in the end. The Super Hornet, by contrast, was nearly plug-and-play.
