Ralph Savelsberg wanted to build a LEGO fighter jet, so he figured he may as well build one of the most iconic out there: not just an F-14 Tomcat, but Maverick's F-14 Tomcat from 1986's Top Gun.
How LEGO builders conceptualise this stuff, just knowing what pieces will work where, never ceases to amaze me. Everything about this is so perfect, from the cockpit to the angle of the nose to the cannons to Maverick and Iceman looking like they're about to drop those helmets and just hug it out.
