Here's the latest addition to the fleet that I just built over the holiday break, from Brickveteran:


This version is from a few months ago, designed by Planebricks:


These two companies sell arguably the highest quality models. I'm currently waiting on a few more parts to build a third F-14 (Brickveteran version, also Jolly Rogers livery).

I've never looked into it because it's ridiculously priced and I can never afford one, but is the AMG GT unreliable?

Yes complete sets (100% LEGO, no stickers, custom minifigs, full colour coil bound instructions, parts sorted in numbered bags, premium packaging) are very expensive... Some of the larger models are USD$2000+!!

Cheaper alternative is to just buy digital instructions and stickers. A lot of knock-off brands are selling military sets as well (often using stolen designs).

I think I'm done though. The only "modern" US fighter jet missing from my collection is a F-16. The F-14 kit from Brickveteran is my most expensive model to date. The Jolly Rogers one is built from Planebricks' printed parts, digital instructions, and the remaining parts I gathered separately.
