  1. Selling a 95% complete Trumpeter F-14D kit with a Zacto intake set and Aires GE-F110 nozzles set. What I mean by 95% complete, I ended up taking the cockpit components and the wheels from the kit. The only thing you will need to  get in order to complete this model is an aftermarket cockpit and wheels, chances are you were going to do that anyway. Save some money this way and put it toward those items. Not parting items out, at this time.

     

    Trumpeter F-14D kit (minus cockpit and wheels)

    Aires GE-F110 set

     

    Asking $220 shipped in the US.  

  2. I can't find any reviews for these wheel bays, if you have used these before, does it include all the doors for the landing gear bays or just the ones shown? In pictures for the 1/48 wheel bays, all the doors are shown so I'm just trying to make sure! Thanks for any help

  3. I'm looking for the wheels/tires for Trumpeter's F-14 but will also consider Tamiya's wheels/ tires. I know a lot of people go with aftermarket wheels/ tires so hopefully someone has some left over! I'm also looking for the gear bay doors for the main gear. Trumpeter includes two sets, one for the open position and another for the closed door position, so if you've ever built a Trumpeter Tomcat you should have a set of these doors left over. I would accept either one! Please let me know if you have any of what I'm looking for. Thanks!

  4. I am about to get into building Hasegawa 1/48 F-14s and wanted some input on the different boxings. Has Hasegawas kit changed much from the different boxings? (aside from decals) Are there any I should avoid? I know sometimes older versions of models might have raised panel lines, not have as many options for the variants etc. Just wanted to know if the older boxings are comparable to the new releases. Thanks for any help!

  5. In this particular instance, I am adding different engines to my F-14 so I have to cut off the engine shrouds molded into the fuselage and add on an Aires engine shrouds. A straight cut would help limit how much filling and sanding I would have to do, immensely.

    I was thinking maybe like a mini-table saw not a full-sized, wood cutting table saw or anything like that.

  6. I find myself needing to make precise straight line cuts pretty often, but I only have a dremel right now and I need something with precision. What do you all use? I was thinking maybe some kind of table saw but wonder if there's a tool I don't know about. Any help would be great!

  7. I need two sets of the front main landing gear doors included in the Trumpeter kit. There are two sets per kit, a hinged set for gear down display and a non-hinged set for closed/ gear up display. If you built yours gear down, you will have a set of the gear up doors left over.

    both sets are on sprue J, the gear up versions are J19 and 20. I would take either type. Please let me know if you can help me out! Thanks

  8. To summarize the F-14B features:

    GE-F110 engines/shrouds/fairings (same engines in F-14D)

    GRU-7 seats (same seats in F-14A)

    Single camera chin pod (common on F-14A's, never on F-14D)

    ECM bumps (two) under each wing root (just before the "hinge" of the swing wings). Present on all late F-14A's.

    wing glove veins bolted shut

    late style wheels

    Each Tomcat has a somewhat different cockpit (mostly dealing with the displays) so you'd have to get an F-14B specific cockpit if you wanted to get that correct.

  9. Phoenix missile pallets ($12 shipped, would be good for Trumpeter replacements!) F-14 Bomb racks ($9 shipped)

    Front fuselage ($10 shipped)

    Decal sheet $15 shipped Remove Before Flight tags $5 shipped

    upper fuselage (Note front landing gear doors have been removed from this sprue). Also note, I began to scribe the front half of this fuselage. It's not done or perfect but I'm sure in the hands of a capable modeler, it will be fine.

  10. I've taken the parts that I need from a Tamiya 1/32 F-14A and am selling the left over parts. Everything shown is what I have available. For the sake of simplicity, everything is $5 per item unless noted. I've added what I think shipping would cost, so prices include shipping in the US. If you buy multiple items, I can give you a better shipping rate and save some $. Sorry if you don't agree with some of the prices, anything less would not be worth my while. I don't think it's unreasonable though. So let me know if you're interested in anything! I'm in Northern VA and I take paypal. Thanks

  11. Does anyone know where I can get extra copies of the F-14 TACAN antenna that goes on the spine, as well as the GPS bump for late models? If not, any tips on how to make them? I searched and couldn't find anything. I think I've seen a TACAN antenna in the Eduard set but I don't want to spend $25+ just for that antenna...

    also, does anyone make aftermarket pitot tubes for 1/32 Tamiya Tomcat? (not the nose probe but the ones on the side of the fuselage). thanks for any help!

  12. I need a 1/72 drag chute housing from Hasegawa and wanted to know if certain kits come with them or is this an option that Hasegawa includes in all their kits? I know with their F-14's they often include options for different variants in one kit so I was wondering if this is the same deal. Thanks for any help!

  13. It might sound strange but I am looking for the drag chute housing for F-16's in 1/72 scale, from ANY model kit (but preferably Hasegawa). It can be the complete tail assembly or it can be just the drag chute housing itself. (where I'd have to modify my existing tails) . I need two but I'm willing to buy them individually.

    like this:

    or if you know of any aftermarket upgrades in 1/72 that would also be a great help! Message me if you have any info! Thanks

  14. Does anyone have a copy of the sheet Jared Bishop made up and shared on here a couple of years ago? (without the SAMPLE all over it?) I would use this one but I don't have the ability to remove that "SAMPLE" all over the page. Thanks for any help!
