Ok this is my photo. I think it's the area some of you guys have been discussing? Please remember, these parts are only taped together...and kind of loosely... I don't know if this angle is sufficient...

LMAO

And the comments by all the builders so far is how amazingly well the parts fit. Some almost a snap fit.

Test fitting wings...just testing...

All these photos I just posted are not by me...they are by some of the other builders. Everyone is working at their own pace and on whatever area of the kit they chose....

Forgot this one....

Intakes.....

Main gear...

Some beginning stages of the engines...

Some test fitting of the front gear well...

More cockpit...

Okay..some cockpit stuff...

Yes! It works!

Just testing the linking of a picture from Fotki.

Gentlemen.....I don't appreciate having to come in this thread to delete political posts. DON'T DO IT!!!

Sure is.....

That it is...for me anyway. I'm not quite in the class some of these guys are in but with their help I'll get through.

And here is the link to the photos of all the sprues on my Fotki site... https://public.fotki.com/tsumner/scale-modeling/jet-airplane-models/amk-f-14d-sprue-shots/?

Well, here is the link to my Fotki album at least for now. I also took photos of all the sprues in hi-def that are on FB only so far. I'll make another album on Fotki with all those photos shortly. https://public.fotki.com/tsumner/scale-modeling/jet-airplane-models/amk-f-14d/

Okay guys...you don't have to succumb to Facebook if you don't want to. No sense arguing about it... I will post my photos here too as I go along. Just cuz I love you guys! 🙂 Here are the first 3. There are things (in any kit) that one can work on without the instructions right? Wheels/tires, cockpit parts, landing gear, etc etc. I'm starting with the wheels/tires. They are split wheels that mount on separate wheels. Aaaand I forgot you can only load up to 102K at a time.. so now I'll have to resize my photos for you guys. That's one advantage FB has....any size photo goe

I don't know about any of that because like I said...I have no inside information. From what I understand the tweaks to the molds are just that...minor tweaks for some burrs...what we commonly call flash. The box and decals ARE finished. I'm guessing it's just the instructions they are finishing up now. I had no conversations with Sio about any shipping dates so I know no more about that than anyone else. I could see shipping in September...

I will try very hard, along with the others to give everyone a decent build impression. But I am not anywhere near any kind of Tomcat expert to be able to make observations on accuracy issues. For that I will defer to you guys who really know your Tomcat stuff. But we're also not going to allow the group to descend into a bitch zone about this inaccuracy or that inaccuracy. You guys can see that for yourselves and can comment here. I have no problem with you guys stealing my photos and posting them here....

An announcement I just made on a few groups and on the new group I made just for this build... I've been in contact with Sio quite a bit and while I don't have any "inside info" it is my understanding that they are just working on a couple of molds getting the burrs cleaned up and working on the instructions. So it appears that the production kits are coming very soon now. Hello all! My name is Terry Sumner and I am the Admin to this group with Steve. When I saw that AMK had a group build going on with 10 modelers in Malaysia I thought we ought to be doing the same thing in the go

Please keep your indignation comments to yourselves. Keep this thread on topic...that is ... The kit.

Got a lonnnng ways to go to get to the 463 pages of the Moai Vincent thread!
