I'd like to add to the HB wing discussion that apart from the too large slats sitting at the wrong angle when extended the flap hinges all need rebuilding to look presentable (yes, that is a subjective issue) and joining the acual top and bottom wing half require plenty of filler (as Brian points out). Not exactly a walk in the park, but of course it's still manageable for anyone who has the time and patience. But in my view life is just too short...

Hmm... until AMK release the actual kit I believe that everything (and a lot more) really has been said in this thread by now. (But yes I know, I could just stop following this thread...)

Will or would? 😛 Sorry, but how great it would be with something like a Tomcat in 1/32 from Tamiya... and so far no word about one. Not to de-rail this thread but I guess the common theme is Tomcat kits we probably not will see released in a long time... 😏

Sorry, I asked Hobbyeasy but never got a response about transferring my pre-order so I never pursued the request. But cancelling the pre-order was indeed possible.

Well, managed to cancel my AMK pre-order. Tamiya F-14D, here I come!

Ok, thanks! To me this situation doesn't seem to be one of those cases where no news is good news. After seeing those pics of the somewhat peculiar tail section I am leaning towards cancelling my pre-order. Time is just too short and there are too many new kits out there. But that's me.

Sorry, but what is the latest word on release? I guess it's 2019 either way...

Nice artwork! In that scale I guess decals is the way to go.

Btw, those VF-1 markings look simple enough to paint on using a set of custom cut masks. Now if someone would create the masks... 😏

Any chance of this item coming back in production? Seeing that the complete correction set is still OOP I guess the chances are slim, but still thought I should ask. 😊

Anyone who has a spare of this item to sell me? Please post here or PM me if so. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

2054 is the set I have, I’m safe! 😄 Thanks again, Scott!

Again, sorry for being a bit impatient while waiting for the book, but the STENCEL SJU-8 seat mentioned above is the same as the seat included in the Aires 'late' A-7E cockpit set, right? I mean, as opposed to the seat included in the Aires 'early' cockpit set.

Thanks, I look forward to receiving the book and get going with my project. I haven't done any WIP threads for ages but I may start one when the time comes. 😊

Thanks Geoff! I guess Trumpeter never bothered to include alternate wheels in their D and E... I don't have my E kit at hand and as of now I have a set of Harold's AMS Resin wheels, which I believe are for the E version.
