Mustang51p

Thanks GW perfect info, I just wasn’t sure as I know some manufactures copy/take some parts from others. looks like I’ll either have to wait for a A version or build a D version Tomcat.

Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply, I did look at Kazan but the price of the kit plus the shipping to the UK then of course C/E cost make this expensive and out of my pocket, were as £18 for Black Dog. I understand the engines where different as the F14A used a TF30 Pratt & Whitney and the D version used F110 by General Electric’s but reading articles and looking at photos the area in question doesn’t look that much different?

Hi everyone. I need some help from anyone that know F14’s I’m looking at build another F14A soon, but I want to add some extra detail I’ve got a 1/48 Has kit which I’ve managed to get the verlinden avionics bays to show of the port side. But I want to add some other bits but I can only find them in the F14D and I need F14A so question what’s the difference between these two versions when it comes to the centre spine and the underside engine area. I’ve added photos of the areas if that helps.

Thank you @GreyGhost @Quixote74 and @GW8345 You guys seam to have a wealth of knowledge 😀 thank you. I’ll be keeping it to just Air to Air configuration 2 Sidewinders and 2 Sparrows on the outer pylons and 2 Phoenix on the front centre pallets, then and I’ll have to see about getting another F14 model so I can have the Lantrin fitted would look at a F14D instead. @Quixote74 yes the model I’m doing is the high viz version the best colour scheme “well that’s just my own opinion” and as you mentioned the A-6 that’s another kit I would like to build. Thank you g

Hi everyone, Sorry to bring this topic backup, or ask these questions in the wrong place. I'm currently building the Italeri kit of the VF-1 Wolfpack and have a question regarding payloads. Did this aircraft ever carry a Lantirn pod and if so what payload would have gone on her, I stubled across this forum while trying to find info on payloads. I have the Academy version of the Bombcat which I was going to take the weapons from as i'm going to build that one as the F14 from Top Gun so I wont need all the weapons. And one more question Tomcat vs
