galileo1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 So, where can I get the first issue? I don't build in 1/72 but I'll make an exception with the Tomcat. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oggy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 So, where can I get the first issue? I don't build in 1/72 but I'll make an exception with the Tomcat. Rob HLJ carries it but it's in Japanese. About $7 and low stock for the May issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Inquisitor Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry but the link just don't work and can't find the July issue. Can you provide a live link? Thank you S. The link is not working/live because the issue comes out in late MAY and most likely the item isn't even in the system yet. Wait a few days or keep checking the link till it's live.

polar bear Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Lance, Thanks so much for the link! Mu order placed. BTW, do you know how could I order spare parts or trees? Scott used to hold this service but he quitted after last earthquake. Rainbow ten was also stop ordering spare parts. Regards, Nat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Interesting..The fwd fuselage breakdown looks just like the HB kit.. It really doesn't. It's vaguely similar to the 1/48 kit from Hobby Boss, but looks absolutely nothing like their 1/72 kit. So: Entirely NEW TOOL kit, designed by Fine Molds, which is and will only ever be available with these three magazine issues. If you're at *all* interested in the kit I'd suggest you jump on it, because FM's kits are typically gorgeous and this is an extremely limited release; you won't be able to find it a year or two from now. You won't even be able to find it come Christmas. At least, not at MSRP. They might release the kit as an A or B in a few years, but given the track record for other FM/MG kits, there's a really good chance this will be your only shot. I'm just bummed that it doesn't seem to include any weapons. Full pylons, yeah, but no ordnance. :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Link is live. Thank ya! Just ordered. If it's anything like their 1/72 Zeros, it'll be the 1/72 F-14D kit to end all F-14D kits :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I want that! Especially after building their 1/144 Falcon, which doesn't even need glue to be held together! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PMG Offramp Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thank you for the link, order placed, 2 for myself & 1 for my respected uncle modeller. Never had FM tooled kits in hands, quite impatient to see how this one compares to Hasegawa & Fujimi latest gems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm eager to see some reviews! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galileo1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just pre-ordered all three volumes. Like I said, I don't ever build in 1/72 but I simply couldn't pass up a new-tooled Tomcat. Can't wait to get the first volume to check out the magazine too. Thanks for the link! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anders_Isaksson Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Wow, a brand new Tomcat (regardless of scale) is something I consider big news! While I would have preferred to see the F-14A I am sure that one will come along from FM soon enough. Order for all three issues placed. Can't wait to see the plastic with my own eyes, those exhaust assemblies alone look beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
