Anyway, with the number of AMK F-14s I have seen around the web, it seems like there should be a lot of wing sets available. Every time someone chooses the oversleep or fully swept function, there’s a set of dirty wings going unused. #opportunity


Still need to fabricate the slime light covers and nav lights. There are no spares for these in the box. Not too difficult though.

One thing I have not yet seen is a built-up ordnance set: every round, painted and decaled. If I ever get mine...

 

I aspire to build an inflight scene with an LGB post-drop, with the fins extended. When the kit includes that, it seems like a no-brainer.

 Should I do a resin set of gear bay plugs? That way you won't have to mess with trying to get the gear doors to fit shut.

I forgot that the slime lights are clear parts - which the real things were not, so no problem scratching those. I have never tried doing nav lights by attaching blocks of red or green clear plastic in the light cavities and sanding and polishing them to shape. Some day...

I think they are solid parts in the kit

I have closed up the gear bays on 3 Tamiya Tomcats with no drama so far, and for a flying F-14 I would probably use a Tamiya kit. Really, I only feel like I want two AMK kits - one for takeoff position, kneeling on the catapult, and one on the glide path about to engage the arresting gear.
