Every new update is trying to pull me away from the AMK kit. Must...resist....

Resistance is futile...LOL! You know you want it [insert evil henchmen laugh <here>]...LOL!

I'm getting some update sets ready for Steel Beach. It will include the ECM antennas for under the wing glove, a new boat tail with the ECM antenna, vinyl stiffener plates, and a clear TCS pod. I'm to the point where the clear resin is looking good for what I need. I'm also going to have a set of clear navigation lights. Other items will include a TARPS pod and hopefully a Bullwinkle pod if I can get it to cast well. I will attempt a backdate set with the early 7 grill gun vent as well as the original beaver tail.

Hi Darren,

Update possible to make a VF-2 or VF-1 Vietnam war ?

Does it include the other lines of paints like Gunze etc. or just the usual X, XF & TS paint codes?

If you are building US F-14A its Gunze H315 upper surfaces and H316 lower surfaces. However for lower surfaces combination of H51 Gull Gray and H311 is a better option as with age the bright white in real aircraft will be dull in shade. Hope this helps :)

Hi,

Looks like another great sheet. :thumbsup:/>

All with the 7 grill gun gas vent.

Will Tamiya ever do that part, gtypecanare? Or do we just have to hope that Darren succeeds in casting that?

Cheers, Stefan.

Stefan,

I don't have any information on a 7 grill gun gas vent for this kit.

Regards,

George

BuNo 160379, VF-41 Cat was Block 95 built machine and I'm pretty sure it should have two holed gun vent.

Oops, yes.

I only looked at the colour profiles and didn't check the BuNo's. Very likely that Geoff just used a template of early Tomcats to prepare the art and that these profiles are not be taken as instructions.

Cheers, Stefan.
