Reddog-03 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It looks like your wings are in oversweep. Did you modify the sweep mechanism? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reddog-03 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That's awesome news. I thought I'd heard someone say the kit wings would only go to 68 degree full sweep. I've been looking at the sprue photos trying to figure out how I would have to modify the wing sweep mechanism to put them in oversweep. If the kit comes with that capability, it's one less thing to worry about. And one more reason to love this kit! Can't wait to get mine and take a shot at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skystreak80 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Awesome job i really love the subtle weathering and streaks it gives the correct scale look. Just about to go to the hobby shop to collect mine :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet14 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very nice kit and build will the SB update set allow most of the A models of the 80s and 90s to be built? I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to F-14 blocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm working on a late A upgrade as well as an early A backdate, so eventually you'll be able to build just about any F-14A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afterburner Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 That's some hot and sexy there sir. I've always loved your Tomcat work since I first saw it in FSM. Always a pleasure to see a Master of Tomcats at work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swimmer25k Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 What did you think of the cockpit? I haven't seen any pictures of the finished product. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
