I.Martin Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 When you say 'early' do you mean the 7 hole initial vent or the most common 2 grilled vents? The NACA entered with the B model but you can find some B's with older vents. All D had the NACA and some A's were retrofited with it. I.Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 I had planned on doing an F-14A VF 84 (1978) off the USS Nimitz. I am looking for the early style gun vents the 2 grilled vents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 1 minute ago, F4DPhantomII said: Which kits had them? A quick run-down: Early 7-holed louvered vent - Wolfpack boxing and Bounty Hunters boxing. The Bounty Hunters kit contains parts for both the early beaver tail and standard beaver tail. If you can find one, it's worth getting. Standard 2 grill vent - Atlantic and Pacific boxings. NACA vent - Any of the later releases. Check the box art. Steel Beach has both the early vent and the NACA vent in resin. The kit NACA vent doesn't fit very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
