picknpluck Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Looks good! It would be even better with a LANTIRN pod, Â though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks very much Darren for releasing this. My first Tamiya F-14 will be one from VF-1 using the Furball decals but I think I will have to go to your other post where you give the serial numbers and what I have to do. I think I need this set anyway. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhanna1701 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Awesome job Darren! Hard to tell from that pic, but is that the square PTID and Lantirn control stick in the bottom middle/right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adamitri Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 How much is it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 11 minutes ago, adamitri said: How much is it ? It will retail at $34.99 I tried to keep the cost down as much as possible and still make a few bucks. I know the Tamiya kit can be pricey. If purchased individually, all the parts and pieces would cost $75, so it's a savings of over 50%. Hopefully this set will be helpful to those that want a B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ORANGF15Guy Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Hey Darin, Do you know when it will arrive at Sprue Bros? Â I've been waiting for a D conversion and don't want to miss the first shot! Edited April 11, 2017 by ORANGF15Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Awesome consider two sold... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify, this will be a B conversion. With that said, you can pick this set up along with a dual chin pod and then all you'd have to do is get an interior, or just close up the canopy with a pair of NACES seats and no one would be the wiser. As far as availability, I dropped them off on Sunday, so they should go into the system sometime this week. I think I better start making more, though. I have a feeling my first run isn't going to be enough. If they sell out, I'll get some more to Sprue Bros. within a week. That's the nice thing about living in the same city as Gordon. I can get him restock's relatively quickly. That, and I got to roam the warehouse. :-) Edited April 11, 2017 by Darren Roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
