viper730 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Great catch and question ...I looked and It follows the panel lines on the kit part in front of the windscreen Maybe they sheet is not 100% complete or they expect you to paint it. Along with that I was wondering why they dont give you blue decals for the Vertical Stabs...Gotta wonder..Maybe they have a color coming out and then they have another sale....

That I have decals for, anyway. That's more like it. Gotta support our amazing decal producers some how! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a4s4eva Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 None of the decal options do it for me. I'm after something low viz, that said, I'm sure Fightertown/Furball will be release some sheets Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viper730 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I blew up the photos as much as possible and can see a hint of tail stiffeners. where you ask ALL New Tails with Stiffeners molded on😍. The L shapes at the top left of the D specific parts tree is for the HUD,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not, the F-14A was that price, this one has an elaborate weapons sprue, I’m hoping though to find them at that price. Probably out of Asia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 No kidding but what was still a mystery was if you had to remove old detail abd add them or would we get new tails now you know New Tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Are the lights already in clear plastics or still same as that of F-14A? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Someone should grab the Tamiya Tomcat from their booth and do a “flyby” with it at the AMK booth while making jet engine noises just to rub it in. 😂 Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably out of Asia. I think the F-14A MSRP was like $115 US or so but it hit the street at about $80 if you order from Japan. We'll see. I'm buying anyway. Street price will determine how frequently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yeah but at that price what are you paying shipping wise? $20-25? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 One thing’s for sure: the new kit will come with some good spare parts! Looks like the modeler will be left with early style pilots (can’t get enough of those), first-generation wheels, early Sidewinder rails, ordnance, etc. Someone out there has to have more photos!

Don't hit me, but I go through hobby ebay stores for kits (and kits only. Sprue Brothers for AM. Decals from the maker. Brick and mortar HS for paints, etc). Shipping is free at a lot of those based in Japan. Even Horizon does free shipping from their ebay store sometimes. Sure, it won't arrive tomorrow but I ain't in a hurry.

They probably included the original pilot bodies because the SV-2B/LPU-21 combo was still in use up until the early 2000s when these were replaced by the CMU-33/LPU-33 set. The old body is appropriate for the VF-11 option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being as much an ASE geek as I am a model geek, I'm in that population of four so I am glad that they did it. And most of my builds are post-HGU-33. But it is a good looking helmet and getting -33 heads with the MBU-14 mask with enough detail to tell the difference in this scale is very nice. You can probably add 2 more people to the group who cares at about accurate helmets. Edited May 10, 2018 by Swordsman422 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
