Darren Roberts Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 1 hour ago, Janissary said: What will be needed to make the existing Tamiya A into a late A? - Sprue D gives you the vertical stabs with the new braces (https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/pages/tam_61118_parts2.shtml) - Sprue J/L are the clear parts for the TARPS and D cockpit (https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/pages/tam_61118_parts2.shtml) - Sprue M/N gets you the NACA vents and the boat tail with ECM (https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/pages/tam_61118_parts3.shtml) It looks to me that for a late A, the TCS chin pod (quickboost)and the ECM bumps under the glove vane (steel beach) are the only items that are missing, correct? I think you still need the front glare shield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

George literally stated 4 days ago that they would be available soon. I do not believe he meant that soon. Give it a some time as I believe they are still on the way to the US.

Same questions as John, what is the difference between early vs late A glare shield? I hope the difference is reproducible with milliput and measly scratch-building skillz.

However, you'll still need the left front gear door for a late A. I'm not sure what sprue that's on. Edited September 19, 2018 by Darren Roberts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Janissary Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Wow. This basically means I can build a late A now! I already got one TCS pod from QB once, so can get it again, and I think I can manage to make the glove vane ECM bumps (or copy from the Hasegawa kit). Didn't realize how close we are to a late A.

I can't find them on your FB page. The weapons/data sheet is posted and so are the covers with profiles for both sheets on the fb page. 3rd 4th and 6th post down. I'd link it but I'm on my phone and it won't hyperlink the page for some reason ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evilmedic13 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Does anyone know the right color for the 213.jet, that doesn’t require mixing paints? Bright blue maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
