gtypecanare Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Let’s see if this works trying to use my Twitter account to post images. Recently finished this for a hobby retailer show this past September from the test shot we were sent in July. We will be showing it at OrangeCon this upcoming weekend at California State University Fullerton. Edited October 11, 2018 by gtypecanare Add more images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Finally received mine just last weekend. After working on other companies kits over the past couple months, I need a break from fit issues etc. This kit may be just what I need to relax with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After working on other companies kits over the past couple months, I need a break from fit issues etc. This kit may be just what I need to relax with. The Tamiya F-14 will definitely give you a break from fit issues! It goes together so well that I have had trouble coming to grips with how soon it is ready for paint. It takes a direct comparison to really bring the meaning of “state of the art fit and engineering” into focus. I recently cleared off my work table, and took out the Great Wall MiG-29 [9-12], and spread the sprues out in their bags. Well, one thing led to another, and before I knew it the sprue nippers were out and I was test fitting parts. As detailed as the GWH kit is, I was struck by the inexact fit of many parts like the engine intakes and nacelles and the vertical tails. Again, great detail - and the one-piece missiles are really remarkable - but the parts fit is a distant comparison with Tamiya. Have a good time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Incaroad Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Thanks George! Be talkin to them soon. Man, that was painless! That sprue was less than $5.00 + tax and shipping. Edited February 8, 2019 by Incaroad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Can you buy the sprues 1 by 1 until you get them all even if you didn't buy the model? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Is there a similar service for customers in Europe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Any chance sprues F, H, and K for the F-14A are available for purchase? That and some Steel Beach parts I could convert the D to a B. Edited February 18, 2019 by Swordsman422 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) This question may have been discussed above and elsewhere, but wanted to confirm to be sure. Tamiya F-14A sprues: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/kit_tam_61114.shtml Tamiya F-14D sprues: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/kit_tam_61118.shtml True or False: You can make a late F-14A from 1/48 Tamiya F-14D with the following: - Get “Sprue K” from the A kit (engine cans and nozzles): https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/pages/tam_61114_parts4.shtml - Get aftermarket GRU-7(A) seats - Get ECM blisters under the glove vanes (Steel beach) - Get TCS chin pod (Quickboost) Everything else for a late A (boat tail ECM, NACA vents, tail L-braces, late wheels, BOL rails, antennas on the spine, cockpit panels) is already included in the D boxing. If this is wrong, what is the best way for a late A (aside from the Steel beach conversion set, I think)? Thank you. Edited September 16, 2019 by Janissary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
