I can't say I blame people for hoping kit decals cover subjects NOT available in AM. My point is that there is no reason for myself to get lathered over decals. Just gimme the kit!

But don't worry, have big D plans for both Tamiya and AMK. ITMT, we've covered several timeframes of VF-31 OEF/OIF/OIFIII/Last Crusie VF-213 OIFIII/Last Tomcat Cruise VF-2 OIF Last Tomcat Cruise VX-9 VX-30 NAWC STRIKE TEST I imagine a Big D sheet to include a 'greatest hits' resized and some new jets the thavent been covered. -brian Brian, have you ever thought of doing some 1/32 F/A-18F sets that are line jet subdued? CAG fans always seem to get their choices, line jets with plenty of mission markings seem to be less popular....but we need them too. 1/32 Scale Foxtrots (line jets) are few and far between.

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 While I'm all about aftermarket decals, I think tamiya has really stepped up and delivered amazing sheets with the F-14A. 3 options, tons of markings, details, cockpits, weapons! I'm really impressed to the level of completeness they include with their kits. I'm expecting the F-14D to be the same way. Looks at the number of builds that use the kit decals and it's impressive. Of course that won't stop Fightertown and I'm sure many others from producing AM sheets ;) brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at your quotes, the F-14 on display in Canton OH is a VF-32 F-14B... Maybe an F-14D did a flyover of Canton for the Hall Of Fame game at some point ?... For Churchills speech, I was thinking about the VF-101 F-14A jet that crashed in 2002 but the tail washed up on a beach in Ireland 3 years later... that's about all the brain cells I can spare for the morning ;) cheers brian Edited April 27, 2018 by Brian P: Fightertown Decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomcatfan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Is fightertown still going to release that Tomcats at war decal sheet? I would really like a VF-31 line jet with some serious mission markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What is even going on....8 years of no modeling, a stash of Hasegawa F-14's that I got rid of and a stash of Fightertown decals I have to find, I come back to modeling in 2018 in a world where Tamiya has made an F-14A and is releasing an F-14D?! I bought a load of AM to turn the F-14A into the F-14D and now this. Man......at least I will have that blue IRIAF F-14A...now if only someone will do the splinter camo.

gtypecanare Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 7 Days until the SHS! We should have pricing and release date information for the US market by the time of the show. Stay Tune! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 "We should have pricing and release date information for the US market by the time of the show." I love it when we get such information especially when it comes from a company like Tamiya that, for the most part, is bang on with their release dates...no feet dragging . My credit card is eagerly waiting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While I do have a stack of decals (mostly Fightertown) waiting to leap onto Tamiya Tomcats, I think I’ll start with two kits: one to build as a D, and one to bash with a Tamiya A to make a VF-143 B. Great at time to be a Tomcat fanatic and decal sheet hoarder! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Canton has a semi-pro football team named the Hurricanes and Hurricanes played a big part in the Battle of Britain...32nd scale Hawker Hurricane?
