Janissary Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) I just came across this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1108396-quickboost-qb-48-800-f-14a-tomcat-gun-cover-early-tamiya Any news on the NACA vents? Edited May 7, 2018 by Janissary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joerg Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I have the early gun covers and have to say that they must have been designed for another kit, as the do not fit the Tamiya kit as one would expect from a product marketed under the label QUICKBOOST. To make it fit certainly won't be quick... Cheers, Joerg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Interesting. Good to know. So even if they came out with the NACA vents, it may not be a drop fit then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'm surprised they haven't come out with the NACA vents yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I integrated most of the kit part, so all you do is make one small cut and the rest is drop fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Darren. Is it NACA or early? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Janissary said: Darren. Is it NACA or early? Sorry about that. It's the early vent. Quickboost really needs to make a NACA vent. I don't think I can do the grill on the back end justice on the NACA vent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 AMUR Reaver made a PE "tune up" for the Hasegawa F-14D that included the NACA vents and the grill noted by Darren. Unfortunately, it is out of stock. They make a PE detail set for the Tamiya F-14A that has the old style vents. Perhaps they will now make one for the F-14D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
