Darren Roberts Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I just finished casting a conversion with everything you need. The 48ers should have them shortly when his order gets to him and Sprue Bros. will have it when I take his order up on Monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish they would hurry up, and bring out a 'late' F-14A with all the bombcat goods! Edited August 19, 2019 by Parabat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Rumor has it that Tamiya is planning a "F-14A (Late)/ F-14B" kit like their F-16C/N "Aggressor/Adversary" release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are sold out I'm casting more over the next couple of weeks and will get them to him. I'm getting my classroom up and running, which is taking most of my time.

Maybe, but your masters and casting have improved alot since you began Darren. And you still offer a whole lot that others won't even begin to think of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 See if Darren was a science or art teacher... he could teach is class how molding and casting works. He would have free labor...... just saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't think about that! I do tell them that we spend so much time together during the school year that we're like a family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I recently had the realization that the Tamiya F-14D kit, the Steel Beach B conversion, and a spare Sprue K from the F-14A kit made for a better Late A conversion than trying to update the A kit. Especially if you're going for an OEF or OIF jet. Maybe they'll actually release a B/Late A kit about this time next year.
