Reddog-03 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Are there any good sources for a 1/72 F-14 original beavertail with the dielectric panels removed? I know Hasegawa made a limited edition VF-1 kit with it but dies anyone make an aftermarket part? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also I believe that The new academy kit comes with and also the Great Wall kit has it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 GWH new 1/72 F-14A has the early beaver tail with the dielectric panels removed. Comes with VF-1 marking too. https://www.72news.eu/2019/12/gwh-f-14a-tomcat-inbox.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The way Academy engineered the kit, I am pretty sure a early vintage beaver tail release will come out eventually. They just had to leave that piece off for this one I guess given they gave us practically everything else. I can't necessarily wait though so I am going to have a go at adding a dirt cheap Airfix/MPC beaver tail to one of my Academy builds for a little Wolfpack action. The Airfix kit will also give me an IFR probe, should I desire doing an Iranian bird in the not too distant future as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
