Collin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The FB Tamiya F-14 build page went private, so those of us not on FB lost out. This GB will help ease that. May even join in Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the 50th anniversary - this is just the boost I need to continue working on mine and strive to make it to the finish line this time. I'm sure I'm not the only one?

I was going to do a Tamiya F-14A that I have that I have not yet started. I also have a Tamiya D that I went as far as assembling the cockpit then stopped. Although I wouldn’t mind building the A, I would like to finish a kit I have started before diving into another. As crackerjazz said, this GB would be the kick in the rear to finish that kit and clear one off the “Island of Misfit Builds” aka the Shelf of Doom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SBARC Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 F-14 GB forum is set up....PM me if you need anything further. PM me through the forums is better than e-mailing me. I have added Shawn (phantom) as a moderator because he is the wise man on the hill here on ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I will allow partially built kits, as long as its no more than like the cockpit or minor work being done. Any questions just ask Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Would this qualify, eraucubsfan? Here's where I'm at with my Top Gun F-14 twin build. Cockpits are done save for the ejection seats and IP shrouds. Intakes, exhausts and fuel tanks are painted up and main hulls glued together but will need some re-scribing due to sanding. Have to look for the clear parts which I've misplaced. I wanted to add scratchbuilt canopy details, add a flight crew, paint/weather the hulls properly and mount them in-flight on a base. With my track record even a year is too short -- yes, even on a Tamiya F-14 : ) but it being the 50th I intend to keep plugging away until I get them done for the deadline.

Spectre711 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Okay, I couldn't figure out the FB GBs and nobody posted yet so I was wondering. I'll be No. 2. Edited January 16 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
