boom175 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Ok Gang, I want to do "Miss Molly" from VF-111 using the existing Tamiya kit mainly because my shelf space is a little limited so I will do it with the wings swept. From what I understand the Tamiya kit is a block 95 or so with the pitot tube on the nose but doesn't have all the appropriate bumps and such. So what do I have to change/add etc. to get to a block 126? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This should cover it... https://phasehangarresin.com/collections/48001-1-48/products/48069-f-14a-tomcat-late-exterior-set-without-tcs-clear-lens?variant=32678706675794 They also sell individual components, such as the ECM blisters, tails, GGVs, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Tamiya F-14A kit is a Block 85 to EARLY Block 95 jet. "Miss Molly", 161621, was a Block 125 jet. She was TARPS capable and finished in overall FS 16440, Gloss Gull Gray. You'll need the following to upgrade the Tamiya F-14A kit to Block 125 standards, - TCS pod with clear lens. - ECM antennas for the glove vanes. - Beaver tail with the ECM antenna on it. - Tail stiffeners. - Early style gun vent ( kit part ). - Late wheels. If there is anything I missed I'm sure others will correct me. Good luck with your build. Steve "TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!" P.S. Seeing your profile pic, I'm sure we've crossed paths on some flightline somewhere before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
