Upon learning from Scale Scriber that Tamiya will definitely have simpler parts break down and small part counts compared to this, I will be taking back my hasty decision made earlier. I will no longer buying this kit and will be just waiting for the Tamiya rendition.

All you need to do is get the Late A kit, it has all you need to build a B model except for engine cans, which are readily available.

Good to know. So should I buy only resin nozzles and that is all, may I build Bravo?

 

Pretty much. Unless the squadron you want to build had the SparrowHawk HUD, then you'll need to go to Phase Hanger for that item.

first of all the nose as you can see on the photos compare to the tamiya which should be very accurate ! it's a nice kit lots of details but this error it's quite noticiable don´t you think ? the naca ir vents on the engine nacelle have a look if you have the kit and compare to the real photos ! well i managed to adjust it ! now i still must verify the wings and exhaust but i'm not 100% sure if there are errors as well there !!!

I am not a Tomcat guy, so would you like be so kind and explain the problem?

don't get me wrong is a nice kit ! but very expensive and after their very good su 27 /30 series you wouldn't expected things like that i kno perfect kit don't exist ! but the light grey plastic on the left side of the photo is the tamiya f14 which by far is the most accurate f14 available

Perhaps you could post an image from a side perspective, showing fuselages in a nose to nose perspective.

 

If I understand correctly, the issue is that the GWH nose doesn't point downwards enough? That would be quite an error for the price it goes for.
