Ed DeVivo Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ok... Im considering a Hobby Boss F-14A, with a Aires Resin cockpit and wheels... I have the Tamiya, AMK a few Has... I just want to try the HB for myself.... Any experience with that particular resin cockpit? What's everyones thoughts? Ive heard some complaints about the HB and wondering whether I should just move on.... lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Tamiya has one of the best F-14A's ever made. In my opinion. Well worth the money. Edited January 29, 2023 by airmechaja Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dai phan Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hi , I have built many HB kits. Those have some outline issues. That is why I now avoid them unless they have favorable reviews. I surely would go for Tamiya if I have the funds. Dai Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fly-n-hi Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I've built the HB F-14D. Its not a terrible kit. There are some fit issues here and there. All the panels on the nose are difficult to get lined up correctly and the exhausts needed some surgery to fit (may not be an issue with the F-14A). The kit's AIM-7s are not very good, either. I'd just build it OOB. I don't think its worth spending money on AM parts. That's my opinion, of course. Edited February 2, 2023 by Fly-n-hi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
