Curt B Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 What does anyone know about the subject kit? Is it simply the AMK F-14D with a few 3D printed parts? Or is there more to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markiii Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yes, it is an upgraded kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Be wary of those 3D printed parts. I saw an in box review and they were very very rough - like, I wouldn’t want to use them the resolution was so bad. To each their own 🤷♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've not heard this before...and 'unusable but detailed' parts seem pointless. No sense in paying for parts you won't use, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Seraph Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I have no idea if the Tomcat parts are better but check out the printed parts from the "improved" SIO release of AMK's MiG-31 kit : https://www.themodellingnews.com/2021/07/in-boxed-mikoyan-mig-31bmbsm-foxhound.html?m=1 Facets almost everywhere.

Not a review, but a good set of photos of the painted 3D printed parts. https://www.modeliukai.lt/lv/sio-models-f-14d-super-tomcat-148-k48003 Anyone calling them rough is exaggerating. They actually look as good as most 3D printed aftermarket items. I have the MIG-31 SIO kit and the 3D printed parts are OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
