delayar Posted May 13, 2024 Share Posted May 13, 2024 Hi! After a long time I finished another model kit. I was slowed down because I was very busy with other things. However, after one and a half year, I finally finished the kit. It is the Tamiya kit, mostly OOB, with the exception of the Eduard seat belts, the TER and MK.82s from Eduard, and the extra Tamiya decals for the canopy seals and burner cans.

Sebastijan Posted May 13, 2024 Share Posted May 13, 2024 Great job! Wish they'd transfer at least a part of these colourful markings to the F-14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted May 13, 2024 Share Posted May 13, 2024 How were the Tamiya decals in the box? You did a fantastic job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They go on quite well, especially with some decal softener. Of course they are thicker than Cartograf decals, but they are fine. larger ones can be a little brittle, but I had no troubles with those.

DavidRezabek Posted June 21, 2024 Share Posted June 21, 2024 How did the Eduard racks and bombs fit the Tamiya pylons? I’ve been waiting for a Tamiya special release with air-to-ground ordnance but it hasn’t materialized. Can’t do a Marine bird with just air-to-air! That would be sacrilege!

BillS Posted June 21, 2024 Share Posted June 21, 2024 Truly beautiful down to the hardware on the seats, wow! Surgical quality all the way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You need to thin the mounting points of the eduard parts a little bit, then they fit very well into the holes of the Tamiya pylons. 2 hours ago, BillS said: Truly beautiful down to the hardware on the seats, wow!
