  1. Thanks a lot Kursad! Now I understand why I was not able to see it anywhere, Let’s get one so ! Thanks for all your amazing sheets đŸ˜‰
  2. Kursad? I cannot see the tail number and the hull number of the CV-22 version… Are they really on the sheet ? thanks !
  3. Hi! Did you manage to get the ASPI exhaust done ? We definitely need them in 1/48….
  4. Hi Sebastian, I can send you the kit instruction and check with all the boxes I have which one is the best ... Got tens of it... Let me know Regards, Erwan
  5. Hi Chris! Did you got my PM ? Thanks, Erwan
  6. Yes! GRU-7 for its whole career, either as -B or -D
  7. Wwooowww.... Yeah there can be some hot discussion goin on with a kit modeled like this! And yes guys, Hi-Rez pictures are a must... so,this Tomcat unicorn is still wandering untamed....!
  8. It seem that just about every configuration could have been done in those early days...but the picture I found lack some resolution... I am not sure but this may be the proof that we were looking for... Another clearer picture could suit me.... but.... it seem hard to find ... just a picture of 163223 in VX-23 markings!
  9. Ha ha Stefan ...!!! Look what I found... What do you think about this one... if I tell you I typed "F-14A early wing cover " on google...? What is your take...? After having looked at it for a good 15 min and compared, it seem to me that what we see here is production strakes with pre-production early long wing cover...the end towards the fin bases are too straight to be late-style cover... or not ?
  10. Hi guys ! I have heard and read about that.... Got an extensive Tomcat picture & books collection, but never managed to find one picture of those VF-1 Tomcat with early overwing fairing... Any picture please ? Thanks !
  11. Hi, This load is not known to have been used like this in real life operation... Look like more a museum display...
  12. Hi guys, Next is the TCS chin pod. Sanded to bare, panel lined and riveted. The magnificent red lens from the kit fly down straight to the trash. The tube from the lens is drilled, then sanded smooth. A round shaped piece of plasticard is cut, then placed and glued inside the tube. The whole inside is then painted black. An evergreen tube is cut to simulate the telephoto inside the TCS. Its outside is painted black, its inside chrome ad the polished, to mimic the telephoto lens. A clear lens is cut through a clear plastic sheet, then glued to the te
  13. Hi Guys! As promised, a little update about that baby... The whole upper and lower part of the fuselage have been riveted... Which is...excruciating and time consuming! (I stopped counting at 1500...). The wings are next for this treatment. As boring it may be, it gives this kit a totally new and more "real" look and is worth the work. I have compared it to the other one I have inbox, and it is not the same kit! The airbrakes have been glued closed, on both the upper and lower part.
