Pep Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Found this link over at BritModeller. My link Has anyone heard anything about it? If its really the hobby boss molds I will be getting one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Don't think they would say HB Plastic If it was Academy plastic...That said This should be a very nice release...I have the Good Morning Da Nang Phantom kit and It is filled with a lot of Resin, PE, cloth belts and Fantastic Decal goodness...I may have to get one myself despite having a couple of HB Tomcats already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You're right Pep, this should be a good value. I've got Eduard's MiG-29A boxing, and the bits they add make for quite a nice improvement over the original Academy plastic. Caracal's Heroes of Kosciuszko will make it an even sweeter build. Too bad I already have both HB kits... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 F-14 from Eduard, new tool or nothing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) F-14 from Eduard, new tool or nothing... then my guess is that's gonna be nothing for you sadly... too bad Eduard did make correction sets, because if it's the HB kit that they'll use as basis, the intakes would have need a little shape correction... otherwise, it's rather a good news for Tomcat's enthusiasts.

Manuel J. Armas S. Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sadly, but AMK Kits will make a new tool of F-14 Family... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Sadly, but AMK Kits will make a new tool of F-14 Family... heard about that a while ago... but there's still a couple of model before in the output pipeline... like the still very awaited 1/48 MiG-31...(and a now less awaited 1/48 Fouga Magister) so, as long as you'r not in a hurry, you can keep calmly wait...

galileo1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I don't really like the HB Tomcat kits over the Hasegawa ones but I'll probably make an exception with this release. It's going to have lots of AM to corrects some of the inaccuracies (I hope) so I'll give this a shot when it comes out. Thanks for the heads up, Pep.

xavi84 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If the decals are from Furball Aero-Design then, I'll take two or three! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm in for one, maybe two....the Eduard reboxed Academy F-4 kits are a delight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look here: http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=68170&start=4875 In Czech is retailed price 1950CZK (around 98USD). Interesting... The Brassin cans look a bit iffy (not easy to tell from the pic though), and appear to be both open -I imagine the ends must be cast separately, so maybe there will be a closed/mixed option as well. Another good package, if you don't mind the issues inherent in the base kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At $98 I can buy pretty much any of the Hasegawa Tomcats and add some aftermarket to boot. Too bad. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Eduard is making an upgrade set for their upgraded boxing of the Hobbyboss kit... EDU48817 1:48 Eduard PE - F-14A Tomcat Upgrade Set (EDU kit) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galileo1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Eduard was selling the kit at the NATS this year and wanted a whopping $105 for it (after the guy I spoke to told me that the $105 is the price after a discount they were giving). Needless to say, I said no thanks and kept walking... Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Eduard is making an upgrade set for their upgraded boxing of the Hobbyboss kit... So they are upgrading their own upgrade? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
