Incredible machine!!!

Just got order preparation notice from NY. They starting a little early!?
-
Oh yes indeed! Both "B" & "C" variants would be epic!

I have been considering buying another display cabinet or two but its more likely the last of my 1:18 scale cars display will be packed away and using that space before I go buying more cabinets.. hehe! the abbreviations can be a little confusing to some at times!

I think I'll get the Tamiya 1:32 F-14A kit (60313) which looks well proportioned and has variable sweep wings! -

so you reckon a Tamiya 1:32 kit would be a better option? -
1:48 F-14A Tomcat - Macross Zero - Shin Kudo custom
spanner replied to spanner's topic in Model kits
Those Monograms kits are hard to find now days.. I was looking at either a Tamiya or Trumpeter 1:32 F-14 preferably a "D" variant.. But not to paint up in Macross Zero colors. I want to have a real US Navy squadron paint scheme instead. Also I see you can buy some detail up parts for most of these kits. Though not sure if I would bother with most of them. I also looked at Super Hornets, Eagle & Phantom kits but the Tomcat is still my fav. Phantom is a close 2nd. -
the CF-0A is still to come also yes?
-
thanks for the update Jason!
-
Hey I've already told Jason that im happy to wait till last!
-
Nice work!

1:48 F-14A Tomcat - Macross Zero - Shin Kudo custom
spanner replied to spanner's topic in Model kits
I think I saw that one of the Tamiya kits specified that it does have variable wings.. I'd love a 1:32 Tomcat! or Phantom or Super Hornet or an Eagle! would love to see those photo's derex! Thanks mate! well Lancelot did all the hard work! The canopy is glued down but I should be able to open it back up. Just gotta find the pilot figure now.. yes indeed this kit was a poor detail and fit. He did struggle to get parts to stay together in areas and the surface details were a problem too but he was able to work around it all and finished up with a nice bit of work! He did ask me what I wanted to do with the small winglets (either keep or delete) which I chose to keep as I really don't mind them there but now im kinda regretting that choice as its definitely nicer visually and historically more accurate not to have them. But I can't backpedal on that now and the model looks great either way. I think I will try find a 1:32 scale Tomcat or similar aircraft of the era for another build up! -
Cant wait to get my hands on these things!!
-
Cool!

1:48 F-14A Tomcat - Macross Zero - Shin Kudo custom
spanner replied to spanner's topic in Model kits
That sucks that the Hasegawa kits wings don't swing.. Problem with the Revell kits is they are kinda crappy to begin with.. the variable wings are the kits highlight! But Lancelot did a darn good job with it. He was saying the panel lining are raised lines and not actual grooves which made highlighting them tricky. And not coming with two pilot figures is pretty strange too! Really needs a RIO. I wonder what the Tamiya kits are like? From pics I have googled they certainly look pretty good! I wonder if they have variable wings? -
if the VF-0S went on sale with a reasonable discount then I'd definitely pick up a 3rd one!
-
wow thats a good price! A shame i dont really want to buy another..

spanner replied to spanner's topic in Model kits
Yeah they did delete them and the later variants were built without them entirely I believe. I kinda dont mind them but then again the Tomcat does look way more sleek without them. -
im doubting I'll get mine before the new year as most of the services here shut down for a few days over xmas so im guessing they'll arrive in the 1st to 2nd week of Jan..
