seti88 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Here are how they look like on the stands which are different from the flight pose like stands in the normal f-14 releases... taken from their fb page.. Edited July 24, 2017 by seti88
Dobber Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Available for preorder at BBTS https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?SearchText=F-14 Chris
Chronocidal Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Looking pretty nice, I'm tempted. One question, are the wing glove pylons and phoenix pylons on the belly removable? I've always preferred the slick look of a clean F-14. Edited July 27, 2017 by Chronocidal
Dobber Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Yes they are, or at least on the standard Tomcat releases they are. I have their VF-1 Wolfpack F-14A and all weapons and pylons are separate. Chris
seti88 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Those open glove vanes looking good on the scheme .. Reminds me of flared collars, something from the macross era..
derex3592 Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Very nice details on these and nice clean finish, I'm tempted as well!
Chronocidal Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Holy cow, looking up the other Calibre Wings releases, I might have to get a few of these F-14s.. I've got a huge soft spot for VF-142 Ghostriders (the old 80s Monogram 1/48 kit markings), and they're releasing that scheme in November.. ugh. So much stuff to buy. I'm really tempted to go grab the Wolfpack version now, and park it on my desk at work. Right now the only decoration I've got is a smattering of Dilbert cartoons stuck to the walls.
derex3592 Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I have a Republic Star Destroyer, 2 fuzzy Star Wars Yoda/Chewee heads and a Yoda bobblehead..ohh, and soon I shall have Star Wars Minions!!!
aaajin Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Just wanted to share, flyingmule has an extra 20% for On Sale items, which brings the Calibre Wings F-14B Jolly rogers to $86 before shipping. http://www.flyingmule.com/products/CL-CA721401 Was searching for reviews and saw Calibre Wings video on youtube featuring Noel, which reminds me of an old MW member aka BlackAces, who used to build beautiful plastic models here. Searched the forum and found this thread! :
jenius Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 So it looks like this has been released? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u183940775
Vifam7 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 My order for the "Fokker S type" and "Hikaru J type" Tomcats arrived today from BBTS.
Chronocidal Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I put a pre-order in for the J-type from Flying Mule a while back, and have not heard anything back about that yet, but I'm not in any particular rush. One of my main motivators for that version was getting a full set of phoenix rails to use, but I was pleasantly surprised when the VF-142 release included the full set.
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I also received my order today from BBTS both the J and S variants.. If the numbering can be believed I got 001/2000 of the J variant.. lol

Flying mule doesn't carry anymore Calibre wings, I had to cancel my paid preorder and then get them from bbts
slide Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I'm desperately resisting these... I love me some Tomcat, but I have such a build pile I'll never get around to doing a group of 'em in Macross Livery... ....................................................... decisions......................

Meh, I don't need that one anyway honestly. I'll see if BBTS still offers them though.

Chronocidal Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Yeah, went to grab one after all. I don't feel the need for another Jolly Roger F-14, but the J should look nice.
technoblue Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 The J-type is very tempting, but so are the real-world F-14 liveries and future projects like the Su-24. I could see myself getting lost in this line.

seti88 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Upcoming 1/72 scale diecast non transformable vf-1 valks in design phase. dropped in calibre wings fb page.. Edited June 13, 2018 by seti88
jvmacross Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 The Shin to me makes sense. However, after the 1/72 VF-1's were released, I see no reason to buy any more Macross-themed F-14's. Looks nice, though IMO it would look better without the "chest" stripes.
jenius Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I still haven't grabbed M&M, wonder if this was supposed to be there SDCC exclusive.
jvmacross Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I saw one go for way less than MSRP on eBay recently.....the low price bar has been set! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-VF-1J-Fighter-Valkyrie-Max-amp-Miriya-Vehicle-Giftset-1-of-800-Limited-/383495645453?nma=true&si=bCv4YWR%2FjK1lnHCmu1iyhRiGBOc%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
