Thanks. The reason I developped the F-14B set is that while there are existing solutions (DXM) to start from the D, the A late kit is much closer to a B so it's much more efficient and thus cheaper

The F-111 kept me busy lately, either creating new sets or adapting the long available HB parts for the Academy kit The exhausts are available open or closed or mixed (for an "engines off" representation. The Triple Plow II seamless intakes are available with closed or open blow-in vanes. Enjoy! Arnaud https://bam-models.com/product-category/f-111/

MRP does Celomer 1620 (MRP-357) and 1625 (MRP-356) for the Mirage 2000C and 2000-5 Arnaud

Looking great! Did you make the design yourself?

Very nice details, thanks for sharing. Did you read this full build? Quite a good reference, the final result can be seen here. Using the BAM Models ECM cooling units really helps giving the Raven its distinctive shape, Hobby Boss was quite lazy in this area and juste re-used the same molds as for their other Aardvarks 😕 Arnaud

I'm afraid not, and the situation does not appear to be improving 😕 Arnaud

I'm in if I may! Most likely with a test Tomcat, still pondering if it will be an early A prototype using BAM's early beaver tail and wing gloves or a D from VX-9 Arnaud

It's been a while since I last posted on new releases, the new day job is keeping me busy alright! Two Tomcat subjects are now available: F-14B conversion set for Tamiya F-14A Late The F-14A Late contains almost everything you need except the SparrowHawk HUD and GE F110-400 exhausts, which is exactly what this set contains - not more, not less, which also makes it the cheapest way to make the Tomcat version that carried some of the coolest schemes out there! F-14 Wing and ventral fin PDU cameras Often used for weapon testing, fits the Tamiya Tomcat kits

Absolutely fantastic, how could I miss this one! I'm very, very glad to see my ECM cooling parts put to such great effect, they totally change the look of the aircraft (I still don't know how both HB and Academy missed this aspect of the Raven). Did you take in-progress pics by any chance? Arnaud

Very, very nice Dave, and completed about 100 times faster than I ever will 😆 Arnaud

Excellent work so far, this is a very interesting tank concept and I look forward to seeing the next steps! Arnaud

Thanks! The rotor head is made up of four parts and cannot be folded:

Most of us have Hasegawa Phantoms in the stash. While they are still great kits, the lack of proper intakes is a serious letdown in comparison with the recent Meng and ZM kits. I thus thought it would be useful to design an affordable fix BAM48102 allows you to add full depth intakes to ANY Hasegawa Phantom II kit: F-4B, F-4C, F-4D, F-4E, F-4G, F-4J, F-4EJ, F-4N, F-4S, RF-4C, RF-4E, RF-4EJ, FG Mk.1, FGR.2, etc..., anything that uses sprue D, including the Revell reboxes of course A tiny amount of blending with parts D31 and D42 is required but nothing major, the front edge of the parts is 0,2mm thick Arnaud Two J79 engine face versions available: Early and late

The Airfix Sea King detail sets are now officially released! and available here!

Thanks for the guidance, I'll definitely look into it!
