Ray B. Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Building the new tool Academy 1/72 kit right now, and I'm pretty sure I want another crack at it. Especially with VF-31 Tomcatters on the way. Count me in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Looks like this is going to be a popular one. I wonder if we can get an STGB to match the popularity of the heritage GBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'm up for this too, I'll flip a coin nearer the gb between a ,tamiya high viz A ,or the amk D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm actually switching over to the Tamiya F-14A, after looking at that and the AMK F-14D. I just need a couple of extra AM bits (haha that's what I always say! ) to convert her to an early model F-14A. The scary thing though is that I have started looking at the Trumpie 1/32nd F-14D!!! Then I looked at the price!!!! The only thing is it comes with a VF-31 scheme! I must walk away from that screen!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
