Hi, have you started this project? I am about to buy this kit also and I am now looking for some brass - you seem to be fitting brass for Hasegawa to this - how is it going?
Hi, it's not started yet. There is no PE available for Hobby Boss F-14D hence I ordered the Hasegawa one some time ago. Today, You also have eduard PE for Tamiya and CMK F-14D available.
I was wondering how it really fits, I just watched an on-line videobuild on YouTube and the guy stated in the inbox review that it is really close looking to Hasegawa, I got the impression that the Chinese engineering got really "inspired" by the Hasegawa tooling, thus the set fitting rather well. I think I´ll try that.
