I recently got a Revell 1:48 F-14A kit, *Shudder* and I was wondering if anyone here would know where I could get glove pylons for it that do not have molded on AIM-7s because I would like to give it the doomsday loadout, so I need to be able to put Phoenixs on them. I heard from a friend that the Hasegawa kit's glove pylons will fit without much modification, but I don't have one.

Hi Joshua!
Why not just cut the Winders and rails from the pylons?
You´ll need to do new Poenix pylons anyhow.
If you want, I´m sure you can buy the correct sprues as spare parts from Hasegawa, though.
This Is how it should look like;
Remember that the F-14 COULD fly with six AIM-54 and two Winders, but It could NOT land on the carrier again, as It was far too heavy for a successful trap!
Thus I loaded mine with four Poenixes and two Sidewinders.
Cheers!

sorry for the double post
One more question,
I went to the Hasegawa website but couldn't find any sort of link for missing parts, where do I get them.
