Academy has just released another F14-A: "Sundowners". This now makes 3 F14-As in their current kit line up. This kit is by far the most expensive of the three, leading me to believe that it's a step or two up from the previous kits, that aren't quite up to the high standards of the Hasegawa F14s.

I haven't been able to find out any information about the kit other then what's been published on their web site, which isn't much. I've done a few Google searches, and came up empty handed.

Does anyone have any additional info on this kit?

Thanks, as I saw that earlier this morning. Unfortunately, it's just the new kit post from Academy's web site.

It seems that the kit is the same offering as their previous F14-As. The difference in cost is the inclusion of Cartograph decals. Not that it's not a good kit, but it's not what I'm looking for in terms of kit detail.
