Hi! I'm planning to get the Eduard PE set for this craft. Does it have all the neccessary things to accurize the unit? How about the cockpit? Is it accurate OOB already? What other AM parts should I need to accurize the model?

Actually I had the F-14D. I was planning to get the A version as well and superdetail it. I have the Verlinden Super Detail Set for the A version.

Hi Shonen,

I think it's best that you practice some more on OOB build before plunging yourself into the F14 A from hasegawa with AM stuff. I had some experiences with plane building, but I had a lot of difficulties to finish that plane, it's the best F14 out there, but the fit is horrible, and adding AM is complicating the whole build.

Maybe save it for a little build, so you can enjoy it more. my 2 cents.

Thanks SS-74! My F-14D will be done OOB in preparation for the modified F-14A.
