I love Reedoak stuff and these are superb. I just wish they had been engineered to fit the Tamiya F-14 rather than the Has kit which has now been pretty much been passed over in favour of the Tamiya kit. Having built 3 Has F-14 kits over the years, the Tamiya one beats it in every respect.

I hope Reedoak will consider doing these (with some tweaks) or a similar pairing to fit the Tamiya F-14....?

It was done knowing the tamiya kit cockpit and fuselage width sizes, to fit both kits
