TAMIYA’S NEW 1:48 F-14A TOMCAT
When a plain white box arrived at the AIR Modeller office we were
delighted to discover that it contained a pre-production sample of the
latest addition to Tamiya’s range of 1:48 aircraft kits, the F-14a Tomcat.
As an advanced sample it came with a photocopied instruction sheet
with a few captions waiting to be added and a marking guide that will
probably be printed in colour, but was black and white. The two decal
sheets, one for the markings and one for the numerous stencils were
supplied but had yet have a key-cut carrier film so each was one huge
decal! The canopy masks that will be included were also just a
photocopy at the moment. What was immediately evident was the high
quality moulding of the plastic parts just as you would expect from
Tamiya’s designers. The fuselage has been broken down into several
sections with the nose, along with the cockpit, as a stand-alone
assembly. The lower fuselage without the intakes is another individual
part whereas the upper section is moulded in two parts split roughly
along the line of the wing trailing edge. Clever splits are the essence of
this kit but lets see how well they assemble!
