We don't know about any in-box reviews for this F-14A Tomcat `Bicentennial´ (#09388) from Hasegawa.
Ron GarciaSame kit as pretty much all the Hasegawa F-14s. Nice decals. I had a problem with some of the edges not wanting to stick. Age? I ended up using white glue, pressure, and Micro Sol to get them to stay in place. The canopy needs to be painted a very dark blue but the kit supplies decals for the front, rear, and along the canopy (a nice touch).
One other note, I would add part F21 and F22 after applying decal 9 (the wraparound nose stars and stripes). The instructions show the parts much farther up than they should be. I didn't and the very front interfered with the decal. A slight trim and a bit of paint touch up took care of it.
If you want a bicentennial F-14, this is a nice kit.
