Zactoman Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hey guys, long time no see!Thanks for all the nice comments and sorry I didn't reply until now.Life got in the way and these got delayed but are back on the bench.Both intakes are finished externally and I'm currently working on the bypass area.I will still need to make new pylons once the interior is finished.No ETA but I hope to finish them soon to get some income flowing again.These are modeled on the F-14D but with a few minor panel line changes will work with other versions.Here are a few updated pics: Today I received the Aires wheel wells and fitted them. I made a few modifications to my pattern so that they can be used together without any surgery.More pics and info in the Zactoforum at ARC: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showforum=176 Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Cool ! A very nice improvement, not to say indispensable ! The only thing that make me not to buy the Trumpy F-14 was her awful intakes. But now this issue is over ! (but so is the money.... for now !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep an eye on your site for the release. Any idea on prices yet? Best regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I dont even have the Trumpy kit yet, and Ill be in for a set. I do plan on eventually building a Tomcat...........I have to extend my line of Grumman cats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Wonderful! But, bu**er, now I've got to get the Aires wheel well set as well! Absolutely stunning work Zactoman, and I know it'll work like a charm as I'm using your full SLUF correction set, which is amazing, on an A-7D. Really looking forward to getting a set of these inlet/ramp masterpieces for the F-14D, when they are available. Tony T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Matt Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wow man. What a huge amount of change to the kit pieces. The bypass doors are going to look wicked but the surface detail is stunning. Thoughts on how these might potentially adapt/help the Tamiya kits? Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is the Aires wheel set a must for the right fit of the intake or can you still use the kit parts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A340 Pilot Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm in for 1 set! Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
