Do The Aires Wheel Bays for the Trumpeter 1/32 F-14 fit the Tamiya kit?

[Tomjw]

Hi All,

 

Just wondering if the Aires wheel bays for the Trumpeter 1/32 F-14 fit the Tamiya kit. Has anyone tried with or without success?

 

Cheers,

 

Tom

In one word: no. Nothing is impossible but this cannot be done without major work.

The main bays might be able to be used. but I have to check

The nose gear bay not even close its way too small and different in size and form compared to the tamiya part..

 

for whats its worth they actually fit the trumpeter kit exceptionally well.

Being its an aires set after all the fit was surprizingly pleasing and downright impressive.
