How sad that such a formidable aircraft is being "replaced" by a slower, less manoeuvrable aircraft with less payload capacity and shorter range... The things the US NAVY will do to save some maintenance bucks! Had they opted to replace the F-14's front windscreen, build it with a greater amount of composite materials, replace the engines and avionics with those derived with the F-22(and an MATV nozzle), it could have flown competitively for another decade...I'm really going to miss that ol' turkey.

Hi Haro. They seem to be using the F-14A, as Hasegawa has already released the kit in 1/72. No idea why though; the A model is practically out of service.

Hi Ewilen. To answer your question as succinctly as possible; the Zentradi Arii kits are junk. Very low on parts count and simple to construct, they nevertheless look terrible once finished. Considering the organic design of the ships, you'd be much better off building your own from scratch.

Hi Exo, nice to see a friendly face... Still trying to get used to the new forums here Actually, I think Shawn or Graham could pin a topic on this subject if they felt it was necessary, but honestly, I don't think it's important enough. Even on my end, I pretty much no longer get any e-mails about the Legioss; it's old news.

How come this topic keeps popping-up over & over?
