I think there's a re-test running in the UK right now. So hopefully you should get it soon.

greyhawk wrote:Issue 9 - Installing the first "engine"  Fake engine of course. We receive a motor, bracket for the motor and a turbine fan. All parts are simply plugged into each other and then stuck onto the central frame. Looking pretty fly.  it has moving fan blades? Cool.Shame us poor Americans wont get it!!

That's a neat touch GH, I didn't realise that this model featured working turbine fans - now that is seriously über cool!!

The engines even light up on the other end. It's really the toy plane from heaven.

 Issue 10. We receive a topside covering element and a navigation light. Lots of things wrong in the instructions in this one. One needs to switch a few steps around or one is guaranteed to produce a massive gap when installing these parts. I've done a complete writeup of how installation should actually be done instead and will post a translation for you once this kit gets going in the UK.

Sounds like you should rev up your engine and listen to her howling roar. The metal under tension is begging you to touch and go.

Issue 11 is a simple repeat of issue 8, only the landing gear doors are installed on the other side this time around.

Hi, This looks like a dream build for me as I love the F14 but I think I will have to complete my others before I crack of with something else. It's looking good though. I will keep following. Cheers

With issue 12 we receive the air refueling probe and a second set of fan blades.   We're now 10% done with the complete model.
