Re: Broken Swingwing

Thx Skysurfer 808. Too bad you didn't open the box(first person experience). Some ppl in the forum admit that they're fond of their dragon Tomcats.

Too bad the localshops don't sell witty or Century Wings. I prefer not to buy Forces of valor. I've been dissapointed by their tank models and looking at their !:32 aircraft model....gosh it's just so 'dirty' and crude.

Trying haaard to resist. Anyone else? pls

I have a Dragon (VF-103 F-14B). It's not a bad model, but not up to the standards of Dragon's F-16s. I also had severe fit issues with the landing gear and ultimately had to use a great deal of white glue to get it to stand up. The finish is not especially convincing, and clearly looks like a model next to the new Forces of Valor and CenturyWings F-14s.

The old Forces of Valor F-14A (VF-84, 1991) was terrible and is to be avoided. The new Forces of Valor F-14A (VF-154 and VF-41) is a prototype of the CenturyWings mold and is very good. (See the pic below -- it may be dirty (intentionally so), but it's not crude!)
