Thumbs up Re: new vf84 jolly rogers tomcats in japan

We recieved these in yesterday. I have to say that this model is fantastic. I think the thing that stands out the moist has to be the build quality, It's outstanding. Plus the ordinance, specifically the AIM-54 Pheonix, is well detailed and has no visible seems.

I will be posting a photo profile on this model as well as the new Dragon Me262 NightFighter and the Carousel One Fw190D later today.

Re: new vf84 jolly rogers tomcats in japan

As promised, I've attached a few pics of the AJ202 airplane.

1. Starboard profile view. Sorry about the lighting. In the background, the FOV VF-154 F-14A, which in some sense is a "prototype" of the current CenturyWings models. Note the area behind the canopy -- no hinges!

2. Forward view, showing the "kneeling" position to advantage.

3. Quarter-view macro. VF-84 in this period had brand-new airplanes in gloss paint, so the absence of weathering is accurate. Despite this, the skin finish does not look at all toy-like.

4. Closeup of starboard wing, showing "no step" placarding and red-painted slat edges.

5. Quarter-view rear, showing dropped flaps, TF30 exhaust section, beavertail, and hook.

Re: new vf84 jolly rogers tomcats in japan

Finally: CenturyWings VF-84 F-14A side-by-side with FOV VF-154 F-14A. They clearly share a pedigree, but the former shows some subtle but significant refinements, including thinner ejection loops and intake lips, streamlined probes, canopy design, nosegear, etc. (I also think that the tailfins on the VF-84 are positioned more properly outward, though one can debate whether they are tilted enough.)

Get em quick, stocks ARE running out!

I received a message from Yoshi at Top Gun today. The VF84 AJ200/202 are immensely popular and (almost?) all warehouse stock have been reserved by eager distributors!

Dear Min.

Thanks for your shopping.
You are lucky man, because our VF-84 AJ200/202 are almost sold out in my shop.
VF-84 AJ200/202 that are stocked in our warehouse has been already reserved by some distributors.
So, I can't sell them in my shop.
-------------------------------------------------------

So! If you want one (or five), pre-order yours right away, doesn't look like there would be much stock left at the warehouse!
