So when HM decide to make a new tooling, why of a DieCast already existing in so many ways.....why no YF-23, F-117, Bronco....or a B-2 ......i hope i make my point of view more clear
well for a start:
CW- too expensive for those who haven't already got one, QC issues in recent releases, & the better ones are hard to get.
WW- not the best F-14 mould.
FOV- practically impossible to get the good ones now.
Dragon- crap ordinance (no phoenixes for example, even on ones that had them), & no fixture points to add any yourself.
GA- the WW mould, & limited schemes.
therefore, another good F-14 that's more affordable than CW would be welcome for many F-14 fans.
