BVM or Tomahawk, please make an F-14? I promise I will buy one
If it was possible to get vendors interested in even discussing the possibility of doing the machined components for my F-14, I would of had it nearly ready last year. Since the US manufacturing industry is largely only interested in units of 1000+ parts, its near impossible to get a new model brought to market unless you have a large bank account or the capabilities on site.
Luckily, i've finally found a company (i hope) that is willing to do the landing gear for my model, if that happens, my F-14 prototype "kit" should be ready for its first flight by the end of 2014.
