Freewing 80mm F-14 Pylon and Weapons Set Reviews

4.2 Rating 45 Reviews
This kit should come with the plane. It’s ok! I would expect more scale detail and more standout scale paint job on the missiles and better scale finish on the shoulder hardpoint rail. It’s bulky and no definition. I cut and did some sanding to give it a bit more scale look. The fins were bent out of shape as they were just rolled in soft foam for shipping. I had to refute one of the fins. I expected better for the price. If these came with the $600 model then there would be no complaints. Pretty pricey add on that should not be an upgrade. I would not put these in super scale category, barely scale category. Center rails should be longer to hold 4 Phoenix middle as well as 2 additional phoenix missiles. In the photo you can see the cutout I did for the outer rails. The fuselage rails had a pretty good gap at the front. I had to form these a bit before install and I still have a little gap. I don’t think they will catch air and snap but I might use double sided tape for extra security. Nice dense foam though so the rails are very strong!

I expected a much better finish of the parts for that price - but I have 3 stars because the F14 looks much better with missiles

Looks great on the plane.Too bad that the weapon holders are not painted. The collor difference between de underside of the plane and the holders is a little bit too much. Furthermore I Love the F14.

Paint and decals are good. Missile fins are crooked and need work to straighten out of shipping bag. Kinda pricey for what you get...

Junk. Fins are curled up since they are so thin and they are placed crooked. The AMRAAM's only have three fins. The sidewinders are bent as the foam is just too floppy. I will scratch build them out of cardstock. The Immortal Bird missiles get a pass, just barely though. Don't waste your money.
