Wouldn't just any Fujimi F-14A combined with the above decals work? The Fujimi F-14 is very fine. On par with the Hasegawa one but in my opinion a lot more buildable because of a less fiddly set-up.

yes. all of these are very difficult to get/insufficient quality/wrong time period. Whats in the Fujimi box is just perfect for me so I wanted to kinda test the waters to see if it would be obtainable.
