Martin @ AMK Models Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Items: Compressed nose gear for the “cat shot”. 4x wings. Two fully closed and slick for the swept look, two fully open with spoilers slats all dropped (if you wish). One piece weapons - full loads will be included. The canvass bladders are in plastic not resin. One set for swept and one set for wings forward. Fully detailed wheel wells. Engine nozzles open AND “closed”. Engines included. Sorry for the little absence recently. Some personal issues going on and this project is taking most of our time. MiG-25 and L-39 next up :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin @ AMK Models Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Oh, the “hold-back” bar is also included. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Martin... Will the wings have an "over-sweep position" option for when the plane is parked? I don't think any current 1/48 F-14 kit has an "over-sweep" wing position.... Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Martin, great to hear from you! Thanks for the new information, which will only serve to whet the appetites for this kit. I can tell you that I will be pre ordering two, once it goes hot! Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott CNJC-IPMS The hasegawa kit has an oversweep slot for the wings.... and the revell kit can do a bit of a forced, false oversweep. its not quite 68 degrees, but it's better than nothing.

Martin @ AMK Models Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi, Thanks for the kind words all. I think the wings do have an oversweep but I will ask Sio and get back to you. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dylan Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Martin. since it will be released first, can you share any info on the Mig-25? I also want a 2 seater. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only ask as we have seen a ton of cads for the Tomcat, but nothing on the Foxbat, that I can recall. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 F-14 is first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabat Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Martin, this sounds superb! Keep up the good work, this is going to be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Martin, any chance you'll have test shots of the F-14 at Telford? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Eagerly awaiting this kit also.....You guy's made my day when you said it would Include the clean wings...one thing I hate are the ill fitting slats and flaps of the Hobby Boss kit...It's Not that I know AMK would do a far superior job on them. But it just makes the swept back option that much easier!!!!!! I am all for easy construction. So Martin since it's almost the end of 2016 will this be released 1st quarter 2017 ???

B.Sin Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) AMK said that they were shooting for a December release. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're going to make that deadline. That's okay with me, I'm very patient, and not planning on going anywhere, or at least I hope. LOL Edited November 3, 2016 by B.Sin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slightly off topic but since you are updating infos related to future releases, how is the progress with the weapons sets, if I may ask? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
