Thanks for the words, Bob, in particular about the FB groups. Sad if in fact ARC, BM, HS, LSP, Z-5, etc are "drying up" since I really enjoy the folks on those forums. The format of forums seem to be much more organized and easier to follow than the FB links I've visited ... but then, my FB experience is extremely limited. At any rate, I spend way too much time as it is on the computer, so a FB account is not in my future. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the modeling world is HUGE on FB. And as the Roof-man said above there are also hundreds, probably thousands, of aircraft and aviation related groups of all kinds, like Cold War Aircraft, SAC Aircraft, WWII aircraft, Boneyard aircraft, not to mention individual aircraft-related groups, like groups for B-58s, F-106s, Italian aircraft, etc. Basically, any group for any aircraft that anyone wants to cobble together. With vast numbers of photos that folks have posted. I've posted several hundred in the Boneyard group of my MASDC photos from the eighties. And as I said, posting a photo, or ten photos, is super easy and can be done directly from your pc or phone, unlike the forum goat-rope of having to have a hosting service such as Flickr or Photobucket. Anyway, we'll keep the light on over there if you change your mind... Bob Sierra Scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAGeezer Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Firstly, I'm eagerly awaiting the Tomcat, I've got plenty to hack up in the meantime! Secondly, it's nice to see Martin posting here again. Thank You! Third, FB is pretty nice, but I also like to archive builds and threads, etc for reference. I don't believe FB gives you that kind of option. Perhaps I'm wrong? Lastly, Photobucket should burn.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, I didn’t think that I would be missed to be honest. so I just concentrated on doing what I do - building the distribution network and sales, Facebook and making kits with the team.

Gene K Don't get me started on how Zuckerburg's little devil spawn is bringing about the end to civilization as we know it.... That said, I find a significant number of outfits have bailed from forums altogether or, like AMK, don't spend as much time marketing on them as they do FB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So... Roughly 6 weeks left in the year. I think it's safe to say we're not going to see it in 2017..but it would be nice to have an official "It's not coming out in 2017". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAGeezer Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 It WOULD be nice to get any kind of update from AMK, just as a courtesy. Get this Tomcat out, then get started on my F-111 family! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The new "retooled" kfir, announced to be released last month, didn't show up either. And of course, no picture of the supposed retooled parts. Funny thing: - Modelcollect announced a B-2 in september 2016. - they release it now. - AMK announced a F-14 in June 2015. - no plastic part picture yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Lol. This AMK Tomcat is becoming like the Joint Strike Fighter programme of the modelling world. Hopefully it doesn’t cost modellers a bomb to acquire when they finally hit the streets. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarkKnight Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 problem is this, if it doesn't come out soon then we have to wait till after chinese new year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petrov27 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 doubt we will see this before 2nd quarter 2018 myself. If it shows earlier, fantastic, but at this point it seems still a ways out though I don't think there has been much word (has anyone who does facebook checked their site/page lately?)
