Rex Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) yeah, Helmsman, but just like in my old days in Wisconsin,,,,,those 9 months still had 3 seasons included in them. "really cold autumn, bitter cold winter, really cold spring",,,,then the usual 6/20,21, or 22 for the start of "calendar" summer, which ends on 9/19-20 ish. only change is the flip of the seasons at the Equator, the four x/21 events are on the same day world wide. (that is what is sooo frustrating with that US Ground hog day thing,,,,it is physically 7 weeks more of Winter, which means Spring is already "right around the corner",,,,,so either way, it means nothing as to what day Spring starts,,,,,,even if it is a blizzard with two feet of snow, it would still be the "first day of spring." ) Edited September 6, 2018 by Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Texas has three winters per year. Each one lasts about a day and a half - two whole days for a really severe winter. 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Rex said: 9/21 ish, then 12/21 ish, etc The seasons don't change at the month, or at the temperature change. (it will still be autumn up until a few days before Christmas, for example) The change in seasons is tied to the date of the equinox and solstice events. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joscasle Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Nice, we are talking about weather instead of the AMK 1/48 Tomcat!!! Why is that???😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Because the weather is more predictable ??? 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your statement is pretty accurate for the Gulf Coast, though I've had winter last five days occassionally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's meaningless. They don't have any secret information about when the kit is being released. They probably know less than you do about the kit's progress and release. They're just changing the date so that the pre-order is for some future release date, because it would look ridiculous if their pre-order page still said the kit was due 30 May, 2017. 51 minutes ago, Manuel J.

As MoFo said, they just keep moving the date out as the old one approaches. I saw them do this on the GWH Su-35 and KH F-101B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabat Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hopefully the price doesn't increase, that's pretty reasonable to start with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond Chung Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 So everyone now understand why we drop the brand basically it just repeat our experience with Kinetic F-16 10 years ago where we were the only shop who did the preorder while they were the toolshop. And we will never want to experience this again from the same group of people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petarvu Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) From business point of view ,AMK made marketing fiasko,and it still lasts after how many years. And people actually paid preorder price,on behalf of AMK promise. if this happened with some other merchandise than long saught new f-14 kit, and not in plastic models world-AMK would be long gone from the market. And I like the AMK guys and will buy the kit, but business wise-come on🤣 Edited September 9, 2018 by Petarvu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I agree completely Petarvu. I I said the same thing on a facebook group and was called a spoiled baby ( and worse) for not being able to wait. its not about the wait its about being misled by AMK. it reminds me of a south park episode where the kids visit George RR martin, and he keeps promising them pizza but it never shows up. at this point I dont think I will even get one, I am happy with the 2 Tamiya kits that I am currently building.

Same here, just on a different pre-order. Pre ordered ace combat 7 in Jan 2017. They just gave a releas date of Jan 18, 2019!!! I’m never preordering a damned thing ever again. This is my 3rd one to go off the schedule, by months, I’ve had. I’m looking forward to the 2 I already ordered but, got my gf to buy the Tamiya Tom for my birthday anyway. At least that’s a wait I know the date it will end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Is there going to be an issue of decals sized for other kits on this Tomcat? Not really in the mood to wait and buy more sheets just to get them to fit on here. I don't even know if my Furball decals will fit the Tamiya cats I have lined up.
