I concur; I wish I could ask the fellas at Britmodeller to have a good look on that issue on the AMK F-14D rear flanks at Telford tomorrow, so that they'd elaborate on it. They don't seem to be nearly as neurotic about it on their thread regarding the AMK F-14D kit as we are on here, you know. It just makes me wonder... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In general, they don't seem as obsessed with detail and accuracy as we are here. Of course, I think most of the modelers (aircraft) there do 1/72. A little harder to be obsessed with detail in that scale, though it can be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's going to be a really looooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnggg wait if not. Cheers, Onigiri I used to frequent that board gleaning information on something RAF. Most all a great people, but there seemed to be a group that did their best to create havoc. Just went another direction. Yet BM seems to be one of the best sources for modern RAF to me! Laughingly, I call it the Airfix board!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F-16 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It IS the same test shot! I thought it looked familiar... (Note missing wing tips in BOTH pics) The flap is just broken off. I also wonder what the status is of the weapons set? Are they going to release that before the Tomcat? They should be done by now..?

GW8345 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If that is the production kit, then the aft end has some issues. Also, is it me or does the back end of the TARPS Pod look off, too long and pointy IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any purple line. I see a red or maybe even very dark pink lines. I like red lines. I think some of them are waving to me. Where's the purple lines? Purple is the color of royalty. Those of you using purple lines obviously support my ascension to the throne because I am without a doubt the Emperor of the Universe. Hold on, someone telling me to take my meds. They're trying to put this strange jacket on snna ihenb nj Sorry about that folks. Mr. Mstor will be indisposed for a while until his medications kick. Carry on.

Also notice now the canopy is smooth with no frame details? I wonder if this is a resin mock-up? It looks too clean. Lot's of primer perhaps that covers up some panel lines?

RCAFFAN Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The purple line is on a F14A drawing so it is wrong regardless.......why do people keep posting F14A drawings and photos? Not actually commenting on the kit as I don't even build 1/48 but how do you prove a point by posting the wrong material..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
