shion Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 3 hours ago, dylan said: well... AMK posted this on their facebook page. there were more than a few unfriendly comments. They reap what they sow. Look at this. They have an another opportunity to present photos of the finished and corrected kit. It's the unique announcement that could matter, with the history of this kit developpement and his marketing. And what are they doing? This. An absolute non-annoucement, worst an announcement so similar to their previous ones that it's the first thing people remark. I really hope for them: - GWH don't present their F-14 next month at the Shizuoka Show. - they(AMK) present a finished and corrected F-14 tomcat kit. - if not, they don't make an appearance at all.

Timvkampen Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The F-14B will be announced by Tamiya at the Shizuoka Show 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It really would be great to see Tamiya follow through like that for the hat trick. I’m working to make that happen by building a Tamiya D as a B, so you’re welcome in advance, y’all!

Hoosfoos Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Could someone give me an unbiased update on the status of this kit? I've kind of lost the plot in this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmanrick Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 TLDR: AMK is reportedly showing sprues of the F-14D at the Moson show next weekend. No further information has been made available as of yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unbiased update: It has not been released. To say anything else regarding status would be pure speculation. This thread has had so many plot twists it should be renamed Sybil......

I've kind of lost the plot in this thread. I can only repeat what has been written few days ago: Next weekend at the Moson Show 2019 on 27thand 28th of April Tomcat sprues will be on display. News is from the Czech forum. Anyone interested can come and have a look. Best regards Gabor Edited April 20, 2019 by ya-gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sleepy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I’ve been told by someone who has been to AMK’s facility and seen it with his own eyes, and whom I have no reason to disbelieve: check out the aft fuselage before you decide whether to buy an AMK kit or not. That’s the reason for the massive delay according to him. I suspect Tamiya’s sales won’t be affected by AMK’s once it’s released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Apart from the AMK F-14 test sprues on display at Moson this coming (27th & 28th April) weekend, the Annetra stand on the first floor of the school building will also have the US Weapons set No.1 A bit of off-topic. Annetra stand will also have the ZO-91 ultrasonic cutter for use on resin and plastic parts. Best regards Gabor Edited April 24, 2019 by ya-gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya-gabor Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) For the ones who like decals without decal film, HGW is releasing a set to go with the AMK Weapons set. It will be available at Moson. HGW stand will be in the School building at Moson on the first floor. Best regards Gabor Edited April 25, 2019 by ya-gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atlis Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 At least sign my photos... Here's more, under P-51D from Eduard. They are just snapshots from Moson today. https://imgur.com/a/i5DsgqG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
