As for the Top Gun movie, I thought the pics shown on line are of Super Hornets in a new scheme? Tomcats in some sort of flashback maybe? CGI then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan_Lotton Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm sure Maverick teams up with Goose's son, they go on a mission, get shot down, there's some mission impossible level escape and evasion stuff, they steal a Tomcat and then fly it to a carrier in a daring feat of naval aviation that only Maverick can pull off. The plane will be either damaged or poorly maintained, so it won't be able to trap properly, and will have to take the barricade because a main gear won't come down or something. Goose's kid and Maverick make amends and finally respect each other, and Maverick's guilty conscience from 1986 will be soothed knowing he saved Goose's son. Just...my guess.

We come to find out that the "high speed pass" was actually on Carole Bradshaw, and that Goose' "son" is actually Maverick's. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Completely unrelated in any way other than that both companies are in China. There is some reasoning behind the idea they were sharing molds. When GHW originally released CAD pictures of their Tomcat, it looked an awful lot like the same design as AMK. The canopy, the spoilers on the wings, and a couple of other areas lead some to think maybe AMK and GHW had collaborated, with AMK releasing the D and GHW releasing the A.

Sleepy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 GWH says there is no connection, they are bitter rivals, and they have no reason to lie about it. GWH got a huge laugh out of this when it first surfaced a few weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doing the same thing hoping to attract more buyers. And GWH's F-14 will blow AMK's out of the water if for no other reason than their surface detail is probably half as deep and wide as AMK's.

I don't see anything wrong with the panel lines on AMK'S F-14. But that's just my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have four different AMK kits, and six different GWH kits. EVERY SINGLE ONE of AMK’s has panel lines wider and deeper (considerably so) than ANY of the GWH kits I own. But maybe I got oddball kits and all of the AMK kits everybody else has have really fine, petite panel lines. That must be it. You people amaze the crap out of me.
