shion Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Although it was supposed to be released months ago, no news about the weapon set, and more intriguing, no review. In the end, one preview of the AMK 1/48 weapon set: https://modelweb.modelforum.cz/2019/05/31/vyzbrojni-sada-amk-148/ Few remarks of the reviewer about pretty noticeable and deep ejection marks.

Jonathan_Lotton Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 It is what it is...but it doesn't appear the shape issue aft was fixed. I'll still carry through with my two that I committed to buying years ago...but I can't help but feel a bit ...off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Photos look interesting. Someone built the kit and looks like they gave it a coat of paint or primer. Looks pretty much straight OOB without much sanding of parts. Lots of detail, some problems with mold lines on the fuselage from the slide molds. Some fit issues at the aft fuselage. Doesn't look like they did much in the way of correcting the shape of the aft. Canopy looks good with what I assume is the separate frame and clear part. Some minor flash on a few parts. Not Tamiya quality but all in all not a bad effort. Not the be all and end all, most accurate F-14 kit ever. Wonder if it is going to ship anytime soon?

Mstor Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 2 hours ago, Vaildog said: I don’t see a separate canopy frame and clear part in the sample model The pic of the canopy shows the frame part still attached to the sprue and the clear part attached to it. Since the frame is still attached to the sprue, which is grey plastic, it cannot be the one piece all clear plastic canopy, which they have a picture of too. The picture just before the separate frame version shows the frame alone resting on the front fuselage section.

Solo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I don't know… But I think I dont't like this Tomcat, it looks a little coarse for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean crude, unrefined, lacking in sophistication? A somewhat ambiguous comment. Could you site examples of what you find coarse? Not trying to be overly critical, just curious as to what you mean. I have a, I think, similar feeling about it. Some of the molding, while very detailed, looks kind of crude. Heavy mold lines remind me of much older kits or limited run kits. Many parts look like they need a lot of cleanup before I would use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Mstor said: Coarse? Not sure what that means. Do you mean crude, unrefined, lacking in sophistication? Yes, you are right, those are much better phrases. Tamiya's F-14 is just very spohisticated set, with beautiful, very fine and crisp details and panel lines. AMK's one on those pictures very differs from that, looks jut like poor cousin of Japan masterpiece. I only hope those are just only pictures and real model will be much more similar to Tamiya's one. If not, AMK will really dissapoint me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 There's something about the blast port that looks off, like it's too high up on the airframe, that it does not line up with the bulge on the gun panel. And agree with Solo, the overall model doesn't look "crisp", the cockpit/seats look crude. Just my $.02, ymmv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
