flybywire Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) End of august? Which year? I'll wait for a decent review from any of the rivet-counters or experts here before dipping my finger into it; otherwise I'll stick with my tamigawa.

habu2 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Nice boxes. They look like the most realistic boxes evarr... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) GBU-38's look nice, well the picture on the box anyway. Edited August 13, 2019 by Alternative 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Good thing that AMK seem to include an optional canopy molded as a single clear part instead of only that strange multi-part affair. And now I really start to wonder if the wings with extended slats/flaps will fit the Tamiya kit... guess there's only one way to find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grindcore Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm really interested in the weapons set, they look nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
torchf4 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 So close! Just 5 more pages to 200! That rear curve! Wonder if they will sell the weapons separately? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I have just sent email to HobbyEasy about date of delivery and transport fee. Total cost of preorder kit plus shipping look almost the same like cost of Tamiya F-14D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'll take two copies of Sprues A and B, please. And an ordnance set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly my thoughts here, Andrew. Too bad that you needed to order the clean wing sprue B in order to get the rest of the spoilers to go with the dirty wing sprue A, but a lot better than to have to buy the whole kit, I guess. Keep ordnance set. Edited August 13, 2019 by Hubbie Marsten typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From where should one order separate sprues, directly from AMK or from somewhere else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) I see very big potential aftermarket for not used pairs of wings of AMK. If you make Tomcat with wings closed, you can sell second pair. 🙂 It could be nice if those wings should fit to Tamiya's insert part.

dylan Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 did I miss a good fight? it seems there have been some posts purged. I sense a conspiracy to keep us from reaching the magical 200th page Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this would be a valid option, Anders; we were just goofing round with Andrew. It'd be a great option, tho. 8 minutes ago, dylan said: did I miss a good fight? it seems there have been some posts purged. No fights ever since Mr @terrysumner has been appointed the keeper of the sanity on this thread. I mean, Steve asks Terry to check only this thread on the whole site twice an hour, 24/7.

I´m not sure, but if you see the decals from the kit it looks like it include the weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
