They said summer, then "unavoidable delays"...now..complete silence. Either AMK is gone belly up and is effectively no more or they're having to fix errors (again). Either way, by and large, AMK's done as a model company. Really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they release an accurate kit, I'm sure it'll sell and they won't be done. Mind you, it's just my personal opinion. I still remember VW's "Diesel gate". In the first months of that scandal they were crucified, car sales plunged. Now, the Diesel gate is still far from being resolved, but I read VW now selling even more cars than before. People have a short memory, but I'm not saying this in a bad sense : time passes, people forget, and one day people think "yeah, why not give this new mouth-watering product a try, after all". In any case, if AMK succeed in releasing an accurate Tomcat kit, you bet they'll be tight-lipped on the next project. Well, it's all I wish them. And they folded, too bad for them, they'd be 100% responsible, but we'd still have Tamiya, Hasegawa, Kinetic, GWH, Zvezda, ICM, Roden and, when their A-Team is hired, Revell, Kitty Hawk, Hobby Boss and Trumpeter to deliver us exciting new kits.

Actually, there is starting to be some grumbling from the faithful on Facebook. There was a very long thread with a lot of questioning about what's going on. I think that, unless they release the kit soon, they are going to have to start explaining what's going on to the their faithful fan boys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is also the possibility that they paused the Tomcat to do tooling for another company. This was apparently the case with the HazMAT Bronco. Gotta pay them bills...

Slartibartfast Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Liposuction is a class of plastic surgery. Just as Kim Kardashian would use plastic surgery to reduce her rear-end to more normal proportions, the modeler would have to do the same with the AMK Tomcat. Altering human germ cells to manipulate physical characteristics of babies is pretty much taboo so anyone experimenting so is not saying a word. AMK is altering the Tomcat "germ cell" (mold/mould) to change the resulting baby and is being very hush-hush about it, too. Of course, there are people who think Kim Kardashian's proportions are just fine as they are, and so there will be people who like the AMK Tomcat just fine with a big butt. Hope this new year treats y'all well. Edited January 1, 2019 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
