Like the Tamiya's F-14, good and free research doesn't seem to be worthy of a look, meanwhile I've seen other manufacturers copying errors from other kits, sigh...

Absolutely. I have yet to buy a ZM Phantom for that reason. I want to see some E's F's and G's. Then I'll thrown the money at them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Ah this thread brings back memories..... What can I say it was one of my favorite albums back in the day... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I'll still Buy it.. Thing is I'll get 2 instead of 4 or 5... The delays and the release of The Tamiya "D" will likely slow sales of their kit but the price if it stays around 65.00 MSRP and available options will be very attractive to many including me.

Yes! I'm hoping they release an EJ version very fast, maybe include parts for one with the E release. There are SO many great EJ paint schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 We're drifting, fellas. Let's keep this focused on AMK bashing. There are already Z-M bashing threads in which you can participate regarding their ever-so-slightly malformed F-4 Phantom series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armas S. said: We need a "Word" from AMK Best of luck on that, transparency isn't one of AMK's watchwords. Do they owe us an explanation? Certainly not. Would it go a LONG way towards fostering a better relationship with those they'd like to be their customers? Absolutely. In either case, since I cancelled my pre-order, I guess I don't have a dog in this fight any more. If an explanation had been given as to why they've continually missed deadlines, I might have held on to it. Edited January 3, 2019 by Skull Leader Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joscasle Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Well, I bought a Tamiya 1/48 F-14D and start waiting for the GWH F-14A, easier and mentally a best option (IMHO). Why no one make a B ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be willing to bet that Tamiya releases an F-14B before AMK gets their kit on the market. It's also going to be interesting to see what the GWH kit looks like.

I never dared to hope that Tamiya would do an F-14A in 1:48. After that, I didn’t dare to hope they would do a D. Now, I’m hoping just a bit that they will do a B. I will definitely be paying attention this September! But yes, I want the AMK one - it will be 95% of what I need to model an F-14 on the glideslope! “Roger, Ball!” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big butts certainly drive me nuts, but only on lasses, not on a fat-arsed F-14 kit in 1/48th scale, that is. So, by the look of it, the fat-arse on the AMK Cat wasn't an "optical illusion" after all... Cheers, Origami Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madcow Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Maybe AMK should just release a "Tamiya F-14 update" with only the parts for the moveable flaps, slats, bats, rats, maps, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
