If both fuselages aren't aligned, yes, the picture itself is useless, there's no discussion. 1 minute ago, skuki said: And here comes red, green and blue lines.... sorry dude but you can not compare like thins, for a bunch of reasons. And if i need to have precise meassures with a tool and red green and blue lines to se the differences compared to another kit, not the real thing, they I can't take this to be some major fault in shape Both kits are representations in 1/48 of the same a/c, so of course we can compare thins. And it's not my fault if AMK is unable to provide decent top/side/bottom pics of their own kit, I say "unable" but we all know it's not a question of ability but something else.

If the fairing was more shallow and gentle in the curve I suspect the shape issue would largely vanish True indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he commits suicide I'll miss him badly !! 😋 You know, it's possible to discuss without insulting people you're not agree with or talking about their suicide. Last time you did it here, few months ago, it was already enough. It's pretty strange that, because someone on the internet doesn't share your views about a model kit, you think it's wise to attack him and insult him personally on different forum boards, differents countries, different languages. If you're affiliated with AMK, it's really not the best move you can play. If you aren't, you certainly don't help them behaving like this.

Lighten up, madcop. Go get some fresh air. Where is the insult ? I said I liked him . Now, if you do not understand the second part of of my phrase and the context , you're definitely not that smart ! I thought that Shion is sooo much involved in this bl...y piece of plastic , that if it would happened that he was wrong he could even think about suicide ... That all said with tongue in cheek for sure ! I don't need to lighten up and I have enough fresh air , thanks ! And if you think for a minute that all this litterature is going to make AMK change his mind...you must be dreaming ! Madcop 😍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIO Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 3 hours ago, Tapchan said: Please compare top lines of fuselage side (bottom lines on the photo then). Are you sure they are identical? What I honestly see here, is that Tamiya butt is more curvy that AMK. I generally love curves, so most probably will have to buy both. One A and one D. And then compare on my shelves.

No evidence 😅 and, even if there is, how do you know it still isn't the most accurate F-14 🙂 It looks more like a case of “not wanting to see” than cant see. its plainly obvious to every observer except you that the kits curves are far to large. The pic above shows clearly its far to curved. The fuse starts wider ends up narrower then finishes wider again. Some wont care some will.Unfortunately for Amk those who do care are the F-14 lovers who buy multiple multiple kits. No amount of wriggling on “photo angles are not identical” can hide that rear fuselage problem its simply obvious. As i said ill still buy one. But if done right i would of bought 6 or 7.
