CF104 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If you looked at their Facebook post. They are doing a missile set that will be available separately. Last I looked this thread was about their F-14D and not a missile set. Great that they're doing a separate missile set but my reply was in regards to what was posted by Solo and is relevant. And I do have a FB account but I rarely log onto it as I'm not a huge social media fan. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boom175 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 What if John doesn't have FB. Does everyone have FB? I wish people would stop assuming that everyone on earth has FB. Cheers & Happy Modeling Brad Whether you like it or not, and I understand those who do not. A lot of companies are using Facebook as their portal to the "digital world" It's a lot easier to get the word out and you don't have to keep your website updated and it's pretty immediate to all platforms tablets,smartphones and PC's. I think you can access some of the companies "pages" without joining up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers & Happy Modeling Brad 1; I never had Facebook and most likely never will. 2; Their page is publicly accessible, you dont need to have FB account to view it.

CF104 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I really appreciate your concern that I don't use FB to gather all of my information from. Taking this into account my reply to Solo was based completely on what is in this thread and is a valid opinion. If you can accept this fact then lets please move along as this is just a waste of forum space. If you can't, well then there's always Facebook. Ciao, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgrease Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Lol - some of these threads start to resemble a room full of angry old men. I get it - no self-respecting modeler on ARC uses FB. Can we get back to the AMK F-14 for a minute or two? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tony.t Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 What if John doesn't have FB. Does everyone have FB? I wish people would stop assuming that everyone on earth has FB. Cheers & Happy Modeling Brad Agree. The assumption that one may log into... FACEBOOK BEAKFOCO COOKBEAF OBOEFACK BACKEFOO ABOOFECK FAKEBOOC CEBOKOAF BACEFOKO EBOCKOFA COKOFABE BACEKOOF FAECKBOO BOKOCAFE ...is just that. Like the look of the AIM-9X, -9D/G/H and -9L/M, but what's the red one? Is it some kind of training round? Looks like an AIM-9B with oversized J/P/N canards. T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 **I WILL PREFACE THIS BY SAYING, I REALIZE THESE ARE ALL IN-PROGRESS RENDERS AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** but what's the red one? At the risk of sounding glib... fictional? Like you said, it's sort of a B (I'd say closer to a C), with J/P/N-like canards and (sort of) rollerons. But the J/P/N had a tapered seeker, and the proportions of the canards are not correct. It's actually closer to the Chinese PL-9C. To be honest, they're all kind of problematic. The rollerons on all the missiles are off. The back of the X is just totally wrong. The canards aren't very accurate on any of them... Like I said, the J/P/N canards are way off. The L/M canards are wrong; they also look to be oversized, which makes the whole front end look weird - like Italeri's L/Ms. The D/G/H canards look bad. Martin: PM in-bound. I think I can direct you to some very good references. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You might snicker and laugh, but I've always thought one of the best OOB AIM-9L's was in the Monogram F-14 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parche Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You might snicker and laugh, but I've always thought one of the best OOB AIM-9L's was in the Monogram F-14 kit. Totally agree with you on that one. Nice detail and they didn't go overboard on pieces... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll reply to you shortly, sorry for the delay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martin @ AMK Models Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The intakes will be one piece slide molded items so you don’t have to go through the rigmarole of having a horrible seam somewhere between the intake and engine covers. Should extend all the way back. It will have the rivets on the inside of the intake mouth which others have missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not me, anything that will keep the costs down I am all for that and engine and open panels will add to cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are talking about a one piece outer fusalage intake piece that you have in the CAD above. What about the inner (white) intake piece? Will you be making the intake trunks one piece as well? :pray:/> Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
