You use a 3d cut part as a master to form the mold under pressure. Then literally bake it. Very accurate (+/- .003"). We made gears that way, and were 90% ready to use when they came out of the mold. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has the price fluctuated any in the last few months? What will be the current MSRP? Scott CNJC-IPMS Marten stated several times it will come in at the same price as the Mig31 kits in the past. glt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Late 1970's technology. The basic cone would be turned on a CNC lathe in roughly six or seven minutes. The mill work for the blades is done everyday in the jet engine business, BUT they have another process to virtually make those blades come out perfect (if need be). For those in the know and those wanting to know; the machine time for a compressor blade is roughly three minutes. The finish process takes about twenty seconds. Don't ask how. glt So how many people were killed during the making of that video? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martin @ AMK Models Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 F-14 will be a similar price to the MiG-31, there or thereabouts. Not long now, I have seen the molds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anj4de Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Not so quick...let them show the Tomcat first! And then of course let's see how long it takes to make it available globally. The new 1/48 Kfir has still not arrived in Germany...only one dealer shows it as a preview with delivery potentially mid Feb. :-( thx Uwe Edited January 18, 2018 by anj4de Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nice detailing around the spoilers on the wing. Interesting that they are molding the canopy clear parts separate from the frame. Might be tricky cutting the clear parts from their sprues as there is no frame for the sprue to attach to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
