Aaron Drop them an email and ask? Their customer service is pretty responsive. Then come back here and let us know. Their release date is 4/10/18. (Not that I want to blow up the internet with that statement......) Edited March 17, 2018 by Mr Matt Foley Additional Info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Do you believe that AMK could have ready all moulds and sprues to launch model in next 3 weeks and not show it anywhere? Don't think so. Edited March 17, 2018 by Solo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UpperDeck Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) I cannot believe such a let down in communication from AMK. We went from too much trumpeting talk to almost nothing. Isn't there something possible in between ? Like 1 honest monthly follow up ? Or are their hands so full that they cannot spare 5 minutes for 1 simple follow up ? I read the story about the factory priority business part, then the model kit moulding if it becomes a priority (massive order ? In advance payments ? Relax, these are only guesses) but... can you build customer confidence by telling them "you're coming after, or buy tons and you may become a priority" ? Do all young small model kit producers work this way ? Edited March 19, 2018 by UpperDeck Brand confusion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually not a bad idea since it looks like you get two versions of the wings, one clean and one with everything hanging out. I could replace the KASL ones I have for the Tamiya kit. Hmmmm...

galileo1 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Those wings do look pretty good and would complement the Tamiya Tomcat nicely. Edited March 20, 2018 by galileo1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm curious why they made the slime light panels on the wing tips separate pieces. They aren't clear glass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I can see that on those wings panel lines are significant wider then subtle lines on Tamiya's Tomcat. I am sure those wings could looks strange together with Tamiya's hull. Edited March 20, 2018 by Solo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Looks like the mad trencher has been at work at AMK.... They look significantly deeper and wider than the Mig-31 which was already to prominent with regard to panel lines. Ouch... Off to a buy a couple more of Darrens F-14D conversions looking at those photos. Edited March 20, 2018 by dehowie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
