Now, sanding it away if not needed is not an issue, if you now delete the part of the inside mold that makes it hollow the issue is solved. That should be easy since it just requires a piece of metal to be removed from the mold... cheers Uwe No. No need another piece and sand it off. For other variants, the GPS dome will be gone, while the small piece will be still molded on. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dryguy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Sio, everything I have seen so far looks absolutely stunning. I am one of the 'crazy' people that didn't buy the 'competitions' F14 because I wanted one with flaps down, ready for a cat launch, and because I am cheering for you as a company. I guess my budget doesn't allow for both yours and the competitions, so I choose yours. I am really looking forward to this, but I really appreciate the lengths you have gone to. The details you have provided have me absolutely salivating! Can't wait to see what you guys have done with the mess of wiring and pipes that is the f14 wheel wells, especially if you managed the 'twirly' part. The surface detail looks about perfect to me personally. Edited March 26, 2018 by dryguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of release of piecemeal info makes people talking about your pending release but it leaves a bad experience of the company as well. It would be much better marketing strategy to just release the kit like Tamiya does instead having the tongues wagging for 78 pages with no kit in sight.

madcop Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I placed my pre-order (Indiegogo) on the 8th of June 17. I am now 97 , so that I can still wait a couple of years or more. No problem...dreaming makes you see the future and desire keeps you living ! And when the wait will be over, you'll realize that's it is just another box full of plastic bits better or worse than the other pieces of plastic you already have. So, if that doesn't kill you , you'll start dreaming again about the perfect whatever you can dream of...( e.g 1/32 N.A. P-51B for me....). So , thanks to AMK for keeping me alive !...

I've been exposed to plastic-epoxy and enamel paint fumes and many others for much longer than you had ! ( I won't speak about the resin powder I swallowed ....) You very young F-16 jockey ! Yes, my feet are feeling like they were 97 ...but they'll still support me till I go to the post office to get my F-14 in 2020 ! I'm leaving now cause I have to take my different medicines and a little bit of EPO. Madcop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They never announce. They just show their finished product at some Hobby show and make little tweaks after some feedback and then release it to the mass market. Just look at how they recently released their Bf-109G6. Follow its timeline. By the way, what a kit that Bf109 is! Absolutely awesome. A must have :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
