MA Cooke Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Nice. How does the AMK compare to Tamiya? (I've just finished the "main" paint phase on my first Tamiya Cat, building it has been a joy!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper-dc Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Thank You. I will try in a few sentences to make a comparison of tamiya and AMK tomcat. -Cockpit, Amk much better and probably more accurate, the instrument panels on the decals are gray instead of black. -Tamiya seats much better, AMK are detailed but I think they filled the headrest. -Wheelbay there AMK did a top job something like the Su-35S GWH. -The landing gear here also AMK surpassed Tamiya and the hydraulics are almost faithfully done like on a real plane. They also have a front landing gear ready for catapulting. - Wheels, Tamiya much better. - Air inlets, Tamiya did it much better and easier. -Wings is again a better AMK because it also has wings in the catapult position. - Nozzles, AMK did more details -Weapon carriers tamiya did much better, PROBABLY AND ACCURATELY -Weapons: The AIM-9M is better the AMK, but the advantage of the Tamiya is that the G / H variant can also be done AIM-7 Here AMK may have made the best version of this rocket in plastic, while with tamiya it is possible to make an earlier version E and a later F The AIM-54 is again a better AMK, but the A or C version can also be made with the Tamiya -GBU-12/16 I prefer tamiya because AMK has a little more work around pin marks. -GBU-31 tamiya better. -GBU-38 only has AMK and they did a great job. Decals, AMKs look better and thinner to me , but for me personally tamiya has nicer variants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
