Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I don’t know yet Antoine to be honest. Don’t forget the L-39 is coming too so the timeline is all borked up. Sio knows... I think that the A and B will be at the end of the year or early 2017 certainly not 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Karma... Remind me about Karma 52, but that was an F-111... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 You’ll get it now.... Karma - spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). What is another way of saying Karma?

Antoine Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Spiritual? Well, if you don't mind, I'll think about it tomorrow. In the meantime, hopefully someone else will find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneel Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 it has to be vf-84, the final countdown, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 If it's a D model that's being released first, only 5 active squadrons flew it: VF-2 'Bounty Hunters' VF-11 'Red Rippers' (before going back to the B model) VF-31 'Tomcatters' VF-101 'Grim Reapers' (training) VF-213 'Black Lions Then VX-9 and VX-31 in a test and evaluation role. Confused by the hint but look forward to the answer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin @ AMK Hobby Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Ok, further help. Karma - spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). What is another way of saying Karma? What you do now affects the future. If you sow something now you collect it later in life........ you what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntPhillips Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 When the announcement was made about creative canopy design I had a feeling this is what was intended, I'm in 2 minds about that particular element of the kit design, with similar concerns to Tony above. Buy I'm willing to wait and see how it pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan76 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Love that canopy design! No masking required! Plus, it should look phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hope for a second option with a conventional canopy design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Canopy is a great idea.... I can see lots of fogged, wonky (even with the superb fit AMK offer), finger printed F-14 cockpits in the not to distant future though, it will take some careful gluing to get it right.

Muzz Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Be interesting to see how they tackle the sprue attachment points on those seperated canopy pieces... Maybe there won't be any sprue! 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Maybe there won't be any sprue! 🤔True but there would still need to be an entry point for plastic to flow into the mold and that point of origin would be a stub/sprue of some sort? I may be wrong though, not too clued up with modern in fact make that any molding technology... And also what someone said previously about fixing the pieces in place. Gluing them to a painted frame along a thin edge? Potential for alot to go wrong unless they are a tight click fit in place but then those sort of tolerances will change will a layer of paint on frame etc...

colin Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 They could have saved themselves the work and just provided some precut masked, inside and out. Looks a good idea until you add paint. Bet most get glued together first, masked then painted.Or has the Tomcat got a very complex shape that only this way will accurately mold it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use white glue, wear gloves and it shouldn't be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
