salomon Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Don't want to get the Tamiya and I have no doubt the model is just right, but I'd wait for the AMK's Tomcat, much more details. Any release date? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow! This is going to be incredible once it's released! Looks to be the answer for all of those that said the tamiya kit was too basic, you always have to watch what you wish for. Thankfully, looking at the cad of the wings, AMK appear to have taken inspiration from tamiya and the wings will be able to be fitted after all the painting is done with some really sturdy attachment points, nice touch!

It will be interesting to see where the price falls. While I love the detail of my Foxhound, I might have been less inclined to buy it if the price was, say, twice as much as I paid. Similarly, if AMK's Tomcat is twice the price of the Tamiya, I'll probably just buy the Tamiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looks great. Think it was mentioned elsewhere in the thread that two types of wings will be included, which is great for those, like myself, who have limited space but plan to build a few. As to price, Martin had mentioned around £45, but i'd imagine this will creep up a touch. Even so, I'm sure to will prove to be equally, if not more popular, than the Tamiya kit. 4 for me please!

I'm pretty sure Martin said it will hopefully be a similar price to the MiG-31, that kit was about £40-£45 when it was first released but that seems to have drifted up over the months, but that could be down to the fall in value of the pound since last June as much as anything else. I wouldn't be surprised to see it reach the market at around the same price as the Tamiya kit, but I'll be a happy camper if it's cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I expect it to be much better than the Tamiya kit, so even if the price is almost equal, for me it will still be justifiable... Now, if it is closer to what Martin said (I wanted to write "promised", but this wouldn't be fair, as things have changed considerably since then) a few months back, it will be even better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 A firm release date would be good enough for me at the moment, it'll give me time to save up and, more to the point, plan how to get it past SHMBO!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it shipped to your place of work. That's what I do. Guaranteed to never miss the post and gives you plenty of time to sneak it past the missus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobby_23 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I had a couple of kits stored in my drawer at work, sat there for about 4 months and then I brought them home. SWMBO didn't even notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James S. Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 This was just posted on Facebook: Avantgarde Model Kits 11 mins · Still alive and kicking contrary to what some may have you believe. Life is busy. Kfir is coming and a Tomcat is purring in the wings. Such noisy things they are. Toms carrying a couple of Phoenix's in grey under his arms. Pointed at? So, nearly Easter. I can honestly say that we won't be doing any "eggs" or"cute" things. Just models we would want to build ourselves with as much accuracy and detail as feasibly possible all with a proper real and down to earth price tag. How much for that 1:48 kit?????? Nope! Not from us. Tomcat retail should be about our MiG-31. Beat that if you dare. So eggs? Heck no! Sorry if that offends but we think a well researched and tooled kit is worth it's weight in platinum. Easter eggs made of chocolate? Gimme gimme. The Phoenix's are pointed at plastic eggs 😎 https://www.facebook.com/avantgardemodelkits/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED&fref=nf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
