This with the Airfix Hunter are the two main kits for me this year. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairystick Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The kit is reported as being "in-production" now that all the final testing has been completed. With the amount of display options (flaps, slats, spoilers, nosegear, weapons) it will be challenging to decide how to display this beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could make or break AMK I hope it's a triumph personally. Obviously we must each buy several to display the variations 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we must each buy several to display the variations Looking at the level of detail in it (loving the look of the open spoilers and the detail hidden in those areas) it should do well... IF the distribution network is better than the marketing we have seen so far. I think I made a mistake by pre-ordering one. Should have ordered three! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I’m definitely interested in buying a couple (couple = 6) though would have to find a way to backdate a few to F-14A or else create a few ‘fantasy’ schemes given that the majority of the builds I’d like to cover are A’s with the occasional B. I’m after the AMK kit for the options, quality and versatility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd rather wait for a jewel than have to work on a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
March Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hopefully now that the D is more or less ready, A & B versions will be reasonably fast follow on's. *Clears honking great space on stash shelf in anticipation*... *In fact, scrap that, orders new racking especially...*. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocoolname Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Shelf space already cleared. In fact July’s space reclamation stash reduction exercise paid off twice in freeing up existing space while giving me cash to buy a new set of shelves. Which obviously need filling. After all, nothing threatens the fate of the universe more than empty shelves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masinissa Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 If you live in the United States you can Pre-Order AMK's new F-14D at Kitlink. This is an online retailer run by the owner of the now defunct GreatModels website. I have no affiliation with Kitlink and have yet to order from them. I did order quite a number of items from GreatModels. This is not AMK's Pre-Order through distributors, or the IndieGoGo Campaign, so you won't be getting the extra weapons I believe. The kit is a bargain at a discounted price of $51.95! Shipping via USPS priority mail is $13.15 for one kit. If you buy four kits USPS priority Mail is $17.99 🤔 Got friends? https://www.kitlinx.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=AGK88007&title=F-14D-Super-Tomcat-Fighter-(New-Tool)---Pre-Order-Item You may also Pre-Order the weapons set for $25.55 https://www.kitlinx.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=AGK88E01&title=US-Ordnance-Weapons-Set-for-F14D-%2388007---Pre-Order-Item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masinissa Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Looks like they may have backed away from the innovation of clear inserts into a canopy frame. Or is it a one piece insert? Time will tell. Can't wait to get the kit. Edited September 23, 2018 by Masinissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 They are doing both a two (three)piece canopy and frame and a single piece canopy. There are no pilot figures, I don't see this as a problem as you can get much better bespoke figures to match the kit level of detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm now even more eager to lay my hands on this kit ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pilot figures would be instantly binned and, I prefer single piece canopies! Quality nowadays is more than adequate to be able to see everything under the roof and, a closed canopy is one less thing to damage or break!
