Enzo the Magnificent Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Help! What colour scheme is this? I originally thought it was a hard-edged version of the TPS scheme, but now I'm starting to wonder if it is light gull grey with dark gull grey uppersurfaces.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Looks like this one F-14 Tactical scheme. https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f-14/f-14_profile02.shtml Or maybe this one. https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f-14/f-14_profile03.shtml Edited April 16, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl_five_zero Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Count me in! Can't think of a better gb to join for my first, if you'll have me. Finished the Tamiya -D tail end of last year, and I've just started the AMK kit. Hopefully by the time the gb rolls around, there'll be a -B offering from Tamiya (hint hint.) Can never have too many Tomcats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.W.E.M.D. Rich? You know the answer is a double build well that is actually very easy....build the F-14A...as I haven't bought the F-14D yet!

Covjets13 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Looking at my stash, and I seem to have assembled various kits, this gives me a good excuse to deplete the stash.... but which one. 1/48 AMK, Tamiya or Hasegawa, or 1/32 Trumpy.... Choices choices I’m in 😉👍👍👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening the box, it's hard not to be overwhelmed; it has all of the options I think any Tomcat fan could ever want and more. I have mine crouched on the cat with everything hanging down. You can't fault AMK for giving you practically any/every option you could ever want. The ordnance options are vast and comprehensive too... Even the LGB's have the options of having their fins extended. After getting stuck in though, it's hard not to be a little disappointed. Even after exhaustive dry fitting, certain areas just down fit like you'd like. I know I shouldn't compare it to the Tamiya offering but after building that, the AMK kit falls short in so many areas. Where Tamiya gets it right, it seems AMK over complicates the same areas. There are a couple of areas that have already been documented elsewhere that have shape issues, upon building and comparing to the Tamiya kit, they do become more apparent. If I were to add a second AMK Tomcat to the stash, I'd be very tempted to use it as a wing donor to the Tamiya kit. The wings on the AMK kit are a work of art. However. I fully intend to add several more of the Tamiya offering to my stash... I'm in less of a rush to say the same about the AMK kit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
