HI Bob with AMK kit do you mean the academy kit ? because if you do I built one in 1/48th an it was a very reansonable build an fit an very good decalsSome very nice skills, and useful photos as I'm just about to starting weathering my Tamiya Tomcat.
What was the general consensus of opinion on the AMK kit?
Hi Joe ya that one just photo bombed itself in.Great photos, and they're all fantastic Tomcats. Except for the one rogue F-5 in there!
Bob, the AMK has all the detail you need in an F-14 but most say the Tammy kit is the easier to build. Still there are shape issues on both kits. The AMK has a tight fit and the plastic that these guys got for their test builds was brittle so when dry fitting it went well like a glove but once gluing starts from one end the other areas will pop up. Also the builders had to build without the instruction sheet. The production batch has addressed the plastic issue I was told.Some very nice skills, and useful photos as I'm just about to starting weathering my Tamiya Tomcat.
