AMK 1-48 Super Etendard - анонс

[Tali]

Вы таки будете смеяться, но АМК сегодня заявили 1-48 Super Etendard c такетами Exocet. Напомню, что немногим ранее эту же модель заявил Kinetic.

Очень интересные комментарии к анонсу (см. ниже). Оказывается, не только украинцев плющит на тему моделей непризнанных республик.

 

Macau authorises news of the following kit release:

1/48 Dassault Super-Etendard. 

With one piece Exocet, Air-to-Air missiles and other highly detailed options. 

Our access to this aircraft has been unprecedented! In fact, we have our friends currently assigned to one of the actual Falklands fighters involved in the conflict of 1982. No one can say that. The aircraft was taken apart for us to delve deep into her internals. 

Serious point though: We all know how painful war is for everyone involved directly and indirectly. We take no sides and will expect no political posts here please. Whether you call them the Falkland Islands or Malvinas, we respect you.

Вот оказывается к кому была ракета, которую AMK у себя на странице запостили недавно.

Одной деталью отлита - респект!!!

А я спутал с Кинетиком и не стал постить эту новость. Замучили азиаты штамповать одинаковые модели!

Антон говорит, что АМК первыми заявили Super Etendart 1-48.

Кинетик решили первыми свой выпихнуть. На Бритмоделлере есть большой коммент чувака из АМК на эту тему.

 

I prefer not to have any crass competitions between AMK and any other manufacturer. The truth is that we want to concentrate on our products. To worry about other manufacturers just detracts from this and risks our own product, something we are not willing to take chances with.

 

In point of fact, AMK has already made announcements and the pattern is full.... Hence the Facebook announcement today (Part 1).

 

Part 2 will follow soon.

 

I will say this however. We prefer to take the moral high ground here and we will not make any comment about other companies' business decisions.

 

In fact, we at AMK had already made our plans known to the modelers we care so much for earlier in the year. If other manufacturers wish to try and usurp us and bring out their own rendition or version of a kit then that is purely a matter for them and is, of course, at their own risk.

Modelers will always choose which kit to buy from their own perception of quality vs price, detail, tooling, ease of build, options and from independent reviews.

 

What I will also say is that AMK will always strive to make the details, engineering and shape as accurate as possible for you.

Quality control is, and will remain, a top priority. If that means postponing a release to make sure that quality is on par with that expected of us then so be it, we will do just that.

 

Take that as you will but another announcement on 2016 releases is incoming soon.

 

I will let you in on a secret. No one and I mean no one will have the unrestricted access we have to the aircraft I am talking about. I know that for fact!

Конкуренция. Я бы предпочёл АМК замыленному кинетику. Кстати, если сравнисать КФИРы, амкшный фюзель шире в хвосте, чем кинетик, выглядит более копийно.

Проект по выпуску AMK Super Etendard приостановлен.

Как минимум до выпуска F-14 и L-39. 

На БМ открыто голосование на тему того - надо ли его вообще продолжать.
