exdraken Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 interesting! Kinetic and Hobbyboss fighting it out now ?? for so long there were only mediocre resin kits of thins interesting and operationally successful aircraft available in 48th, and now to of them! good to know there is also a competition on concerning decals, als Caracal and FCM bring out very extensive and complete looking sets!" Hope they will fit both kits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I must admit that the AMX is one of those jets that just looks good - the kind of thing we Brits would design but its more of a Ferrari than a McLaren!! Surprising that more airforces in Europe didn't buy the two seater - but then BAe and Dassault have the trainer market sewn up. Has anyone produced a 1/72nd kit?

Laurent Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Has anyone produced a 1/72nd kit? Injected plastic kit made by Aeroclub and it wasn't great. Other kits are resin (Cunarmodel, Warrior, Liberty, etc). I hope that Kinetic and/or HB (as long as is doesn't cost 30USD...) will do a 1/72 plastic kit.

Ali62 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I think my money will go on the Kinetic kit from what I have seen on line, rather than Hobby Boss, but will be interesting to compare in the plastic. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) hmm. .... that is the Italian version with the vulcan canon on the port side nose shape/ canopy looks strange to me ... a bit flat? refueling probe seems to be above the canopy top line...? maybe that's all through perspective though!

Laurent Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I don't know if the Ghibli is stalling or if there's a severe crosswind but the painting looks weird 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I don't know if the Ghibli is stalling or if there's a severe crosswind but the painting looks weird actually it looks like crashing this very moment maybe they should have re-positioned the runway a little bit and changed its slope to match the plane's attitude Edited May 28, 2015 by exdraken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's not of importance Laurent. Kinetic's kits are nice and already available. So why to go Hobby Boss? V.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's not of importance Laurent. Kinetic's kits are nice and already available. So why to go Hobby Boss? Dunno. Perhaps the HB kit will be easier to find ? Perhaps it will be cheaper (HB could eventually adjust the price given that the Kinetic kits already exit) ?
