    1/48 - Douglas A-4 Skyhawk family by Kinetic ? - rumour

    Since my name is mentioned here, with many guesses and not true facts, I decide to write some lines.

     

    1. I’m working as Project Manager since 2020, but I’m a contributor on the projects since 2017. I take care of Pucara, F-16, and forthcoming releases. 
     

    2. When I start to work on the company, G.91 project is announced. The true is that, my work together with the rest of my supporters was what permit to the company see that the G.91 project was a wrong shape. We decide to do it again and right, no matter how many time it takes. 
     

    3. As Laurent say on his post, create an accurate model kit demands much more than wishes and personal taste. It demand money, trustful references like blueprints or 3D scanning, and the most important thing patience/time. 

     

    4. About what is to be released on the future, well, wait. But you guys can be right that we will do it better and better. 
     

    I would like to make my conclusion saying to you guys take some care, mentioning name of people, with “things that I guess or I hear”, it’s rarely represents the reality. I’m working everyday to make things that will make our hobby better, not worst. Not all decisions are on my hands, but I do my best and I just ask you to give me a little respect.

     

    thanks,

    Really good paint job looks most convincing!

     

    Slight criticism, to make things better, you need to remove the Royal Navy  No 7 2inch rocket pods that were only fitted to GR3 for the Falklands war, and replace them with the correct 68mm M155 SNEB rocket pods the RAF used.

    Oh and by the way there has never been a "4th" Squadron in the RAF  its Number 4 (AC) squadron RAF. The RAF does not use  first second or third designations for its units. 😎

    Nice and grimy, but the opened canopy looks a bit 'off' 

     

    It should overlap at the rear and cover the turtle back a touch when open. Hard to explain but google images paints a thousand words...

    Thanks mates, Tony... About the Canopy.... I not cement it and he is just fited there without glue, maybe its the reason... I prefer that way to an easy cleaning and transportation... but you right on your tips...
