Since today (May 6th, 2012) the Lucky Model website proposes the Kinetic 1/48th Northrop F-5A/CF-5A/NF-5A Freedom Fighter kit (ref. K48020) as pre-ordable.

Kinetic being closely related to Lucky Model, such advertisement indicates usually a soon release from the kit.

Price P&P incl. : +/- £ 19.00!

What's wrong with the Norwegian roundels? :rolleyes:

Wrong proportions. Also wrong sizes for some of the subjects. Most important, they don't look right.

It seems it has a recce nose for the RNF-5A version. :D:P

Those items highlighted in red seem to be A; the venetian blind vents as appeared on the F-5E Tiger! and B: the chaff dispenser as fitted to Dutch NF-5As and sold on to Greece in whose markings these are by the look of it.

I agree with you but i can't find the recce nose parts on the sprues pics. Does this kit contain any parts for a recce version of the F-5A? :(

1/48 : Is the F-5A Kinetic Kit Discontinued ?

 

Is the ref. K48020 F-5A Kinetic Kit Discontinued ?

It seems now impossible to find on any webstore of the planet !

And it is no longer on the catalogs of ''TopGun'' resellers like Hannants and Luckymodel !!!

I have asked the question directly to Kinetic Model on their facebook page but no answers for now.

Thanks for any info about it !
