Simon Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks a bit better, to say the least, than the old Heller 1/50 kit...of which I seem to have accumulated five for some strange reason Can't wait to get one of these! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurent Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 French AF, QinetiQ and DADS Canada markings but no Luftwaffe!!! Luftwaffe Alphas had STENCEL seats. I don't know if these seats will be provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Luftwaffe Alphas had STENCEL seats. I don't know if these seats will be provided. Yup, have to wait and see but probably not. Wonder if they'll have included MB Mk10 seats for the QinetiQ one? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Wonder if they'll have included MB Mk10 seats for the QinetiQ one? Sure. Look at the testbuild. In fact there's a little problem with it: the French decals represent an aircraft in which Mk10s have never been installed. Only French guys will notice... they already have of course.

andym Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Right enough, I assumed they would come with Mk 4 for the French aircraft, looks like they will only have Mk 10. An opening for the aftermarket boys for a Stencil seat (could use Pavla one at a stretch) and a suitable MB Mk4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisov Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Still pending at Luckymodel, who I thought had a connection with Kinetic, yet selling on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281124963136?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 wonder if they actually have stock but the numbers sold keep increasing.

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Any reason why this kit appears to have been deleted from the Hannants website? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushBrit66 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Got my Alpha Jet today. 7 days from Hong Kong to UK. Typical Kinetic modular quality package inc etched parts at a reasonable price. Looks a little crisper than say the F-5A kit. All in all I am impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I really would like to buy this kit, BUT ... Which UK retailers stock it? I can't find it in my usual suppliers (Hannants and ModelsForSale). Has it been released in UK yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find it in my usual suppliers (Hannants and ModelsForSale). Has it been released in UK yet? It used to be listed on Hannants - I had it on my watching list. Now it's no longer listed - apart from on my watching list where it just says: "Not Available i...". I'm intrigued as to what came after the "...".

CaracalModels Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) The Patrouillle de France Alpha Jet decals are now available and shipping; in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale. I have spent a lot of time and effort to ensure an accurate and comprehensive set (with all special tail markings worn by the team since 1993), and I am very happy with how it turned out.
