From the pictures I saw (cover artwork and test build or mock up) I expected it would be a 2017 release. However 2018 is also fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 https://www.kittyhawkmodel.com/kh80114 I hope it's better than the artwork, the drop tanks will foul the rotary weapons door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 But I started the other thread about the A/C models, not the B (which I have no interest in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they don't make that time frame, what do they have to lose -- they already have your money? V.P. Edited April 7, 2018 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seller looks to have a direct sale link with Kitty Hawk, I feel he is reputable. I know someone who was involved with this kit, he produced the decals 3-4 years ago. They were printed at that time by Caracal and delivered to KH. The kit was delayed because KH wasn’t happy with the first test shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rather concerned that sprue shots haven't been released. Sam Harrison on the FB link explains exactly why the single seater is wrong (and it's been pointed out many times before) and I'm concerned that the two seater will be even worse. I am cynical as KH have burned me twice (MiG-25 and Banshee) and singed me twice (Huey and Twogar) the latter, again, after concerns were raised at the CAD stage and ignored. Again. Then they lash out at the forum trolls for bringing these errors to light. No, I'm not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Not the decal options I was expecting, at least the RCAF squadron is one I served in, the last one I served in. I retired a Nighthawk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in 409 during the CF-18 era. I don’t often say I retired a Nighthawk as I was only in the squadron 6 months before I retired. My squadron 416 Lynx Squadron was disbanded then reformed as 409 ( basically the same people, buildings, and jets). I was 8 years a Lynx and that is where my strongest loyalties are. Ironically when I was fresh out of trades training and posted to my first squadron, two recently deactivated 416 Voodoo’s were flown into our base. 416 was the last squadron to fly the Voodoo in the world. My first task as a new maintainer was to decommission those two jets. I still see them often as they are in the Aviation Museum my sons air cadet squadron parades in. I grew up watching them at airshows. They always flew an amazing four plane show. I served with a lot of ex-Voodoo maintainers and aircrew. I never looked at it this way before, 416 was deactivated at the start and end of my career. 409 was activated at the start and the end of my career. I also worked on ex-416 aircraft at the start and end of my career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well here is hoping for the best with this effort by KH. I do think we will see quite a few aftermarket decals if the model is good. I looked up the Lynx Squadron and on Wikipedia they had this great shot of a 416 CF-101 which would make a great choice: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f5/8b/81/f58b814a80c56026ee7461d553630373.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
