hythe Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Interesting, even if it rather devalues my Collect-Aire one... Still, this one might be an easier build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I spotted this on Cybermodeler (and now here!). How bizarre to do a Twogar first rather than a single seater? The underscale Revell F9F-8 and the (very rare and expensive) Collect-Aire and FM kits are all that are available - for what was a very important fighter.

AngstROM Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Excellent. I hope the kit looks more like the box art than the mule... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kaeck Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hope K-Hawk got their things together once and for all now with this kit. So far they have impressed next to nothing in terms of quality, severe illfitting parts and research in relation to what they are charching broke modellers.. The Jas 39 and Foxbat are sad examples with pricetags where one has the true right to demand a better fit of the parts. So far they've failed to do the homework. Cudos to them though that they actually take their time to reply back when e-mailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Future dedicated Furball Aero Design & D&S decals for the soon KittyHawk's Cougar kits.

SleeperService Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well, I think this is going to be a decent kit. There is something off at the base of the windscreen in the model photos but that could be down to a construction issue. The bottom of the windshield should narrow as shown in the head-on drawing but that should be simple enough to remedy assuming the glazing is as thick as usual. If that's the worst of it I'm happy.

Steven Corvi Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Need to have plastic in hand before any judgement-It is only fair!. I am finishing up the Voodoo. It had its problems but it manged itself out in the end. Not a kit for beginners though. The Cougar may fit better due to its size but we will see! The subject matter KH is tackling is very inspiring ...nice to see some early jets and not another WWII airframe or F-16?!?! Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
