Homebee Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I've just received the following P.M. from a French modeller: "Homebee, did you see in the HLJ video at 27mn/29sec what was on display on the KH stand at the All Japan Model & Hobby Show 2013? http://www.hobbylink.tv/all-japan-model-hobby-show-reports-2013-part-2" You're right Norbert it's a....

heloman1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Oooooooooh, now doesn't that look very tasty. I wonder what the decal options might be, there are several foreign operators, so lets see what the kit brings? Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Source: http://scalemodels.ru/news/6739-anons-KittyHawk-1-48-S-A-565F.html Box art from the future French boxing - ref.KH 80108. Let's hope it's just a box art prototype as the correct designation from the heli depicted on the box is: a French Aéronavale SA.365F-1 Dauphin 2 (n°318 from flotille 35F) and not S.a 565F... SA for "Sud Aviation" (later AéroSpatiale, today Eurocopter) and not S.a A US Coast Guard boxing is reported to be in the pipe line. For my part, I've a dream: a Royal Navy FOST AS.365N-2 Dauphin 2!

heloman1 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you Google Eurocopter Sa. 565F Panther then you can see all sorts of variant in the image bank. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hi Glen, this looks good! However, I think there's an error in the text under the side profiles at the bottom - it says 'Mirage F.1 CR.....'. Also, the artwork on the decal sheet doesn't seem to match the profiles on the box, or have I missed something? Looking forward to this one. Do you have a release date in mind? Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Ooops. Sorry Sir but you still have to change the F-1CR captions under the box side Dauphin color profiles. V.P. Edited October 21, 2013 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoenL Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hmm and it says 'SA.365F/AS.565SA Dauphin II' but the AS565 is called 'Panther', not 'Dauphin II'. As long as the kit is nice I doubt many would care about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Can a Royal Navy version be built from the box, apart from the decals? I`ve still got the MA sheet so would be good to go if the basic airframe is the same. Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looking at the test shots Tony, I think the kit should be good to build to build an FAA machine. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
