About time we had a decent model of this aircraft in 1/48

We could also do with one in 1/72nd too!

Glad to see this though, hopefully they'll follow it up in the smaller scale.

Yeees!

Thanks Luis.

Release expected for Christmas time.

Not only the Brazil AMX-1M variant but also the Italian Air Force one.

1/48 AMX - Italy airforce - meet you in 2014 X'mas time

1/48 AMX-1M Brazil airforce

We're now waiting the release from the Kinetic Sea Harrier/Harrier family (FA.2 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234943597-kinetic-sea-harrier-fa2/?hl=harrier, FRS.1 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234973728-sea-harrier-frs1-kinetic-148/) and Mirage III/5/+ ( http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234959104-148-kinetic-mirage-iii5 ) families.

I confess, being not really interested by their future Douglas OA-4M Skyhawk ( http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234958047-148-kinetic-oa-4m;-possibly-more-than-just-a-rumor ).

I always wondered why Italeri never produced a model of the AMX.

They gave some thought to the idea but dropped it as the subject was not considered commercially viable.

Now let's see if all those people that wanted one will buy the Kinetic kit proving them wrong... :whistle:

Interesting latest release from Kinetic but sad to say the 'wow' factor is not there.Maybe it's due to the fact that there are only two users.Would love to see a few more italian stuff on the market especially the small and uncomplicated but a huge success ....the SF260m trainer/COIN aircraft.Maybe....just maybe Italeri will consider doing that!

The AMX isn't a very charismatic aircraft, there's not question about that. Yet it looks a little "meaner" with its slats and flaps down, it doesn't take a lot of shelf space, there are a lot of fancy italian anniversary schemes and the brazilian operational schemes look nice IMHO. The AMX must be an interesting aircraft or otherwise Altaya wouldn't have produced a 1/72 die-cast model of it. I'm very happy that someone finally makes an injected plastic model kit of this bird. And I hope that a 1/72 kit will appear.

The problem of the AMX is that its use has been advertised very little and to most it's just an obscure type serving somewhere.

However the AMX has seen a lot of use and has fought over the Balkans and in Afghanistan. The number of war missions completed by this type in Italian service is higher than many other types

The more I see this, the more I want it in 1/72nd!

There's a bilingual poll on the French Kinetic FB page (there's also a Japanese page BTW) asking if customers would be interested in 1/72 Mirages and AMX.
