LeVi Tophatter Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It would be great if it was something 'exotic' but I reckon it will likely be a Hornet/Super Hornet 'family'. Kinetic haven't done the Hornet yet plus it fits in with all the modern US Navy stuff and accessories they've churned out to date: E-2 Hawkeye C-2 Greyhound S-2 Tracker A-6 Intruder EA-6B Prowler T-45 Goshawk Deck/Hangar deck tractors, fire engines, weapons sets, deck crew, etc, etc. (via Skunkworks). Pretty logical to me. Also paves the way for that mysterious new tool 1/48 F-14 'family'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrianm2 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I`d say is the F-14 family. Crossing fingers. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skids Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I reckon it will be the Su-17/20/22 (just because I have spent months and lots of money sourcing loads of AM stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Pete Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Beech King Air and Super King Air! Think of all the variations and markings. Guard Rails, USN trainers, Wernher von Braun's plane, RAF Trainer, tons of civil options. Bring it on! A guy can dream, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary West Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Did you just ask for less parts? Lol You ever built a Kinetic kit?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurent Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 You ever built a Kinetic kit?? Hi Gary, Modellers want more and more details, more and more accuracy. In many cases this implies introducing undercuts which isn't an option in plastic injection. Options: 1) use of slide molds which increases the tooling cost very fast; higher cost, often higher kit retail price to compensate, less kits sold 2) give up a little on accuracy; Zvezda didn't use slide molds on their Su-27 canopy while it would have been necessary to represent the capital omega cross-section 3) increase the number of parts but that increases the probability of fit issues and it makes the kit more complicated to build Engineering is IMHO the art of making sound compromises and this is what manufacturers have to do. We want everything but it isn't possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 3) increase the number of parts but that increases the probability of fit issues and it makes the kit more complicated to build Hi Laurant, Of course you and I discussed this very same issue only recently elsewhere - Its great to see people like Kinetic giving is flaps, slats and removeable panels, just make sure they fit well enough to justify the fancy CAD drawings dangled in front of our faces prior to kit release - their F-5 for instance builds into a lovely kit but only after one hell of a fight.

Scooby Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Modern jet not kitted before? Must be something Russian or obscure. I bet their definition of modern is something Cold War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boeing X-32 JSF concept demonstrator has not been done in 1/48. What about the North American XF-108 Rapier, although it's not really that modern. On the other hand, maybe it's a 1/48 Avro Vulcan ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Gary Kinetic kits have been pretty fiddly but they seem to be improving. From what I've read the AMX isn't too bad when it comes to fit.
