Can be found quite cheaply on auction sites. Assuming you don't mind old tech eg raised panel lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine built quite well, a few years ago now and lives in a box in the atic somewhere, with no major problems but don't expect the detail of modern kits. I cant comment on its accuracy but looked fine to me. Give it a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant comment on its accuracy but looked fine to me. Give it a try. True, the old Heller kit can be turned into a beautiful model with some scratch building and rescribing the panel lines and elbow grease. Converting the Kinetic IIID is much less work though. Here's a link below of one built. https://www.saairforce.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9837 Edited March 27, 2021 by Bladerunner Missing text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is old and void of detail. I just build an Israeli B ...and really liked it! But for any other variant I'd either use the Eduard (C model) or Kinetic Mirage III as basis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs correction with smaller details like the front instrument panel, rear instrument panel and MFD, rear joystick, main gear wheels, CHAFF/FLARE dispenser, nose vents, detailed exhaust nozzle and ejection seats. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 you get lots of plastic in this box.... some even needed for the Cheetah D by the way, why have to set of differently sized (length) I assume 1300 L tanks on the same sprue? hope to build her soon! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avgas Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I hope our supply was on the same ship 😃 My mates in South Africa have had theirs for over a month now. Yes that market would be a priority so that explains that, but I feel like a kid patiently waiting for Christmas morning! Every time the question is asked on social media about availability here, the answer from Kinetic is 'soon'.. Been like that for 2 months now.. Anyway, I'll just have to adult and be patient 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
