Muzz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Here's my latest finished project, Kinetics recent release of the recently retired Super Etendard Modernise. This was my first Kinetic it and was impressed with the standard of detail and fit, a nice selection of colour schemes to choose from and a stunning decal sheet. I used the Eduard's interior colour photo-etch set, their exterior set (didn't use all of it as usual) and their mask set, I also added L'Arsenal's Rafaut countermeasures pods/pylons and their Auf2 twin store adapter as the kit doesn't supply either of them. Armed with Eduards Brassin GBU-49's. I used Mr Hobby colour H305 and H337 for the camo, if I was to do another I would probably darken the H305 a bit to give some more contrast between the camo and the kit decals. The undercarriage and wheel wells were painted with Ak Xtreme Metal which is great stuff. Thanks for looking, all comments welcome. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Very nice. This has to be the first time I've read anyone say they're impressed by the standard of fit of a Kinetic kit. Certainly wouldn't have said that of the ones I've tried (Sea Harrier, where no two parts seemed to fit together first time, and Mirage 2000). Might be time to give Kinetic another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've built the Mirage 2000, Mirage III, AMX, Su-33, and the SuE, and they all fit well. They've gotten better over the years. The new F-18 fit exquisitely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
