There's a Buccaneer in design by Tanmodel...

V.P.

 

Yes but you know exactly what is going to happen - we wait ages for a good one and then two or three will come along together, just like the P-51D. Choice is a wonderful thing... :)

So, how long before it appears in an Italeri box?

 

 

Or in a Wingman Models box with IsraCast/IsraDecals resin bonuses.

Release expected in 2017 so maybe in the same time as the Ark Models' 1/48th Yak-130 "Mitten" :P

do not open a can of worms here Homebee!

it is general knowledge that the general deigns is from Yak and that Aliena futher developed it after the break up of their joint venture.

 

In detail, not much stayed the same after wards!

So, now let's see how long until Trumpyboss announce a M-346 😁

 

 

Really good selection of subjects from Kinetic. This one may end up in my collection!

Looks like someone at Kinetic likes Italian aircrafts ! Ok, this one is a bit like the kid of a Russian immigrated to Italy but let's say he got an Italian passport in the end... :D

 

Regarding seeing it in an Italeri box, it will depend on what kind of agreement they find and when. When the Kinetic AMX was first issued, Italeri was expecting to release the same kit in their own box but then this didn't happen, likely because the two parties couldn't find an agreement.

It has been a while since I announce new item here. It has been a busy year after factory removal as well as new tooling process. The brand new M346 is going to be released in August/Sept time. 

 

The new M346 use all the new tooling standard, the surface detail is using the latest 0.12mm high speed CNC / 5-Axis to take care special shape of the m346. Also, we use the similar approach of our F/A-18 design with top/bottom part (with complex slide mold) to deliver the simplest way to assemble the model. 

 

The kit also include canopy with and without MDC (used by Poland, Singapore airforce). Technically, the m346 is a training aircraft which it does not carry weapon. But we offer 2 sprue to include the AIM-9M and some GBU-12 for you to display "M346/FA"  - Fight attack version. The decal is designed by IsraDecal and printed by Cartograph.

 

We will attend the IPMS National in August in Phoenix and we will show up some test shot and build up there. 

 

Now, you can check out some CAD rendering here...
