To fans of Kinetic, the “LAVI” is coming... we will start the part revision process and manual preparation... Hope to meet everyone in short.

Special note: check out the one pc upper and lower fueslage, for those who build the 1/72 YAK-130, they will understand what it means!

Hi Mr. B,

I can imagine the double pleasure of examining the kit while drinking "tea tarik" :)

 

It seems the spelling corrector does not allow me to write t e h tarik, it changes it back to "the", strange...

Lol good one mate.

 

no t.e.h tarik though in the venue 😂.... it was a 2 day full on expo organised on a very large scale...kinetic was down the boss himself (they also had a kinetic kit challenge) lot of guys in the local society SMM worked very hard to make the event a success. You can see more on the smm facebook or one of our local  hobby shop facebook hobbyhq.Due to some unforseen personal matters, i only managed a short visit on the 2nd day but was very impressed and hope it becomes a yearly event with t.e.h tarik vendors invited 😂😂

 

i do plan to start the m346 before the end of 2018, will post a build log here. 

 

Cheers

I had breakfast at the Imbi Market in KL 3 years ago: Hainan tea and bread toasts with butter and Kaya at Ah Weng Koh, unforgetful experience! I miss Malaysia, its people and its food.

 

Cheers, if you ever coming down again, drop me a pm me and the guys, will be glad to play “host”. Kaya n butter on hot steamed bread....is a unforgettable experience....

And Leonardo M-346 Master with the markings of the Nigerian Air Force will be very cool !

Nigeria just ordered 24 of them.

The exact version of the M346 Master has not been revealed, but it might be possible

that Nigeria ordered the dual role M346FA Fighter Attack version.

 

To be followed.

And here is the first of six Leonardo M-346FT ordered by Turkmenistan !

Flight test at Venegono Italy.

 

Interesting three tones of blue color scheme !

It the the same color scheme of the current fleet of 24 x Mig-29 Fulcrum of the Turkmen Air Force.

These 6 x M-346FT will complement the 6 x Embraer Super Tucano currently on order and delivery.

🙂

Update :

 

Other medias like italian Matteo Sanzani’s ‘’Blog Before Flight.Net’’ is mentioning these 6 x Leonardo M-346FT

are not ordered by Turkmenistan but by Azerbaijan !

 

Confirmation to come soon.

Update :

 

Finally, Turkmenistan is confirmed as the launch customer of the Leonardo M-346 FA combat version. 4 x M-346 FA + 2 M-346 Master.

Interesting color scheme that looks like the one of the Russian Yak-130.

 

Russian style white ‘’Bot’’ numbers ‘’01’’ and ‘’02’’ and Turkmenistan ‘’eight pointed star’’ national markings on tail plus on four positions over and under wings.

🙂
