JeffreyK Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Spotted this in Hannant's "Future Releases" category: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/K48066 . Haven't heard or read anything about it elsewhere or from Kinetic themselves, couldn't find anything through Google either. I'd be terribly excited if it was this scheme (same as Hasegawa's 1:72 release): Fingers crossed... Cheers Jeffrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffreyK Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hehe, I still kind of prefer the other one, but 5812 will certainly do as well. Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) And now for the Japanese market - ref. KNE48014A - Grumman E-2C Hawkeye JASDF - 50th Anniversary Sources: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10617800 https://beavercorp.jp/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/キネティック-E-2C-8枚ペラ-新製品注文書-2019.06.05.pdf V.P.

LanceB Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) A note about KNE48014A: the main decal sheet is from the 50th anniversary scheme, aircraft #460, which had the 4-blade props. The kit includes the 8-blade props plus a small additional decal sheet with tail and nose codes for #459, which was fitted with the new props. All the other non-50th-anniversary-specific decals are used to complete the markings for this aircraft (so don't use the blue-and-yellow stripes and 50th anniversary logos). The 4-blade prop parts are NOT included, so #460 in 50th anniversary markings CANNOT be built from the box. However if one has the C-2 Greyhound kit, which should have included both props, and used the 8-blade props on that kit, they could use the leftover 4-blade props on this new E-2C kit and thus build #460 in full 50th anniversary markings. OR - buy the Quickboost props! Edited June 11, 2019 by LanceB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just ordered this. Always wanted an E-2 in this scheme but abandoned the idea a few years back when the white parts of aftermarket decals I bought ‘yellowed’. Hopefully the kit will include some nice bright and shiny new decals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Has anyone else noticed that the bottom of the box art says VAW-115 Liberty Belles "Sayonara Atsugi" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
