The 2018 new release will be introduced to the fair as well as all new release display from 2017. See you there! Though the question: what about the 2018 Kinetic 1/48th new releases/projects? I see five options: - re-release of kits with new decals like the freshly announced F-16C (link) - main contenders are: F-5A/B Freedom Fighter, E-2C Hawkeye (link), Mirage III, CM-170 Fouga & AMX; - new variants of existing kits with a limited number of new parts like Mirage III/5 or Kfir derivatives, single and two-seats MiRSIP, Milan, Nesher, Dagger, Finger, Cheetah etc.; - new variants of existing kits with several new parts like Harrier GR.1/GR.3 link, Grumman C-1 Trader & E-1 Tracer or S-2Ts Turbo (Fire) Tracker; - kits already announced and in the pipe line (see picture herebelow): 1/48th M-346 Master link, F/A-18D ATARS Hornet link (but also 1/72nd C-17 Globemaster link & 1/32nd F86F-30 Sabre link); - Brand new type(s). Then which one? That's the question. Dassault Mirage F-1 family? (Just to p. KH) Sukhoi Su-25 "Frogfoot" etc. All bets are off. Answer to the end of next week! V.P.

MB About as much as we need yet another damned Spitfire!!.On a more serious note, the Grumman E1/C1 definitely interest me. Frightened to think of what the C-17 might cost though.. That will probably be on my wish list for a VERY long time! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, true... or just like the Mirage 5COA which I'm currently building with the aid of an Antarki 1/48 awesome resin cone conversion bit. Incidentally, mon ami in La France, and speaking about the different Mirage 5 versions out there; have you ever gotten to build the Finger with the resin bits we traded back in... 2010, I guess?

Dagger not Finger if I remember correctly. No I didn't use it as I have no Heller kit to use it on. It's easier to work on the LatAm Kinetic boxing: Nesher nose provided, no need to rescribe.

Certainly, yeh; but it'd also be a lot more expensive than to use the good-old Heller kit for the Dagger conversion. It just sprang to mind how ironic it will be not to have a Heller Mirage kit to use up there in La France... How come? I just had the Heller fellas sent me a replacement right fuselage half a couple months ago. It'd be like not to have a juicy tenderloin steak for the Sunday grill down here in Argieland, sort of, y'know. Cheers, my mate. Unc2 PS: Just to remain on-topic; me wants the GR.3 kit, by the way.

Even "radar-less" is vague when one is talking about the Mirage 5s... the Mirage 5BA nose is different from the Mirage 5F for example. If you want to build a Mirage 5F, you can wait for a dedicated boxing or you can buy the South America boxing and add Wingman decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Jon, why don't you better get the Wingman Models Mirage 5F Armée de l'Air kit in 1/48 instead? It's such a great kit with an awesome decal sheet.

Caerbannog Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 As mentioned above - a Harrier Gr.3 makes sense. My very dark horse is an EF-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
