Charlie Hugo Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hopefully an accurate one at last, and a SAAF AZ as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just now, baldwin8 said: Do you have an inside scoop? No, but I don't need it. Raymond Chung who owns Kinetic has a passion about making his kits accurate and having built most of the Kinetic releases I have no reason to believe that the F.1 will be anything other than good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonlanceHR Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Nevertheless, the quality of Kinetic kits is on the rise since he took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Nice one, perhaps two seater later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Great news on the F.1, at least it will be a LOT better than the Kitty Hawk disaster...................and the other Kinetic kits these days are pretty cool and good. Also really looking forward to the Pucara, and the M346, and that is due fairly soon now, so lots of nice goodies in the Kinetic pile on the way.

Scimitar F1 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I would say by involving SMEs Raymond is showing his commitment. It is not what you do it is what you achieve. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) That IS good news! I only have ~5-6 Italeri and FM kits But , 20 schemes to do?!! Kinetic, take your time and have good reviewers!! Scale, shape, etc are much more important than weapons count!!! Edited August 1, 2018 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 With this new Mirage F-1 from Kinetic we will most likely have two sets of two full-length half-fuselages for easier assembly : a set for the single-seater version and a set for a future two-seater version. The Kinetic promo video clearly shows us that the small rods of fasteners and reinforcements fuselage air intakes are present as parts. Also bet for a specific piece of ADF antenna ''Fin Fillet'' drift foot extension for Iraqis & Libyan Mirage F-1, a recce compartment faithful in forms for the F-1CR, as well as Mirage F-1CT and Mirage F-1AZ and F-1AD specific parts. This Kinetic project has just taken the lead in my acquisitions and budget estimates for 2019. In the meantime, I'm going to stock on Mirage F-1 1/48 decals sheets. 🤗 A very happy SharkOwl ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweinebacke Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I really was hoping for a 1/48 Mirage IV which is more than overdue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisov Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 But of course there is now a IV in the UK at YAM Elvington😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This is a dream coming true.... I can’t wait for this one!!! I hope they will NOT consider doing a Jaguar family in 1/48 after this, or I will need to file for bankruptcy 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Postponing Mirage kits, or Cheetahs or similar is not a nice act!! Neither is the Pucara.... I will NOT buy Starfighters and Hornets instead, trust me! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I am quite happy with the current Kinetic Model's new 1/48 kits and reboxing of older kits on the pipeline but I have a question : Any news about this 1/48 Kinetic Mirage F-1 project announced in august 2018 ? 🙂 SharkOwl Edited October 6, 2020 by SharkOwl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTX Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 It would be great if some one did a 1/48 kit or conversion for the Mirage F1.M53 (also referred to as the "F1E"). This had SNECMA M53 turbofan, a slight fuselage stretch and retractable inflight refuelling probe and competed against the F-16 for the "Deal of the Century" in Europe.

But yes would be interesting.. but actually can't be too hard to scratch, no? There was 1? Prototype, no? Did it actually fly? I do hope for a nice Kinetc model... correct shape and size would be a bonus If not I prefer the Esci mold.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petarvu Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I would love C/AZ box from Kinetic just like in ESCI kit Edited October 6, 2020 by petarvu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
