Scimitar F1 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 The lack of response probably answers my question. This suggests we are due surprise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond et al are probably interested in more than the Cold War, I should think. I'll move it to the Rumourmonger and see if it has any more luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 A 1/48 Dassault Mirage F.1 is apparently on the cards. Timescale unknown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

593jones Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 1/48 Hampden? Well, I wish someone would! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Mirage F1 is definitely expected...probably more Kfir/ Cheetah/Mirage III derivatives as well ! The French connection slowly gets done it seems... but maybe an early Dassault jet is still possible... or even better, an Alizee? apart, a Skyhawk or even Crusader would somehow fit their release schedule as well... Or a complete F-16 retool in shape, fit and .... at least those are my 48th expectations Alternatively I'd want a PC-7/9.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I wish for an Ouragan or Vautour. Both used by Israel so likely attractive to the US market, and the French AF has a faithful following too. In 48th as 72 have options already. If they release a good Banshee that would work I think the KH kit is awful (other opinions are available). We shall see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Can we not make this into not another wishlist please? We're in the Rumourmonger section, not the "Wild Speculation & wishlist" section, so keep it to subjects that you've heard they are/were doing. Thank you 6 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 everseller > esoteric >everseller > esoteric > everseller and so on........ Problem: nearly all attractive eversellers are doubled, tripeled and quadrupled like Tomcats and Phantoms while demanded esoteric subjects are seemingly endless.

The KH Banshee WITH the Rieth Creations resin intake set corrects most of what is wrong with the kit. The nose gear is a little issue, I wish he would have corrected that as well. It is hidden pretty much in the well and by the doors. Go to his website to see what his set does, riethcreations.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 48 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Is there a dramatic difference between an AV8A and AV8B? would the latter be worth a pop? Maybe a Kestral ? Have 2 of each of all the 1/48 Kinetic Harriers now, would go for those for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Kestral ? Have 2 of each of all the 1/48 Kinetic Harriers now, would go for those for sure. Would be a totally new kit, as would a Kestrel, as would be a P.1127. (I'd like to see the the steps prior to the Harrier done well in 1/72 but it's hard to see a profitable volume of sales coming out of it. Premier League famous experimental types like the Bell X-1 or X-15 are a different matter) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kinetic should be able to sell it in more countries than just the US just by adding some extra markings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Qatar and Kuwait are those other states, actually those with the fantastic color schemes! https://www.airhistory.net/photos/0096593.jpg https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Kuwait-Air-Force-C-17-Globemaster-III.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Thank you. I had forgotten about the Mirage F1. A C-17 would be huge and quite a risk. Also would go against the multiple boxing strategy they use. Will see what get announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only problem with them is that I build mainly in 1/72 scale... I still have several of their kits but not as many I'd have bought in 1/72. Said that, I fully understand their choice of focusing on 1/48 Edited January 29, 2021 by Giorgio N 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting patiently since 2018 for the Cheetah 😇 Kinetic's quality has improved a lot since the Mirage family was first released and I wonder if the Cheetah has been shelved until the Mirage it'll be based on is improved and brought up to current Kinetic standards. Whatever the case is, I hope it comes soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
