Stephen Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm thinking early series F-8A/B/C/D Crusader or even better an RF-8A/G in 1/48 . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkOwl Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I bet for a complete 1/48 Mirage F-1 family of kits, with a lot of reboxing options. 🙂 SharkOwl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Kinetic seems to enjoy producing kits representing US Navy aircraft, might we be so bold as to hope it's a new tool RA-5C, with an A-5A to follow? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I can’t see it being the Fiat G-91, because it looked all ready to go until the shape issues were raised. And as this talks of new technologies not yet used in plastic modeling, I reckon this is absolutely anything but that. I hope it is the start of the Mirage F-1 family. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I hope the new kit is a 1:48 early Skyhawk. Rooting for an A-4B/C. Edited March 19, 2022 by Sturmovik 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If definitely 1/48, the Mirage F.1 idea appeals the most to me from the "realistic ideas" drawer. Really want an F.1CR and missed the Kittybird offering. If, perchance, it's 1/32, I could go insanely nuts over an FRS.1 SHAR. Alas, that's a pipe dream. As is an accurate F-111 series in 1/48 scale. As for new technology, slide-moulding to incorporate stainless steel leg inserts? Quinta or Löök style pre-printed 3D cockpit panels? Indium tin oxide coated canopy hoods?

VMA131Marine Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 My thoughts, all 1/48: SEPECAT Jaguar series: needs an accurate modern kit F/RF-8 Crusader series: Hasegawa are getting hard to find and the RFs have never been done in plastic EE Lightning F.1-F.6 and export versions: good as it is, the Airfix kit is over a quarter of a century old. Fairey Gannet: hey, you never know Mirage IV: because I want one that I don’t have to rescribe Su-15 Flagon series: because the Trumpeter kit really sucks Avro Vulcan: I need a coffee table 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Could be anything. If a scale was given that would be a start. Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to be right on this as I've just got hold of the Falcon RF-8 conversion. As for the new technology could they have found a way to mould modern blown canopies thin, undercut, and w/out seam lines to polish out?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Skyhawks would be the obvious choice. So many versions and marking schemes off the base kit. Just look at Kinetic’s F-104 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a (simple) mechanism to derive more likes /clicks I agree, unless they're closing up shop they're bound to be releasing a new kit sometime. I really don't like the "we're going to release something" announcements unless they at least tell you when they're going to tell you what it is. Otherwise it's a bit like them telling you they're still in the office doing stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I'd like to think that they would do a Eurofighter Typhoon which could well do with a new tooling. The Revell kit has a big and difficult to fix issue with its canopy and the general standard of tooling isn't as gijd as their earlier Rafale....

Agree with all the above, but the Beardmore Inflexible remains the most under-modelled subject in any scale 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
