The Su-33 was originally AviationArt who sold the moulds/design to Kinetic and carried on developing the model to become the Minibase kit.

 

The other two are super popular subjects with lots of markings. 
 

I was genuinely expecting a Skyhawk so I expect that to come in due course

I must admit its not shouting at me, but there will be a good market for it.

 

I might be tempted if the put the ADF bits in the kit.

No ADF parts in the kit.

F-104:  Kinetic  vs  AMK

 

I strongly advise you not to hold your breath until the AMK Starfighter is released.

You'd display quite an entertaining shade of purple, but...

I my opinion the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu) F-16AM serial J-063, the only European MiG killer, still on strength with the 312 Sqn at Volkel air base, would have been a better subject than the J-515.

Here is the second decal option for the 48100 - F-16A MLU NATO VIPER.

This is a Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) F-16A MLU that was part of the EEAW - EPAF Expeditionary Air Wing - Operating against the Taliban Forces, from Kabul Airport, 2006.

Many modellers ask for the inclusion of marking options for aircraft with real operations on your service history . So, here is it.

Who knows who really shot down the plane...

Today we present to you the 3rd marking option included on the Kinetic Model 48100 - F-16A MLU NATO VIPER in 1/48 scale.

This is the Royal Danish Air Force - F-16A MLU from ESK 230, Home based at Aalborg Air Base, Circa 2016.

Remember that Kinetic Model decals are designed by the best companies, in this case FCM Decals, and printed by our long time partner, Cartograf.

Hope you like it...

And it seems that RDAF F-16A/B MLU are now gradually repainted during maintenance and wearing a ‘’F-35A type’’

color scheme with a slightly darker overall grey color, plus red & grey national markings !

 

Here is an interesting decal sheet about it from Lima November.

Dammit! 
See what happens if you check out for a couple of months? All sorts of nice goodies! :P
For me, this is a welcome release, considering the less than ideal first A they did. Good thing I held off on building that one, now the Chilean ex-KLu decals have a more worthy place to stick on to.

I hope and will wait if the cut will be an early option from the 80s. Also Israeli.

Then at least 5 sold in my stash.

Today is time to reveal the Norway Air Force Markings included on the new Kinetic Model 48100 - F-16A MLU NATO VIPER decal sheet.

We decided to include another aircraft involved in real combat missions. The F-16A MLU from 338 Skv "Tiger" was operating against Taliban Forces, back in 2006, flying from the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan.

We would like to mention the decals are designed with support of the Air Force Retired Crews, by FCM Decals and printed by our traditional partner Cartograf. It grantee a high quality on the colors and application work....

Hope they get the Norwegian roundels right this time. Cartograf prints great decals. But they can only print what they get from the artwork designer.

 

There should be fuselage roundels on the top side plan view drawing...

It could also be very cool Vingtor to reprint your own 1/48 decal sheet 48-115 F-16AM/BM

Fighting Falcon ‘’RNoAF – late markings’’ with lower viz red-blue-grey national roundels.

It is no longer available.

Thanks in advance for the future reprint.

With the new Kinetic kit, it is not unlikely there will be a new Vingtor F-16 decal sheet before too long. 🙂

Su-33:  Kinetic  vs  Minibase

F-16:    Kinetic  vs  Minibase

F-104:  Kinetic  vs  AMK

El F-104 the AMK es mucho, pero ninguna realidad. 

Sobre el Su-33, alguien vendió la maqueta , formas etc. a Kinetic , quien la termino  y la puse en el mercado. 

Algunos de Minibase parece que son los diseñadores  originales....y lo hicieron de nuevo, con mejoras....

Que pasó exactamente entonces sabrán ellos.... :(

 

Kinetic tiene un F-16A/B desde hace muchísimos años... pero esperamos que la saquen totalmente  nuevo 😀

Hi,

 

Interesting, but I find it a bit strange that they combine the Block 25 and Block 42 in one box. That means they'll have to include both the lightweight landing gear for the Block 25 and the heavyweight gear for the Block 42.

 

Cheers, Stefan.

Cheers, Stefan.

They probably skimped and use the same gear legs. Really you can get by with just different doors and wheels.  If this boxing really can do Blocks 25 and 42, you get 32 and 52 from the same box. I'm curious to see how they handle the Falcon STAR reinforcements and do they include things like PIDS pylons or targeting pods.
