mikeew Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Just about wrapped this one up, the NEW Kinetic kit of the ubiquitous Hawkeye in 1:48 scale. Built straight-from-the-box Its a really nice kit, full review build will be in the March 2010 Scale Aircraft Modelling Mike Edited January 8, 2010 by mikeew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousFY21 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Looks really nice Mike, the weathering just breaks up that grey blandness which E-2 suffer from, even the brightly adorned ones. richc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoslord Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 looks really really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Very convincing rendering! The weathering looks just right, breaking up the monotony of grey most effectively. Nice! Were the static electricity trailing edge dissipators OOTB, too? ;-) Best, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Mike, Gorgeous model, waiting with baited breath for the magazine article and Phil's video build on Promodeller. Can't wait to build mine but want to hang on for some slightly more colourful AM decals. Do you know if any are in the pipeline? Anyone heard any rumours? Well done again, superb.

TomcatFanatic123 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 SWEET! And I look forward to the review build in the S.A.M. magazine, I've got one of these in the stash, and it'll be a long while before I get around to starting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing the March SAM but I probably won't get to see it until April here is Canada since we get it about a month after its release.

mikeew Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Many thanks guys, glad you all like it @Joachim - the trailing edge dissipators are moulded in on the kit, but rather thick, so i did replace them with fine wire this also enabled me to add the drooped shape to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishgreek Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sharp looking kit. Do the pictures show it sitting on the tailhook? Must need a lot of weight up front to keep it upright! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Gypsy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Bloomin eck that’s a bit tasty. These kits are flying off the shelves at Frome Model Centre, & after seeing the finished article I can see why. I’m looking forward to reading the article.
