Berkut Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Very true. Poor Song for instance has nearly been attacked here on ARC. But surely answering what is the name of the company can't be that hard? Again, oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardL Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's near the end of the year. Is this thing out yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not yet. Don't worry, you'll know when it's been released. I'm sure we'll see a ton of discussion about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laurent Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'll have to get one I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'll have to get one I'm afraid. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the Laurent version of a ringing endorsement! :lol: ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the Laurent version of a ringing endorsement! My checking account is asking for an Israeli aviation expert to persuade him not to pay for the kit. And he's asking AMK not to do a Kfir CE. Oh I've asked on FB if they could consider downscaling the kit to 1/72. They could do it if the 1/48 is successful enough. Edited January 3, 2013 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'll definitely be getting one of these, maybe more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ruud Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 and why Hasegawa hasn't come out with a 1/48 one like 10 years ago is beyond me... I'll wait for the 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuji Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm digging it but that centerline tank looks off to me. It won't stop me from getting one, but having looked over this jet for years, that supersonic centerline just seems wrong. http://htka.hu/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/F-21.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matilda Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 i will go for a few for sure, no doubt ... kfir, c2 and c 7 will just do me , but this cheetah with this loooong nose look really nice, sooo... looking forward. stevan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It won't stop me from getting one, but having looked over this jet for years, that supersonic centerline just seems wrong. http://htka.hu/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/F-21.jpg Yes, I would agree. It doesn't look close - too bulky to be a correct 880 litre supersonic centerline tank. I was comparing the pictures of the kit plastic to my IsraCast Kfir Fuel Tanks and Pylons set and reference photos. The real tank is considerably more pointed, too. Just my opinion based on what I see. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The real tank is considerably more pointed, too. Could it be due to the angle the model is depicted at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just my opinion based on what I see. Could it be due to the angle the model is depicted at? It's not an issue of the angle the model is depicted at. I have many friends that fly for ATAC & I have photographed the kfirs extensively. There are two different types of centerline tanks for the aircraft. One, a streamlined supersonic tank and the second, is fatter & little shorter. The tanks also differ in having unique tail configurations. Here's a couple of images to illustrate the difference. This is the fatter tank w/ heavier tail fin configuration. http://www.airliners.net/photo/ATAC/Israel-Aircraft-Industries/1319572/L/ http://www.airfighters.com/photo/67995/M/Private-ATAC/Israel-IAI-Kfir-C2/N402AX/ These images illustrates the more streamlined& IMHO, more elegant tank. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/92768/M/Company-Owned-Air-Tactical-Advantage-Company-ATAC/Israel-IAI-Kfir-C2/N406AX/ The kit tank, which is shown very well from the bottom view, looks to be a hybrid of traits from both of these different real tanks. Disappointing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
