dagger00 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I´ll buy some of them for sure, but please, Mr. Raymond Chung, take special care in the boxing process. I bought 2 Super Etendards and both have 2 right fuselages and no left one, I had to ask for them and recieved them after a month.I don´t know if the boxing process is in charge of humas or machines, but I think special care must be taken at that point. Best regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best regards. Sorry for the boxing issue. We have changed a new subcontractor in injection process. The problem of misplacement of the sprue is from the injection floor, not the packing process. The injection floor subcontractor misplaced the parts into the (left/right) incorrect carton box (both sprue looks similar). Therefore, when the box moved to boxing floor, the packing person does not know it and put 2 right fuselages. We have seen withdraw the subcontracting job from them and now the newly made tooling is produced and managed by a subcontractor who have long years experience in plastic model injection for many well know brand.

dagger00 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Mr. Chung, I must congratulate you for your quick answer and for your customer care, your enterprise has always been one of my favourites, and one reason is that, you have always taken care of your customers. Good to hear the changes you have produced. I´m also waiting for the next Mirage III -D...way to go!!!!. Best regards, Juan Sorry for the boxing issue.

Gene K Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I´m also waiting for the next Mirage III .... Me too, but in 1/72. Kinetic's very brief interest in this model (and scale) unfortunately seems to have died. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hoping that Mirage IIID is near release too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 30 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I received my kit from luckymodel today. Excellent service. The kit was nicely packed in a large box. The main pieces like fuselage and flight control surfaces look great but smaller pieces like weapons have some flash. One of two of the thin rails for the HARM is molded with a kink. The pe fret looks great and seems really thin and flexible. The decals are fantastic. On another note it looks like the vertical stabilizers don't have a curve to them. I can post photos if there is any interest. Edit for spelling due to auto correct on phone. Edited May 14, 2016 by Wayfarer 30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Do post some pictures please. I'd like to see the fuselage surface as well as some of the parts. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticWeapons Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Surface detail is smooth. The vertical tail fin tops aren't rounded but easy to fix. Hasegawa's tails are taller. The Kinetic tails match the height of the Monogram Hornet tails but slightly wider (chord). The fuel tanks are a tiny bit longer than the Hasegawa fuel tanks.

Emvar Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Awesome... now after the A,B and D get released. .... we need another F-14 kit. 😂😈 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Another TOMCAT ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Another TOMCAT ? 1/32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Another TOMCAT ? No, you need to do an AH-1W......I happen to know this guy that has everything you could possibly need to do one correctly, to include drawings from Bell. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Another TOMCAT ? Please not another Tomcat. But you can do a 1/48 Su-15, Yak-28 or a Pucara if you don't mind. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) You have my vote for an Su-15. In 1/48th scale of course. Edited May 14, 2016 by B.Sin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 😊 I'd love to see a Bell 412 in 1/48th and second a whiskey Cobra. Also The Chinook F and G models in 1/48th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Base on the current market suitation, we will roll in the Kfir before the Mirage as Italeri has the MIRAGE IIIE on the map. If we deliver the KFIR in the same kinds of tooling as in Su-33 and F/A-18C, do you think you willing to pay let say... US 250 for it ? And how many would like to pay for that ? Well based on how poor the Italeri Mirage and F-104's are you wont gave a problem selling them for that price! Poor fit, panel lines that are like trenches on aircraft with fine panel work. Who cares about Italeri the kits are overly expensive underdetailed and the detail that is present is over scale as wel as a huge price. Bring on the kinetic IIIE...

White Wolf Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 More importantly, more kits in 1/72 please. :pray:/> In 1/48, how about a A-7, Rafale, or Eurofighter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 A7 with fold wing ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 This is a thread originally talking about the Hornet... but can't resist to say Raymond, consider new 1/48 A-1E, O-1 and OV-10 please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Y'all crazy. At this point its new tool B-17 time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 B17 will be filled i guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 😊 I'd love to see a Bell 412 in 1/48th and second a whiskey Cobra. Also The Chinook F and G models in 1/48th. So would I. They'd get rich if they did the 412 and F&G model Chinooks. I'd like to see 1/48 AW-139s and BK-117s since I work on them now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
