Scooby Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 B17 will be filled i guess By who? That is at least twice now you have hinted at this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewPerren Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 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. Finally someone talking sense. We NEED more 1/48 Helos. You know it's true so don't fight it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well we are a manufacturer so we need to know the potential supply of certain subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Getting back on the subject of Hornets rather than yet another wish list I'm building the new F/A-18C and enjoying it so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So what is your impression vs the existing product ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 B17 will be filled i guess You "guessed" a while back about a F-14 from "a favourite manufacturer" . Is this same sort to guess Raymond? :D :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to see 1/48 AW-139s and BK-117s since I work on them now. I'd like a Bell 429, but IMHO you don't get rich in the model business, and you get even less rich making Helicopters :D Edited May 15, 2016 by a4s4eva Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The Kinetic F/A-18C is looking very nice. Will get one soon. Hopefully, earlier versions will follow, sice I am interested to build a CF-188 and EF-18A. For the future, please do the 1:32 Mirage IIIE. The Italeri kit obviously will be no rival in terms of moulding quality, etc.. In 1:48, a Mirage F.1 series and MiG-23BN would be nice to replace the inaccurate kits from Kitty Hawk resp. Trumpeter.

Neo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 One thng i just noticed is that the rudders are molded on the tails, thats a shame going to have to cut them. But im really happy about the included folding wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 All feedback noted but pls let me have a holiday first ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 All feedback noted but pls let me have a holiday first ! Take it as a compliment, Raymond and proof of job well done :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marcinko Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 In 1:48, a Mirage F.1 series and MiG-23BN would be nice to replace the inaccurate kits from Kitty Hawk resp. Trumpeter. Whats wrong with that MiG-23 BN ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Whats wrong with that MiG-23 BN ? I think it's one of the better Trumpeter kits out there and the price is easy on the wallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Whats wrong with that MiG-23 BN ? There's a discussion on the front fuselage here. Cold War Studios is working on a correction set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlCZ Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Maybe have Sea Flanker more parts - but Flanker is more bigger as Hornet, no ? I think - a more Flankers (Early Su-27 Flanker, Su-27SM, Su-35S and Su-34 be nice :D ) YUP- and please Ka-50"Hokum", Ka-52 "Alligator", Mi-28 "Havoc" and - V-22 Osprey ! All in 1/48 scale ! And Jas-39 Gripen pleeease :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 There's a discussion on the front fuselage here. Cold War Studios is working on a correction set. Thanks for the link, I was thinking the rounded nose variant. That does look off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I was thinking the rounded nose variant. Yes. MiG-27M I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hyperscale has now reviewed this kit with lotsa photos. The surface detail looks nice; I still can't make up my mind (or maybe my eyes?) about the nose shape. But yet again, the main gear bay plumbing is symmetrical -why is impossible to tool this correctly in styrene? Taking Neo's point, the integrally moulded rudders also look good, but would need to be cut out and angled to depict most parked aircraft. That would destroy the lovely, fine hinge detail. I'm sure this is a fine kit, perhaps even a great one in parts, but the Ultimate Hornet in this scale has not yet arrived and I can't help thinking that some opportunities were missed here. Just my 10 English pennies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Thanks a great review, it looks amazing As soon has LM pops out a twin seater im grabbing some Great job Raymond and Kinetic Edited May 22, 2016 by Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shidenkai Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Raymond for making a lot of kits come true. I really wanted e.g. SuE, Sea Flanker, Harrier FRS. 1, Mirage III family, AMX, F-16 XL, T-45,Greyhound, Tracker, Hawkeye and so on............hopefully many more to come. So i have no problem letting him have a well deserved rest and holidays as i know to well how much you need them when you are working on full throttle for a long period. Be honest, how about your bought to build ratio?? mine is horrible T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks a great review, it looks amazing As soon has LM pops out a twin seater im grabbing some Great job Raymond and Kinetic There is an error in the review though: Mick states he is dissapointed there are only two closed nozzles as Hornets are often shut-down with one open and one closed. This isn't true, a fully serviceable Hornet will have two closed nozzles when shut-down. In my 8 years working on Hornet's, only once did I see one parked with an open nozzle, that was only because a ring was mechanically broken on the inside of the can. Only a broken jet will shut-down with one can open. He was thinking F-14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticWeapons Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Kinetic also left out the intake splitter brace... Hasegawa instructions (part K28): Kinetic: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Space Tiger Hobbes Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Would someone with knowledge render an assessment of the comment 2 pages back that the vertical stabs are the same height as the Monogram 18 kits, which are supposedly too short? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. If referring to my comment, I meant the revised Monogram F/A-18C kit which I thought Monogram had corrected in the early 1990s. It does not have the rounded off tails though, which the original (undersized) 1980s release did have. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
