And another 1/48 Super Etendard


Recommended Posts

Sigh. And in the meantime no 1/48th new tool kit from the following French aircraft: MD.450 Ouragan, MD.454 MystÚre IV, AMD-BA Super MystÚre B2 (SMB2), SO.4050 Vautour, Mirage IV, SA.316 Alouette III, (Super) Puma, Cougar, SA.341/342 Gazelle, SA.321 Super Frelon, NH-90 TTH/NFH Caiman, Nord 2501 Noratlas, Br.1050 Alizé, Dassault MystÚre/Falcon 20 etc.

V.P.

I would like to see a new Mirage IV, but for the most part I don't see the demand for French aircraft and those that would sell have been done.

Prepare the saw and plastic card to fix the nose then...

Yeh, but still I'd rather prepare a saw 'n' plastic stock than say... a stick o' dynamite? :P

Whut's with Heller's SuE nose anyways, Monsieur Stern?

That KH box art is great. If it's up to their latest 32nd scale kit standard, I don't see any problems with this being a KH kit....

That's the funny thing, I think their 1/32 scale kits so far have been well done where as their 1/48 kits have been a mixed bag of mostly disappointment. I can overlook shape issues and such, but when the plastic itself is warped beyond my skills to fix or sometimes it won't stayed glued together using a variety of different methods I now take pause when buying KH kits. At the price they charge I find it inexcusable for trying to save a buck on the plastic they use.

Well it's innovative: it's the first parallel projection boxart I ever saw... nose on foreground looks small while fin on background looks big. Someone forgot to click on "Perspective projection" button before painting I believe. No need to mention inaccuracies.
