Crazy Snap Captain Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Anyone got any updates on this? I've seen a few new CAD images floating around the webs but no release date except for vague references to the "end of 2018". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Collin said: Please release this kit, but for goodness sake have it fit better than your T-45C 1/48 kit. That thing is a bear and makes me think twice about building the KH 1/48 EA-6B (which has well documented problems) I have in the stash or any other KH kit for that matter. I enjoy building models, not fixing mismatched parts molded incorrectly. Collin Kittyhawk didn't release a T-45C or EA-6B, Kinetic did and they're two different companies.

Jonathan_Lotton Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I asked about this on their FB page, but they've got moderating turned on to prevent the anti-KH trolls from smearing them from SMCG. No posting or reply so far to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A facebook page run by Jim DiCeasare and Matt McDougal and a few others who take it upon themselves to "critique" peoples work. There was a situation a few years back where the circle jerk brain trust there decided Kitty Hawk was the worst of the worst after KH posted a meme that rustled their jimmies (it was mocking people who do nothing but complain when a company releases a new kit and isn't their cup of tea). They took that as the worst personal affront and declared war, sounded the trumpets and proceeded to begin to troll and mock KH everywhere they could on the net.

Mr Matt Foley Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Wow. Get a life huh? Thanks for the answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViperZero Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yes, I'm always hoping for this one, but I doubt the kit will be released later this year. So we hope that it will arrive soon in the first six months on 2019, both in the single-seater and two -seater versions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually SMCG is all about critique, and considering you're using terms like "circle jerk brain trust" shows where you're coming from. The group has always been all about modelers improving their work, and sometimes looking at online builds and critiquing them as well. there was one instance where a modeler on this website was unfairly mocked, and that situation was dealt with and that hasn't happened since. SMCG is one of the tightest moderated modeling pages online. And actually the nonsense Kitty Hawk threw out online about both of them stems from Matt McDougall having the temerity to build the KH 1/48 Su-17 online and point out its' build issues and poor engineering. For the American rep for Kitty Hawk to go after people online and go so far as to start a Facebook page dedicated to slamming them, well that's not very professional is it?

jgrease Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That's exactly right Trigger. It's all about plastic airplane models, and the very notion that Jonathan and others feel the need to denigrate other people just because of plastic model airplanes is pathetic. Even more pathetic is when someone who ostensibly represents a company starts a Facebook page just to name call others because they disagree with their opinion. What can I tell you?

The "Friends of Kitty Hawk" page wasn't started by anyone from Kitty Hawk whatsoever. SMCG actively bashed people left right and center and *anyone* who dared leak posts about said bashing was immediately banned. The only reason SMCG made contrition for bashing the build here is because they got caught on that one and had their dirty laundry exposed here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aw hell, I'm feeling generous..here ya go.. What can I say...SMCG did manage to get KH to shut off the ability of people to post things to their page without moderation.

Mr Matt Foley Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I did not mean to start this mess. I get the picture and if there is a Facebook Group who like to look at photos and critique them, that is their business just as much as those who may wish for their work to be critiqued. We critique kits here as well and for those of us who put the many hours of work into the KP Su-17 with additional resin et.al. I would still argue the Kitty Hawk sample would be more accurate and easier to work with. I digress....... I won't play with that group. But, I am still very interested in the Mirage 2000 in 1/32 scale. If Kitty Hawk put as much effort into it as they did the Su-34 it should be a good build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You know, when I used to be into 1/32 scale, I begged and begged for a decent Mirage kit. Now that I no longer do 1/32 scale kits, guess what? Mirage kits. Go figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
