PhantomPhreakII Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) HI, Just went to mo local hobbyshop and he asked me about a few kits I have on order. When I got back home I started looking for those kit sonloine, but can't find the Kinetic 48th scale Mirage 2000N .. So has it been discontinued?

madmanrick Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Lucky Models (who is related to Kinetic) has it listed as on backorder, so it is either discontinued or it is awaiting another production run. However, Spure Bros. lists as being in stock. Edited July 22, 2017 by madmanrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The Italeri Mirage 2000N is the Kinetic plastic. IIRC with a little different weapons. Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dear all As we are relocating our production plant from previous subcontractor to our own in house production facilities, we have been suspending some reproduction during the transition. All tooling just relocated and new injection facilities in place, let rock and roll ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some basic flaws in current Kinetic/Italeri Mirage 2000s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some basic flaws in current Kinetic/Italeri Mirage 2000s. I know Raymond has explained before that the Mirage 2000 (of which I am about to embark on a detailed build of the 2000D) as well as the F-16 series were the "1st generation" or "1st Phase" of Kinetic kits. My guess is that we will not see them re-tool the basics of the model with the exception of new decals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that it's at the new production plant, they will resume production of kits that have gone out of stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
