Raymond Chung Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dear ARCers, We have just up and running the new Kinetic web site. Now, we are starting to load the emanual online. The first one is 1/48 Su-33 which many of you want to have it built. http://www.kineticmodel.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=64&search=48062 Some other product will follow up later.

Raymond Chung Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Sorry, link fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wow, you made completely new, much more readable instruction manual. Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 If kit is ordered today, will we get the new instructions in the box? Or will have to download it from Kinetic website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustiepal Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This is GREAT!!! This makes one of the best kits ever even better. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 We will release the document to assembly line for next production run. But we cannot assure which one you will get among the global retailer. So you can download save it for your personal use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 The first version of manual was done in 39 days with no support on graphics conversion. We have spend over 1 year to redesign the manual with input from consumer to make it more user friendly. Basically we change eveything from tooling injection and post production in 2017. The only thing we do not change is the brand as well as research approach and sales distribution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Auger Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Like the emanual PDF idea. New website looks promising. Sprue shots & PDF emanuals will help in marketing of your products. Although I realize that most sprue shots are available on your Lucky Model web-store. Would like to see an emanual PDF of your FRS.1 Sea Harrier #K48035 kit . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond, Any chance of any more Russian subjects in 1/48 scale? Brad Edited October 22, 2017 by B.Sin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Chung Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) What do you want and that it is not offered ? Edited October 22, 2017 by Raymond Chung Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 With your attention to detail and your commendable willingness to listen to your consumer, I can only wish if you can give us an accurate model of Su-22 single and two seat versions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Raymond, as far as I know (I am not fan of russian jets) there is lack of good model of any Su-25 in 1:48 scale. Regarding instruction manual: should we expect more of them? I wish to have new, improved and corrected manual for F/A-18C and Super Etendard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A Su-25 would be a good subject to produce. Also, while we are lauding Raymond, I have to give him some fantastic praise for the quick response and shipping of my replacement Mirage 2000D lower wing/fuselage. I received it in under 10 days after I dorked up my kit's piece trying to adjust anhedral. Thanks Raymond for the great customer service!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 You are lucky one, I have wrote to Kinetic about my cracked canopy of Su-33 kit and still have no response, since the July. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Raymond, I have wrote e-mail on 4th of July, sent picture of cracked canopy, received not any response until now. But ok, I think I can send it once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 How about two seater F-16XL? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I am so looking forward to building this kit! If the quality and detail matches this kit, I'd buy most any subject. An Accurate A-10C would be awesome, as well as the SU-30SM, etc. cheers, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 An accurate MiG-27 in 1/48 would be nice. There doesn't seem to be one on the horizon. I'd say we're due a modern tooling of the Su-7 in 1/48 as well. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 First, this is awesome news! I have this kit, and was a bit worried about building it due to all the bad reviews the instructions have been getting. Now I truly look forward to building this! Second, I have two of the kits, and both upper fuselage halves on mine had short shot holes. I requested replacements on the Lucky Model Kinetic part replacement page and got replacements in relatively short order. So I would recommend going that route for the best results.
