Kinetic 1/48 T-45C: Why didn't I throw this kit against the wall?


Recommended Posts

Started this kit back in November 2018, thought it was going to be an easy OOB build....boy was I wrong.  Anyone who has built this kit knows the intakes are the worst...and the wing to fuselage join is just a PITA.  I struggled with this build all Winter, messing up some of the painting (hurried my masking and made the red a little too red).  Overall it's a 3 footer for the display case it will go in.  Honestly I don't recommend this kit.

Colin,  Great work!  I will be building one soon for my son in flight school.  Thanks for motivating me and showing the way.   R/ Dutch 

 

P.S. [After seeing the trouble of intake fit, I am debating purchasing Phase Hangar One resin replacements.]

Great job!

 

Built this one a couple of years ago....Probably one of THE worst kits I've ever built.

 

It is the only one on the scale though so you do not have much of a choice there.
