Brenhen Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) One more project from a few months ago that I am just now posting. With all of the critiques of Kinetic kits, I must say that I really enjoyed building this kit and would like to build another in the Argentinian markings. The only real issue is the front windscreen being too narrow, requiring some work to blend it with the fuselage. Not a big job, just annoying. I used decals from Berna decals and scratch built the ladder and intake covers. Hope you enjoy Edited February 18, 2021 by Brenhen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juanchopancho Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That looks great! I want to build the Argentine Super Etendard also some day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Very nice one. I really like how You did the camo. I seem to be having a "french thing" nowadays, as I'm begining to like more and more of Dassault aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FASTEAGLE107 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Very nice paint job and weathering. Is the (Damocles?) pod included in the box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the compliment. No, the pod did not come in the kit. I used one from the spares box Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just call me Ray Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don't know what the critiques of the Kinetic kits are but it looks incredible. Was the FLIR pod part of the kit or did you did it up from the parts bin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dsgimenez Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Exellent work! I have this kit and I wonder how did you blend the front shield? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since I was going to have the canopy open, I just aligned it on one side and used filler on the other. By putting the canopy mask on first, I could sand the filler without damaging the glass and blend it in. It worked fine for the open canopy. If you wanted to have the canopy closed, it may lead to some misalignment. Good luck with your kit. It really is a great kit other than the windshield issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dsgimenez Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Perfect!! I do have this kit and I'LL Try to get it as similar as yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
