I think there was an idea that there would be a full resurrection but there is nothing on the horizon release wise so far.

Thanks. I put off buying them and now theres a few of them I want....

Going by the second hand prices on ebay I think a lot of people are in the same boat as you are.

 

Some of them go for shocking prices considering how so many people slagged them off as being unbuildable or just "unfinished" as kits go.

The only Kitty Hawk kit I built was their F-101A/C Voodoo, I could deal with the fitting issues, that's part of what modeling is, but the short shot fuselage really took the fun out of the sails! Ultimately, the kit hit its honeymoon limit and joined the container of doom.

Oh I did that one too. I did have the fit problems but no short shot parts.

Some day when I feel like flogging myself to atone for sins, I will break it out again and try to push through on it, really like the aircraft.

FWIW, someone in the loop posted that the Chinese IM plant made several changes to the way the kits were laid out on the sprues and changed the build design, against KH’s objections.  Ex: the T-6 Texan cowl was supposed to be one piece and not 4.

Its either that or flog yourself half to death on the Monogram kit 🙂 

I've built the Monogram kit twice, nowhere near the issues as the Kitty Hawk kit.

No I think the Monogram is a lot more basic than the Kitty hawk is so like you say there are nowhere near as many build issues.
