Because it’s not true. There are comment mostly from people who just want a kit of X and have no idea of the real popularity or costs of making a model kit.

It attaches to one of the centerline pylons in the kit. Isn’t it shown as part of the painting instructions too? I think it’s the shorter centerline pylon shown as #17 in the step that shows all of the pylons

Isn’t the AUF-2 rack already in the kit? Parts H28 and H29 used in Step 66?

MiG-29 9-13 Vectored Nozzle Position at Startup/Idle?
Dave Williams replied to Curt B's topic in Jet Modeling
Mig-29 9-13s don’t have vectored exhausts. They are fixed in position. The nozzles only open and close. -
Anyone make a hard wing conversion for the 1/32 Revell F-4E kit?
Dave Williams replied to Scott Smith's topic in Jet Modeling
I doubt it, since the kit (assume we’re talking the new tool kit, not the ancient 70’s kit) had the hard wing in various boxings. The RF-4C/E boxings came with the hard wing, and the Academy Vietnam reboxing came with both wings. To be realistic, the only different kit parts are the outer panels and outboard slat parts. The inner wing was always the hard wing, with slat actuators that you glued onto the underside of the wing. For the hard wings kits, you simply left them off. Your best option may be to see if someone has the Academy kit and isn’t using the unslatted outer panel -

It’s a special tie-up with the release of the Duke Hawkins book on the Sea King. New Airfix kit with 3D printed parts and special decals to make one of the of the aircraft in the book. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2024/03/preview-sikorskywestland-sea-king-from.html#more I suspect this is a one-off, and there won’t be other versions.

I have the 1/32 set, but haven’t used it. However, it’s better than the old Isracast sets, plus all of his other stuff that I’ve gotten has been great. That said, your only other option is trying to find one of the old Isracast sets, which aren’t as quite as nice, and for the 1/48 versions, were made for the Hasegawa kits because the new Tamiya kits didn’t exist at the time. For decals, Isradecal. You haven’t said which scale, though. The 1/48 set is available, but the 1/32 set is OOP.

Not out yet, so not sure anyone can say much. I’ve only seen the CAD so far in this link. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2024/01/preview-mengs-148th-scale-f-35i-adir.html Other than coming with some Israeli weapons (Spice and Python), I don’t see anything special about it, or anything to make me want to get it over the Tamiya kit.

And they’re back.
