Kinetics Kits?

[John Howling Mouse]

Have my eye on their 1:48 F-84F.  Had thought it was a reboxing of the old Monogram kit but, from the close-up pics of the sprues, I'd say I was wrong.  Very impressive engraved surface detail throughout.

I'll check the usual review sites but was wondering meanwhile: Has anyone here built one or seen one in the flesh?

I've also only seen the pics on Luck Model but they do look good

[Jennings]

I don't think anybody has built one because to my knowledge,  none of them has been released yet.  Kinetic is a brand new outfit.  The F-84 looks okay, but those Matchbox-esque trenches - ouch!

Ciao from Milano!  Off to Prague tomorrow!
