I have been informed that the Hunter is a Kinetic kit, not Academy, but then I didn't know Kinetic did one...

Really looking forward for when this kit comes out, the 1/48 T-50, new RAF light fighter/trainer may be to replace the Hawk.  ;D

It's landed at Hannants !!

Bit pricey, £25.00 for a 1;48 kit that's a wee bit smaller than an F-16 !! - GREAT Whiffing potential tho'... Red Arrows anyone ??  :wacko:

If Hasegawa had done it 1/72 it would have been around £35.00 I'm sure.............  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Way too much like a Yawn Dart for me, I'm afraid.

Anyone know if the Lightning is happening?

Pass.

One hopes that it'd be better than the abortions Trumpeter released (in 32nd and 72) but on Academy's previous form, I doubt it.

Hannants have just got these in. Not a new model but a re-issue (new model number I think), however the price  of £5.99 looks very reasonable indeed for what you get in the box:

Here's Academy's 2015 catalogue: LINK!

1/72 new tool F-4J Phantom snap kit
1/72 new tool T-50 Golden Eagle snap kit
1/72 new tool AH-64D Apache

All lovely additions to the catalogue!  :party: The T-50 has loads of whiffery potential!
Pics of the F-4J at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (LINK!) seem to indicate that although it's a snap kit, it looks really nice.
Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
