Not half an hour ago, Raymond of Kinetic announced this baby over on ARC:

Mirage 2000D in 1/48! :wub:





Scale it down to 1/72 and I'll get a dozen!

Cheers,
Moritz

I'll have a 48th one but, like you guys, I'd take several in 72nd.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Can't wait for the 1/72 F-16I!!!  I've had a whiff planned for that bird since they unveiled it in real life.  I've never really liked the F-16 but there's something about this new version that looks so right.  I can't put my finger on it...

Probably a dumb question but does anyone make aftermarket engines for it in 1/72?  :wacko:

Scale it UP to man-scale (1:32) and I'll buy a dozen.    :thumbsup:

I'm not sure which of several bodily fluids you're referring to, but I'll let you keep that to yourself... :blink: :blink: :blink:

Lucky model are taking pre-orders for the 1/72nd F-16I Sufa, some nice pics here. http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=KI-K72001
This news via Cybermodeler. http://www.cybermodeler.com/index.shtml

Also kinetic are planning an MQ-9 Reaper armed drone (info via Matt Roberts over on Britmodeller http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11267&st=40&start=40 ). Not really into models of radio controlled planes myself but might get one of these for that rather nice pusher prop and other parts!

And only $30 shipped, WOW!!!!!!  That is friggin awesome for sure.  Making my whiffed Sufa will be all the more affordable now seeing as how I'll need two kits  :wacko:

I'd like to see them scaled down to 1/72, although Kinetic seem to be keeping firmly in 1/48.  It would be nice to have 1/72 UAV's that don't cost as much as the Platz/Italeri kits.
