...So, we are getting a 1:48 AMX at last, thank you Kinetic.


http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=KI-K48026

With this excellent news, I thought (if it's OK by you guys), that I'd begin a sort 'repository' for any AMX ideas and suggestions in this one thread. I've looked all over the site here and found all sorts of references over the years, ranging from re-engining to 'when are we getting a kit ?' to what-should-have-beens and my personal favourite... Colour schemes.

So would anybody care to contribute some ideas, doesn't matter to me if we've seen them before, to the AMX International Ideas Vault ??

Over to you guys....

Ian.

some of folks here won't know me because I haven't been posting here for a while... I live (now) in New Zealand, that may be a clue to one of my planned/potential AMX builds

Who's this new guy?

Id be even happier if it was in the one true scale.




Good to see you showing the face around here again Ian ;D

I wonder how it would look in the Penske Trans Am racing paint scheme used on the AMX autos?

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

Swiss would be cool. Or Austrian, along with the Eurofighter?

Maybe ETPS like the Gripen, standard Italian camo with blue fin?

Private company, such as Draken International, ATAC, Top Aces etc.  Some funky aggressor schemes possible.
