Am I jumping the gun by wondering how this release will compare to Kitty Hawk’s offering? Pretty sure that was quite an improvement over Airfix’s original but given what they’ve been putting out as of late…

Kittyhawk might have had nicely fine moulding detail. which will be better than airfix. but i have read on various forums. And covered to death on Britmodeller. the kittyhawk was a nightmare to build with bad fitting parts. Zimi models have aquired kittyhawk. so their entire range may work its way back out again

Gotcha. I've had a copy of KH's GR.1/GR.3 in the stash, but it just hasn't progressed onto the build stack. I'm sure I will pick up a copy of this release as well. Damn OCD.

I would have been interested in the proposed 1/32nd Jag they were planning on releasing. But I think they were already in financial difficulty at that point. And never made it past cad renders

I've got the KH Jag in build atm and although I would say I'm a competent amateur modeller the KH Jag goes together OK.

Mike, are you not happy with the latest Airfix kits? I think they have done some fantastic work over the last 10 years.

Well the verdict is in. Most reviewers are saying this is the finest airfix tooling to date. And the scope of aftermarket accessories will only further improve an already spectacular kit. God help my wallet when I want 8 of these

Apart from all the flash on the undercarriage retraction jacks etc. a poorly fitting clear chisel nose piece, and no options to do flaps, slats and undercarriage up its an improvement. As for finest kit, well seeing as i paid for my kit and the reviewers probably got theirs for free, i'd say no..far from it.

I HAD the Kitty Hawk kit and did a trial fit and quickly rid it from my collection. The fit was so bad I then went through all of my other Kitty Hawk kits and most of them were dreadful fitting as well ... T-45 gone, Super Etendard gone, Dauphin gone, and F-35A gone. I almost got rid of 2 Su-17M4 but decided I could use them for spare parts for another kit - their fit stinks to high hell as well. It can be no surprise why Kittyhawk went out of production. Kinetic is probably just as bad.
