Neither had I but, it's just another boring, grey jet so I think I will just move on by! 🤔😉

Only if that's the way you paint it! ;)
😂😂👍. Fair point! I very rarely paint ANY kit as it is supposed to be painted, especially boring grey ones!.
Maybe poor choice of words on my part. It's a boring,looks the same as the rest, MODERN grey jet! 😉😂

When did Academy start doing 72nd armour?  Noticed a Tiger at Uncle Frank's last week.

Quite a while ago, Lee. Some of the older stuff is quite interesting, and useful.

just in, within a few weeks, Academy will be releasing a 1/144 KF-5E Tiger II, this is a rebox of the Revell/Ace kit.

and more, there's a 1/144 Boeing P-8A Poseidon in the works  :mellow:

I have aquired the Academy's KF-21 kit. I think I will make a wiffie of it because it doesn't have decent decals but stickers! Awful!

Gondor

I have one of those too, I am planning to put USAF marking on it as it looks like a baby F-22

I've never heard of the KF-21, but it looks great, specially the 2-seater!  :thumbsup:

It's not that 'mini' though, maybe 2/3 the size and weight of an F-22, but they surely scale-o-rama'd the design!
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

According to hobbysearch Japan, Academy are releasing the AMK Kifir c2/C7 soon. Hopefully we will get the kit over here too, as the AMK Kfir's are a very nice Kit.

That's the same plastic as the kit I used to build my TinySHAR.
