Does this one have wing-folds included?

I could see adding one to my stash, but I'd need to source USMC decals for it. I've got a Revell Intruder that I picked up in Okinawa, but really, is one Intruder enough? I say no.

Just noticed in the kit review images of the parts sprues that the kit comes with two complete gun tubes and muzzle brakes.  Nice!

Makes sense as the people behind Kinetic (and Skunkmodels Workshop) are also the people behind LuckyModel.  ;)

Whilst on a junket to Calgary, centre of the modelling Universe, I was lucky enough to see a preproduction sample of the F-5A in 1/48th, and man, it's niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

No real surprise given they already have B/D/N versions out, but I see the Kinetic are advertising a new 1/48 Mirage 2000C:

Canadian Army RG-31 boxing announced. Different turret and comms / EW from the initial US Army Mk III issued kit. I can say that Kinetic has had the input from a few pers who had 'intimate' access to the RL vehicle.

I was told by the owner of the nearest LMS I frequent, to expect a 1/72 injection C-17 from Kinetic.  This was after I was explaining to him my vacuform/resin (half Combat Models/half Anigrand) one I was about to start in the near future.
