La logique marketing de Kinetic des dernières années avec le choix de sujets permettant de nombreux reboitages d'un jet de combat produit sous diverses versions, supporte la thèses d'une famille de A-4B/C/E/F/G/H/K/L/M/N Skyhawks, avec en plus, les biplaces TA-4J et OA-4M et en bonus les A-4 Skyhawks de la patrouille des Blue Angels et même les A-4N Skyhawks paramilitaires de ''Top Aces'' basés à Wittmund en Allemagne.Henri92 a écrit : lun. 30 mai 2022 15:40 Bonjour
Oui ça sent le A-4. Kinetic a sorti tous les jets de la guerre des Malouines (Harrier Pucara Mirage….). Pour les 40 ans du conflit et face au désormais rare kit Hasegawa, il serait bien possible qu’ils nous proposent un A-4C argentin.
En plus le Skyhawk se décline en israélien dont kinetic est aussi coutumier.

V.P.Message from CEO – Raymond Chung
We started the modeling adventure back in 2008 – the first kit 1/48 F-84F, but most people know us when we launched the 48002 – 1/48 F-16A in 2009. It has been 13 years since we started this journey.
Unlike most modelling makers whose founder is a professional modeler, I didn’t have a clue how to make a model kit at that time. Not to mention all the unknowns ahead of me, I took over the Kinetic from the original founder when the company was proceeding the F-16 project.
We faced a lot of technical, financial and sales challenges, just like many modelling startups experienced. When we released the first F-16 (K48002) out of the assembly floor, we finally could take a break from those “difficulties”.
Of course, for those of you have our F-16 kit, you might be surprised with the content. A very detailed kit with tons of options, a lot of missiles and bombs - one of the iconic features of Kinetic. However, the F-16 nose became a real disappointment to many of our first time customers. I could not understand how the customers see the differences of F-16 kit. For me, the customer critics are like a crime scene investigation (CSI). We listened, we learnt from our customers – we retooled and corrected the nose mistake. We failed and we got it right. So, that is where Kinetic started from.
Our scale model market have many new startups in the last decade. Some still here, some gone. As such, it is not an easy job to maintain the company afloat as well as to gather more resources to improve. We invested to make better models, refining designs, using new knowledge and technologies to present the best solutions and quality in products.
For years, I have a wish to revisit our first iconic subject – F-16 series. We need to explore until we gain sufficient experiences and technical resources to achieve the standard of what customers really expected.
Now, after 6 years of hard working, with the help of our global team of contributors and supporters. We are proud to present our new generation tooling of 1/48 F-16 kit (Gold Series).
Kinetic Model 48100 - 1/48 scale - F-16A MLU NATO VIPER - *** COMPLETELY NEW TOOL***
The new F-16 aims to provide:
- Gold Series engineering
- Snap fit modelling experience – (no more sanding to fit)
- Accurate shape (with material from GD)
- MagFire (p) – the new standard in magnet interchangeable payload
- Decals by FCM Decals and printed by Cartograf for Belgium, Danish, Norwegian and Dutch Air Forces.
- BoxArt by Antonis Karydis
For details of the new F-16A kit (K48100), we will publish materials online.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all customers who support us throughout the years, bear our imperfect products, and yet expect us to do better for each new release. We will continue to offer more exciting products, just as this time, Kinetic Gold F-16 series to the market in return for your kind support for Kinetic.
For distribution, customers in North America may notice that we have our dedicated warehouses and offices in USA and Canada - Kinetic Model North America LLC and Kinetic Model Canada Inc. We now work with the wholesalers and retailers; improving our product accessibilities. You can now see more Kinetic products in your local stores.
By August 2022, customers in Australia will be supported by Kinetic Model Australia PTY Ltd. We aim to provide more stocking and services support there. Kinetic Model Latin America is still in process for some paperwork, hopefully we can start to serve the distribution in Latin America market next year.
We would like to express our gratitude to all partners, contributors and customers that along of these years helping Kinetic Model reach this point. Our new era become possible because we have you on our side.
May, 2022

c'est bien pour ça qu'ils ont choisi ce sujet... le succès est garanti si la maquette est à la hauteur des attentes même s'il existe déjà une multitude de F-16 au 1/48.tomcat a écrit : lun. 30 mai 2022 19:51 Effectivement, un poil déçu par ce choix mais ils vont en vendre des containers entiers...
ouais le problème c'est qu'on dit ça à chaque nouveau modèle et que le F1 ne sort pas....Yoyo a écrit : mar. 31 mai 2022 08:44 Déception, je suis
Mais ils font du business, le F-16 c’est vendeur…plus qu’un mirage F1, espérons que ça leur rapporte assez pour le financer

Si, à partir des boîtes de F-16C/D mais c’était pas encore ça. La forme était moins pélican mais encore assez fortement erronée…Raphaël a écrit : mar. 31 mai 2022 15:17Le moule n'avait pas été corrigé?Point-fixe a écrit : mar. 31 mai 2022 09:41 Une petite pensée pour ceux qui ont dans leur stock les vieux boitages Kientic avec le nez qui pendouille...()
Un moule ne se corrige pas, il se benne. Des pièces peuvent éventuellement être rajouté mais on ne peut pas modifier des pièces existantes.
