1/48 Kinetic Alpha Jet E - Egyptian Air Force - Cairo-Almaza Air Base 2010

Extras - Caracal decals (printed by Cartograf)
           - Pavla resin ejection seats
           - Reskit resin wheels

Not to bad a build, some issues with it, there are gaps between outer intake section and inner intake lip, this was pretty significant, the biggest one is instructions, typical Kinetic, vague diagrams, whole steps missing, (for example the engines magically appear attached in one step, yet they are not shown anywhere, so work it out yourself),  wrong sprue part call outs. I know this is an older kit from Kinetic, but I have done the new F-104J, and their instructions have not improved, don't know why they can't get on board like other manufacturers, I'd even pay more money for a kit with better instructions. I'd message them, but they don't answer me because we have had a run in already 

Camo is done with Mr. Hobby, International orange is MRP, Flory dark dirt wash, and final coat of 50/50 Mr. Color Semi gloss super clear/Flat clear.

This boxing I have has 2 kits in it, so decent value, and the Alpha Jet has so many AM decal options.
