Kinetic F-104A/C?
Posted by Shipwreck on Tuesday, January 3, 2023 4:12 PM

I am interested in a F-104 with US markings. In 2021, Kinetic released kit #48096       F-104A/C USAF Starfighter in 1/48 scale. There is not a trace of it on their web sight andI have not been able to locate a build review on it. Does anyone know any thing about this kit; like, what is wrong with it? Thank you for your input!

Revell 1/96 USS Constitution - rigging

Kinetic 1/48 YF-104A 5+2957

Trumpeter 1/350 USS Hornet CV-8

The word on the street is that it is a very good kit.  I have read many reviews praising the lack of rivet detail on the wings, something the Hasegawa kit has in abundance.  The real thing had smooth wings, so as not to disrupt airflow.

I believe the general consensus is "Buy with confidence".
