This is my first ever kit from Kinetic, I'm trying to catch up on the newer makers by trying them. Since it is only one kit I am withholding a final opinion on the brand, and this kit says "Gold" right there on the box, so maybe it is a cut above?
That said, this kit is really nice, I will not say it eclipses Tamiya, but it is really good so far.
I've only begun, and like 95+% of aircraft kits, one starts with the cockpit.
I hate to start with a negative, because I am impressed, but there are no decals for the IP, none. The detail of the molds are quite good, but my ability to paint 1/48 gauges is near zero. I attempted an artificial horizon, but the radar-scope has a clear orange that is invisible. I considered buying a 3D cockpit, but really want to build this one out of the box, as it came.
