RiderFan Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Cool! Is that going to be resin or injection molded? What price range are we looking at? How many parts? Are you supplying markings? (DND photo, public domain) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A.C.Acikgoz Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 if it is in 48 scale, I'll buy tens of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Wonder if we can get Squadron to do a Walk Around for it, in time? Is that an S-2E? I have to admit knowing little about the differant types of Stoofs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PJFClifford Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Fantastic! Now we just need someone to put together some decals. Great news. (1/48 - I hope - I've got 4 Has 1/72s (I think) I've been sitting on for 10 years...). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Raymond, This is wonderful (and long awaited for us quarter scalers) news! The only question I have is will you also be doing the C-2 Trader and the E-1 Tracer? I know you'll be doing more than one version of the Stoof (assuming that your past practice holds true with this kit as well), so I am only "concerned" with the other versions. Congratulations though, Kinetic is rapidly becoming my "go-to" model company! Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Wonder if we can get Squadron to do a Walk Around for it, in time?Is that an S-2E? I have to admit knowing little about the differant types of Stoofs No this is an S-2A (S2F-1), based on the ECM DF pod on top of the fuselage and the short forward fuselage.

viper50 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 There are a LOT of paint schemes out there for this one. One of my faves. Don M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobs Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 NICE!!! My Dad flew Stoofs with VS-21 back in the day - would love to build one up in the appropiate markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Cool!Is that going to be resin or injection molded? What price range are we looking at? How many parts? Are you supplying markings? (DND photo, public domain) THATS the one I intend to do, and the retirement grey on grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brad-M Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The Canadian version differed from the US version, so don't hold your breath to make a RCN Tracker, unless you're going to convert yourself. The engine nacells were shorter and the radar on top of the cockpit we didn't have, which could be easily removed or not installed at all. Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom ordie Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 A Willy-Fudd would even be cooler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Somehow I have a feeling that Kinetic will accommodate multiple countries airframes as well as USN types. Think of the shear number of users let alone those who actually flew them off carriers. If at all possible I cannot picture them leaving that big of a chunk of the market to the aftermarket. Holland - carrier Canada - carrier Brazil - carrier Argentina - carrier Australia - carrier Taiwan USN - carrier Japan and I am sure I am leaving some out in Latin America and Asia (was it Thailand or South Korea....) And that is without looking at Wiki! Then you have firefighters and Turbo Trackers (Brazil). So perhaps it's not a huge market but it is one spread widely over the globe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
