Kitty Hawk Super Etendard SEM 1:48 – build review


Feature Article with Andy Frill

Just before we get started, here’s a quick look at how it all turned out…

While at the 2016 IPMS USA Nationals in Columbia South Carolina. I happened to come across the (at the time) new Kitty Hawk 1:48 Super Etendard SEM on one of the vendor tables. While the Kinetic kit had been released, I chose to go ahead and get and build the Kitty Hawk kit.

When I opened the box I was impressed with the amount of sprues you got for your money. Kitty Hawk includes every piece of ordinance used by the French and even included a buddy refuelling pod!

I painted the cockpit in Tamiya NATO Black XF-69 and dry brushed it with XF-63 German Gray. I then put a coat of Tamiya clear gloss X-22 and applied the kit supplied decals for the cockpit Instrument panel and side consoles.
