1/72 J-22 Soko ORAO attack aircraft from new company LITAKI
Smudge replied to Litaki's topic in The Rumourmonger
Any two-seaters? Really happy with my single seater. -
I have this sheet, too. I've put an old Italeri AV-8B 'Super Harrier' kit to one side for this project. This one http://scalemates.com/kits/italeri-137-av-8b-super-harrier--143178 To use as a source of relevant parts, and combine with a ESCI GR.1 or AV-8A Googling for some info, I found this build on ARC which I think may be quite helpful http://aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal15/14301-14400/gal14351-AV-8B-Salerno/00.shtm It's a 1/48 project, but covers what's required (as far as I know ) Cheers.

1/72 J-22 Soko ORAO attack aircraft from new company LITAKI
Smudge replied to Litaki's topic in The Rumourmonger
That looks very nice. The seam line along the forward nose looks like it might need some work? Going for the early Yugoslavian option? I fancy that one myself, but it would be a shame not to use the lovely tail art decal. -
Polikarpov U-2 with sanitary capsules (ICM 1/72)
Smudge replied to AC87's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's interesting. I've seen the overwing medical pods. These are a new one on me. Anyhow, that's a very nice model, great work. Is the ICM kit very much different from the old KP one? Cheers. -
A pair of Cessnas - Khee-Kha & KP side by side
Smudge replied to CarLos's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
No worries. I know how that is. I've got a few on the go myself. Good luck with all your projects. -
A pair of Cessnas - Khee-Kha & KP side by side
Smudge replied to CarLos's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Hi @CarLos. I was very interested to see how you got on with this project. I have a couple of these KP 180/185's and I'm wondering how to go about building them. Did you get any further with this? -
Nice project. I've just picked up a couple of old Microscale decal sheets for Thuds (1/72). I'm big fan of the Vietnam era Thunderchief's. Did your dad's aircraft have a name or artwork?

Gloster E28/39 Pioneer, 1/72, Clear Prop Models
Smudge replied to SarmaT's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I've just read through your entire build from the first post. I must say that I am very impressed with your work. Your Mirage III is also wonderful. I just hope I can get close to achieving similar results myself. I also have the Pavla kit of the Pioneer, which I think I will stick with! This ClearProp kit looks great, but obviously not without some challenges. You have really done it justice. -

1/72 - Grumman E-1B Tracer by Clearprop Models - 3D renders
Smudge replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Sadly, I think you are probably right. Such a shame. For me personally this is/was their most exciting and interesting 'future project'. I have their Mohawk and Seasprite. Looking at their website I'd also be keen on the future Frogfoot, and DH. Comet. But the Tracer is the one I was really looking forward to.- 45 replies

1/72 - Grumman E-1B Tracer by Clearprop Models - 3D renders
Smudge replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
The Tracer is now showing (on Scalemates) as a future release for 2024. I don't know if there is any substance to this as an indication of a possible release, or just wishful thinking.........- 45 replies

@Steve McArthur bit harsh mate, just having a bit of banter about the F-35 generally. The point was that a lot of people like to chip in and be a bit negative about it. I did post a few comments about actual F-35 kits, any thoughts? Please don't keep going on about Tamiya F-16's and 'fat wing F-4's' Bit off topic 🙄 Banter: British for a light hearted chat (talk) Cheers.

Deleted the photo. I should know by now not to get involved in these sort of discussions. Hope I haven't upset too many people.
-
Err...............actually I've found a few more images, and those panel line tapes (what are they again ) are really quite prominently molded on. Which is a shame, and why I prefer the Hasegawa kit's use of decals to portray these. I just think they look more like the real thing, and more to 'scale'. Just my thoughts on that
-
I hadn't really noticed this kit. Found some images online and it does look very nice. Would have to shop abroad unfortunately, though. Which could prove costly.
-
They may well be doing one, but all I can find on Scalemates is a new mould/release A version.
-
It would be good if Hasegawa did a C version of their 1/72 F-35. I have their A and B kit's and they are my preferred option from the various manufacturers available. Only gripe is that the canopy is clear, and a tinted one would have been appreciated. I'm sure Hasegawa will do a C sooner or later. As noted above it is the future for the US Navy, and some colourful markings should help boost it's popularity. I do agree that it is rather annoying that we are still waiting.

Sword 1/72 photo recon Crusaders released in October 2023
Smudge replied to Middo's topic in The Rumourmonger
Nothing on their website about this. Can anyone shed any light on the possible future release? -
Very nice selection of markings there, @meindert. You have some other nice sheets, too. I'll have to drop you an email

Smudge replied to Enzo the Magnificent's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Good luck. I should think a masking set will be available shortly. This kit does look good. I will certainly be getting a couple. -
