Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi all - so the nice weather meant I could take pics at last. The build thread is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234952467-fonderie-miniature-148th-dassault-super-mystere-b2-le-petit-sabre-francais-finished/ Finished as 154/ 12-ZJ or EC2/12 "Cornouailles" based at Cambrai 1971. painted with Tamiya acrylics, Decals from Berna sheet 48-76 with the odd bit from Isra decal's sheet. I'm dedicating this build to my friend, Rowan Broadbent- whose donation of his unmade model finally allowed me to build a Super Mystere in 1/48th. Cheers Mr B!! Hope you like her.

Rowan Broadbent Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just bliddy marvelous, Jonners, lovely paintwork and marking scheme. You really are turning out some cracking models.

Snitok1983 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Mmmmmm! I am love it! It is an exellent build and paint work! Let me ask you a question: what do you thing about quality of the kit ( I am meaning fitting, mould, detalization e.t.c) I have never saw this bird in 48-th scale... And after your post I am eager to have this kit at my desk! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim T Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Another stunner Jonners. Proof positive that FM kits are not 'Unbuildable'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Glad you like it old chap, 'cus a Super Mystere can't live in Oxford - it needs to live 'en France' - so I'm going to build a little cocoon for it so you can carry it back to Brittany when we next meet. No complaining I wont have it. PS - its your turn to call Mmmmmm! I am love it! It is an exellent build and paint work! Let me ask you a question: what do you thing about quality of the kit ( I am meaning fitting, mould, detalization e.t.c) I have never saw this bird in 48-th scale... And after your post I am eager to have this kit at my desk! Thanks! Hi - actually its fits pretty well, but you need to know its NOT in any way like a Tamiya or Hasegawa model. The parts are pretty detailed, and engraved panel lines help, but you WILL use filler and you WILL need to "square up" parts first. The Mystere is one of FM's better models id say - like their Tiger and Cougar. If you want to add more detail - then Renaissance Models have lots of bits http://www.renaissance-models.com/ter/index.php/avions-toutes-echelles/echelle-1-48 If you want one - then Ebay is your best bet ( Rowan, alas doesnt have any more to give away!! - I wont mention the Vautour - oh merde i mentioned the Vautour) Cheers - and thanks to everyone for their kind comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcococca Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Jonners, was the WIP thread already extremely impressive, the finished model is magnificent. I once built a model of FM, it was the Kingcobra of the Armee de l`Air in Indochine, and I can understand very well all the work that you had with this shortrun. You can be very proud because this is a gorgeous unique piece in your private museum. Chapeau! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
