    Yes, you're right, it is the 48884 Flaps set. A bit tricky assembly, but worth it Thank you for the comments!

    Trumpeter kit, Aires cockpit, Eduard Falcon missiles, Caracal markings, fündekals:) stencils - highly recommended! The stencil set really brings it to life Cheers from Czech rep. Andrew

    Built almost OOB, except of the modified front gear leg (which is moulded with an integral wheel and mudguard) and the custom 92nd FBS markings. Hope you enjoy. Cheers from Czech Rep. Andrew

    You're absolutely right, the kit realy is a pain in the ... It took ages just to prepare the main parts for glueing, i mean all the panel lines and rivets need to be rescribed, there are lot of flash, gaps and form imperfections. The shape of the nose is odd, it needs to be sanded, the diheral angle of the wings is too big, flaps and slats are just wrong, intakes are wrong, gear legs too long..and many more, you name it. ..Unfortunately it's the only game in town, as with most of the chinese kits I do believe the loadout is realistic, it's the typical recon mission configuration during Desert Storm (http://dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/mirage/france/33-cm_2.jpg) Thank you all for the comments!

    Finally finished it! Quite an awful kit which requires lots of extra work and some aftermarket goodies - Eduard PE's and Matra Magic II missiles, Master pitot tube, L'Arsenal resin Raphael SLAR pod and Colorado decals. But in the end it's a great looking jet Best regards from Czech and happy New Year to everyone. Andrew

    It would by much easier to attach each half of the nose cone to the fuselage first, but I've lost the attention there and did follow the instructions to the letter. Bad idea.. It's a mixture of Semi Matt Aluminium, Light Grey and White. Thanks for the comments! Andrew

    I'm quite happy with the resilt, although the Airfix kit can be pain in the (...) sometimes. But in the end it's a beautiful bird.. Cheers from Czech rep. Andrew

    Some say, we do not drink water in the Czech republic, only firewater. Maybe that is the reason? Thanks for the comments gentlemen!!

    I wanted to do something quick and easy, so here it is. The kit is a Trumpeter standard, nice fit and surface with many errors and simplifications, also the Eduard PE flaps are not a good idea - there's no room for the fuel tanks with the flaps open (but this could be my fault).. Anyway, thanks for looking. BR from Czech rep. Andrew

    The WIP thread is here: http://www.modelari.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1699. Czech language only, sorry Canopy framing comes with the Verlinden detail set. As for the UC door dishes, it is very easy, I made it of the plastic sheet heated up and formed around a ball of appropriate diameter.. Thanks for the comments! Andrew

    Thank you for your kind comments!! The Vark is painted with the Gunze C SEA colors - Green C309, Green C303 and Brown C310. As for the Pave Tack and bomb bay reference photos, there really isn't much to be found on the internet. For anyone who's interested I've uploaded my reference pics to Photobucket: http://s1142.photobucket.com/user/doggie242/library/Aardwark/ref. Most of the credit goes to Jim Rotramel! The WIP thread is here: http://www.modelari.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1699. Sorry, czech language only Thanks again!

    She's finally done! It took only 11 monthsIt's the ancient Academy kit, which I still believe is far more accurate in terms of the overall shape than the modern HobbyBoss one. Aftermarket goodies: Verlinden cockpit (modified according the F version) and AN/ALQ-131 Paragon flaps & slats FlightPath Pave Tack Master pitot tube Eduard GBU's, some of the photoetched details NorthStar wheels Afterburner decals Made of scratch: gear bays, bomb bay, doors, wheel legs, nozzles, Pave Tack cradle, blah blah...

    Thank you guys!! Here's the WIP thread (in czech language). Unfortunately not much there for i've been lazy to photograph this time You're right. I've never met a picture of Javelin on the ground with the airbrakes open. But the temptation was so high.. Gunze C330 / C331 / Alclad Semi Matt Alluminium Andrew

    Hi guys, for my next project I'm looking for the photos of the gear bays of the Bristol T.188. I've dowloaded hundreds of pics all over the internet, but found only few for the main gear bays and almost nothing for the front bay. Anyone help please? Thanks!! Andrew
  24. Exterminatus
    Thanks gentlemen! I think it's Trumpy's standard, nice fit and surface, lack of details and some very annoying shape issues.. Here are the Scimitar and Swift topics Cheers from Prague Andrew
