There is this set, years ago from Scale Aircraft Modelling. Try posting on Wanted.

Airbrushed Revell59 sky. This model the final use for that tin.

Now the underside. Closed bomb-bay as there's noting in there. I've modified the radome to fit after painting. Flaps fitted retracted - and a numbering mistake on the instructions

Oh yesss. . .

Airframe assembled. I've been made aware of a need for nose ballast, so I've opened up the front, crammed in sheets of lead, and balanced it on my DIY rig.

Fuselage and wings assembled, then the tail surfaces.

For @bianfuxia, here's my build of the Hasegawa Phantom he's building. I remember this build well for VERY FRAGILE decals, that I was lucky to get onto the model.

I've just realised another. SAAF Mirage F1.

This is something, the like of which I've never seen before. A fully detailed interior - to wrap the fuselage around. From the front. Then from the rear.

Rejoining with this Revell 1/72 Gannet. This kit cost me £10 at Jet Age in 2020. This one to be built as Royal Navy 🇬🇧 Fleet Air Arm. Fuselage bits. Engraved surface detail - I like it! Wings And transparencies.

Revell 1/72 Lockheed F-104G Starfighter JG 32, at Twente for a weapons meet in 1976.

Undercarriage doors, lights, Sidewinders, and drop-tanks fitted. Which brings this build to completion.

Undercarriage. and up onto her legs. Just undercarriage doors, payload and other details left to go now.

Completion of decals, de-icers around the intakes - and matt coat overall.

The Italeri kit (well the Minesweeper version at least) has a spare canopy with the gun emplacement. However - with just 93 posts, ineligible to make a request on the BM Wanted forum.

A great model, very well prosecuted. Please take this in the spirit intended - but it might photo better over a grey surface, rather than white. I built a (old) Heller kit as an F1B two-seater, and now have a Special Hobby single-seater in my stash, to build in South African AF camo over the Mirage Grey.

Decals, Federal German Luftwaffe JG32. Nosecone painted and fitted, and the jet-pipe.

Spliter pattern masked, ready for airbrushing Humbrol 155 olive drab. Then demasked, and canopy framed, and viewed from underneath.

Masked, then airbrushed Humbrol 79 grey topside.

I've got this one, count me in. And this one vouched for Classic Airfix later this year.

Welcome back Tim! Good to have you aboard.

Airbrushed Humbrol 56 aluminium underside. Also the sprue with tailplane and undercarriage doors.

Forward fuselage assembled. I'll need to lower the floor slightly, for the seat to avoid the canopy. Fuselage sections mated into one. Airbrake parts are swapped, now they fit. Wings fitted, and from the underside. Counter the instructions, I've left off all the undercarriage parts, and the jetpipe - testing gives me confidence that they can be fitted after painting.

A tin of Humbrol 246 grey, on its last legs - used for the cockpit. Interestingly, this kit also has a downward firing seat - for my spares box.

Start day! I opened the bag for the first time today. And my camera's clock is 12hs forwards. However parts. This a kit that I built previously in 1995. That metal Canadian in the inspiration gallery. Kit decals for wraparound scheme. But I prefer the leftovers, for Splinter scheme. Bavaria here we come. Having built a Hasegawa Starfighter previously,
