Azur-FRROM replied and apologised for the mistake. They are looking into it to decide what can be done to correct it.
Thank you for taking the trouble to email them, maybe they could provide us with a corrected resin or plastic replacement ?
Let's hope so.
Regards Colin.

I am not sure what exactly structure is subject of your question.
Here is a big set of photos of R-31
Many details are seen there.
Looking at those photos I think I've noticed one problem.
The Kestrel engine drived propeller anticlockwise.
And in photo of sprues it looks clockwise
I hope there is still time for correction...

Hi J-W,
Oh dear ! One for the aftermarket guys I think, just a bit of shame, however I shall still go with the kit as it's the only IM plastic one available.
Could the gentleman be referring to the 'block' on the fuselage where the wing fits onto ? That's all I can think of ?
And I am still looking forward to getting this kit.
Best regards
Colin.

Hi J-W,
Thank you for posting the profiles of the Renard R.31 and the in the box profile, that will please me very much, I think this aircraft is just a stunning and elegant, I applaud Frrom Azur for their choice. I hope we can persuade them to produce the Fairey Fox in 1/72 as well. I know their is a resin kit of the Fairey Fox from Omega Resins but, unluckily for me I don't have a very good success rate with full resin kits.
Also grateful thanks to Homebee for posting details of Avions series of books we need for this model, my school boy French will be needed !

Hi Homebee,
Thank you for your updates to my original post on this subject.
I am delighted to see this kit and will be ordering a couple for sure.
I hope Frrom Azur go on to do 1/72 Fairey Foxes that we need to complete our Belgian Air Force collections.

Hi All,
Has this kit from Frrom Azur crept in under the radar ?
http://www.frrom.com/index.php?page=frrom-fr0039-2
If so, I am highly delighted to see it arrive, I will be order at least 2 of these.
And I hope I have posted the topic in the correct manner.
Best regards to you all

I hadn't seen this post before and I am delighted to see this variant approaching, you can put me down for one of these kits.
MikroMir have a habit of satisfying us hungry modellers, well done guys

A lovely build Sir
Will tempt me into building my kit, I purchased the issue thru the Airfix kit starter last year ? As the prices on ebay were a little high for me.
Regard Colin.

Hi Fulcrum,
Thanks for the information and link, I have found their ebay shop and signed up for news and hope I can get one when/if available.
Regards Colin.

Shame if it's sold out before I knew about it, as I would have been interested in the Singapore version, I hope they do another run.
Does anyone know of another source for this item ?
-
Interesting !
Think the wing fuel tanks ? Make it look different and in Coast Guard markings to.
This is one for me

I don't normally look at 1/48 scale kits as my passion is for 1/72 subjects, but, I am very glad I did !
This model looks superb and very different in Armada markings.
My congratulations to you Sir !
Regards Colin.

This model is just simply gorgeous and your post will influence me into buying an example of it.
Many thanks.

Hi Adey,
This thread is just wonderful and I have enjoyed very much reading your and other posts on this subject, it's a trip back thru time and pleasant childhood memories.
I once owned a FROG Herald with Malaysian decals mentioned above and it was a bagged item, I bought it at the Maidstone toy fair many years ago for about £18.00 if I remember correctly, later on I sold it on with a number of other kits from my stash, which grows and shrinks from time to time. I love the hobby very much and wish I still had that FROG Herald kit.
Very best wishes to you all,
Regards Colin.

Hi Martin,
Glad to hear and I look forward to seeing the MIG's in due course and thanks for the tip on the Humbrol 209.
Not much modelling happening hear due to continued health problems, I will be starting a twin engine plane on tomorrow hopefullly.
Regards Colin.

What a colourful and beautifully finished model, makes such a difference seeing one in camo, you can see that the addition of the Pavla ejector seat has made that difference.
My congratulations

Excellent Sabre Dog Sir !
Also beautifully finished and a different choice of decals chosen for your subject.
Very well done, more please !

Hi Martin,
An excellent and colourful addition to your collection, glad to see you still enjoy building Latin American subject
I find that the Humbrol Metalcote pain range is good to use and has good coverage (I paint by brush) and you have had success with the Humbrol 209 to, I learn't you need a white undercoat and thin layers to achieve a good result like your build (again using a brush).
More please.
Best regards
Colin.

Always pleased to see built up models of classic kits from modelers who are prepared to take up the challenge.
An excellent built and choice of decals
Best regards Colin.

Some Romanian PZL.23 had German MG 81Z mounted on back, if IBG really wants to cover literary every variant, maybe they add those.
Hi Botan,
Thank you for the information regarding the PZL.23, much appreciated and will help me make a more accurate model.
Best regards

Yes - the P.11f (and 75218 P.11b) have been never flown with Polish insignia.
On the other side you can also build the P.11a and P.11c wearing Romanian yellow crosses.
In total Romania (with 14 P.7s, 190 P.11s and 30 P.24s) was the second main user of the PZL "gullwings" (Poland had 151 P.7s, 201 P.11s and no P.24s at all).
Cheers
