Sorry for being non understandable.
And thanks for the feedback.
-
I need YOUR advice!!!
In fact, I just like to know what you think about this kit!

Hello Sivcev, any advice on the U-212???

Xtracrylix
in Paint
I've no experience with Xtracrylics, but this range seems unavoidable if I want to paint camo from Brits origin in the future.
Are there any shortcomings?
Is it possible to mix it with some Klir, as I does with most other acrylic paints?
-
I mix it straight in the airbrush, but I always add the thinner first. That way I don't get any thick spittery spattery bits of paint coming through when I first pull the trigger.
I always do it by eye, add thinner with a dripper thing, and then add paint with a cocktail stick.
Jen.
Same here, but I add the paint also with a dripper (Not sure about the right word).
And then mix with a cocktail stick.
After applying paint, I always spray a few drop of thinner alone, without cleanning the airbrush after each color.

Keep up the good work, Dave.
Bon courage.

Thanks Bex, that's exactly the man they talk about.

From the last issue of the French aviation magazine Le Fana, a private SHAR F/A2 owned by an ex Marines pilot, made its first flight in the USA on 10th November.
Sorry, couldn't find anything about that on the net.

Thanks a lot, mate!

Hum....
Well....
About the old camo,
MA say:
Dark sea gray => Xtracrylic XA1004
Dark green => Xtracrylic XA1001
Light aircraft grey => XA1015
What about the equivalent in other acrylic ranges, like Tamiya or Mr Color?
-
Does anyone got some pics of a GR1 pit, or of an International Jaguar pit?
-
-
According to Verlinden's Lock On, the Mirage was equipped at first with a MB mk 4, and then a MB mk10
-
Thanks for the update, Dave.
About Cromwell, I thought at first that it was a complete kit.
-
You can try Spinners for their Cheetah conversion kit (see Linden Hill's website - they may have some left as John has stopped producing and they are sold out pretty much everywhere else)
Sad to hear that.
Can you confirm?
-
Like it! I have the BaxMod Ratel 20, Casspir and Buffel in 1/35 in my stash as well as an Azmiut Eland 90 and a conversion kit for a Centurion to the Olifant 1B..... Was thinking of doing some sort of Cuito Cuanavale diorama. But then I have those Cheetahs etc to do too...
What can you tell us about the Olifant conversion?
Baxmod web page don't tell much about it.
I'd love to build one, but I've heard about a new kit from Cromwell due soon, so I'll have to choose.
-
Great news.
Any link?
-
Thanks mate.
I wasn't considering Magics as a real option for the load - more likely it would be AS-30Ls, ATLIS II and some ECM stuff.
Then everyting is is the Italeri's box: AS30L, ATLIS designation pod, Barax and Barracuda ECM pods, and they all looks great, with the good shape. There is also a Magic II, but it is ugly and useless.
-
Check there, Fred, just in case.
-
Yes, Martin.
With that kit, in fact, and with little modifications (I'm not 100% sure, but others can confirm this for the GR3), you can make every single seater jaguar, appart from the Indian IM, where the nose is different.
The only thing is, if you want an armed Jaguar A, to get another kit (Italeri two seater Jaguar for an AS30L and ATLIS pod), as there are only the 2 Magic that suits a French aircraft in the haseg box. And there are very very few pics of Jaguar A with magics...

I've started to work on this project this afternoon, but I've got a real problem:
My Canon Powershot is out of service for the moment, and I'm going to send it back to them so that they can sort things out.
But for the moment, the only solution I've got is to use my cellular phone to take some pics.
I don't have to tell you that those are too bad when I try to get some small details, so it is not a real solution.
I only hope that I'll get my Powershot back not too late.
So here's the ugliest pic that I've ever taken:
Then:
Kit =>Hasegawa GR1/A 1/72
Aftermarket =>
- Airwaves MB mk9 seat
- Eduard photo etched for ... Jaguar A! (Nevermind)
- Model alliance decal sheet International Selection.
- Wing tanks from Italeri Jaguar E.
I'll drop the airwaves bang seat, as the Eduard photoetched provide enough to make the seat look quiet real, and keep it for another jag (the Italeri two seater).
So far the seat is ready for painting, as the pit himself.
I just need to "googlease" a little to find a photo from the cockpit's sides, so that I can make them look a little better.

Maybe the The Rhodesian Forces
Web Site will help.

So it was you!!!
Well done, Fred!

Love the 406 in Finnish colours.
Good looking pit.
