  1. The Monogram Promodeler kit F-102A, 1/48, brings these informaciones https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4j4-QVMtgM/?igsh=dTdjY3V4NHl5aXJn https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4j5WOZMM3d/?igsh=ZnlhN2c2YmJ3d24=
  2. For the 1/48 Gripen C/D, I recommend the Italeri kit offer in the "Best Choice" brand, now long OOP. It is the Italeri plastics with tons of AM details, resins, metals, etc... See it at https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/best/kit_best_jas-39c.shtml&ved=2ahUKEwjg7beV2_aEAxVWpZUCHe3KDYEQFnoECBoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1qARMkDVGzUhQ1Qkp46BKc https://www.instagram.com/stories/zybctba/3324421105216134526?igsh=bzVrMDd3eWpkZGY4 SouthViper
  3. SAAB has changed the wings on Gripens , very noticeable at flaps line. SouthViper
  4. No one pilot would choose to landing his A10 over rocks or jungle trees, but yes on plain desert sands, highways, beaches.
  5. The new 1/48 Revell Tornado is the better option. Over engineering I think. AIRES resins and PE, Black Dog, Eduard PE/resins/Look, Quinta Studio cockpits placards, Paragon (several resin sets, seats, exhauts, flaps, slats, wheels, eletronics devices and even the JP223, Pavla resins, Amur PE, Flyghtpath PE, Scale metal Pitot. What I really did not in this kit, why Revell made the front fuselage sides like a pyramidal shape, since Italeri and HB made that right and straight. SouthViper
  6. I really liked yours "as usual with me, no rigging" !
  7. "... Construction pics Decided that I was going to add some resin to this build so CMK's Bombay and Cockpit set was added. New and old Bomb bay comparison..." In fact modern resins are much better to accept more intrincated and details than the OLD plastic, yes, I know about injection molds, prices, so I really hope in near future, if Mr.Putin and "lula" allow this World to survive, we can have much more detailed and complete scale models. Well, may be "I was only dreaming" as the "Green green grass of home" sings, but I do believe in new technologies. SouthViper
  8. Well, very well done assembling job and Congratulations to you and to Airfix to making such remarkable engineering in this kit. My respects to you both, SouthViper

  10. Molak color ! How long time without hearing from that brand... Thanks for sharing SouthViper
  11. Fantastic building with excellent results . Congrats SouthViper
  12. I really like SCALE MODELS made as scale models. SouthViper
  13. Very fine working, The J7w1 Shinden reminds me the American XP-55 Ascender.
  14. Paramount building, Could you tell us what details do you used, or is it an right from the box building ? SouthViper
  15. Congrats for your kind work, I hope the plastic model industry make a New discovery in this niche - the cockpit detais . I just can imagine not only single place aircraft cockpits but also the Biplaces like F-14, F-4, F-15B/E, F-105/F-G, NA/AW-A10, F-5F, etc... Perhaps Airscale, Eduard, ResKit ? lets hope... SouthViper
  16. Davide, Your photo is very welcome as is your enlightening and timely text . Thank you very much. SouthViper
  17. I am working on the Revell"s 1/48 Tornado IDS, representing the italian Prototype (pre series) . I am using Resins for the jet exhaust engines petals and I would like to know what was the colour of the exhausts inside ? I know american jet fighters use some kind of ceramic on theirs engine petals (F-15, F-16, F-18), some colour that appears to be even white or light cream ? SouthViper
  18. Congratulations for this beautiful building and sincere comments about some aftermarket details/products . SouthViper
  19. First of all, sorry, I was not able to find a fórum about this subject regarding aircraft plastic models, so feel free to remove it to apropriate fórum. Counting on your kind good will. SouthViper
  20. Perhaps the most beautiful F6 Lightning I have ever seen... beautiful cockpit, IP, ej.seat, and fantastic painting job on the rear fuselage sections. It is paramount !! Thank you for sharing your fine work. SouthViper
  21. Deleted - read the pinned post
  22. Sorry hear about DIMITRI health. This World is falling apart, slowly but surely ... SouthViper
  23. The old ESCI had very different quality models talking on 1.48th ones. By Theirs 1986 catalogue they had a crude Tornado, F-104s, Corsair II D/E, Jaguar, and others surprises like MiG-23, MiG-27, FIAT G-91, Skyrayders, F-16 ,F-100D, F/A-18A Hornet and some NEW "recessed panels" kits like the Mirage F-1 and Aermacchi 326. As I love the Panavia Tornado , I would dare to say that the ESCI 1.48th offer was theirs worst kit . SouthViper
  24. absolutely splendid, very well painted with a great finish. Congratulations, very very fine work. SouthViper
