    Beautiful John!

    Yes they did, I have photographs of SAAF F1AZ taking off for a mission into Angola carrying a belly tank and 4x Matra 155 rocket pods, one on each wing pylon and another with two under wing tanks and one Matra 155 under each wing. The rocket pods were natural metal with black area on front and later they were dark green with light blue/grey underneath. Here are a pair of SAAF F1AZs at low level carrying a natural metal belly tank and 4x Matra rocket pods each https://aviationhumor.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Mirage-F1-camo.jpeg Here is an SAAF F1CZ carrying a pair https://ar.pinterest.com/pin/542261611359038052/

    Im hearing that the new Wingnut Wings kit is the 1/32 Fokker Dr 1 Triplane

    Aside from the Silver / White scheme, SAAF C-160's only had one other scheme and that was overall wraparound dark earth/olive drab with the only exception being the fuselage underside which was in either dark sea grey or sometimes reported as PRU blue, I am not sure which is correct but here are two photos for you to decide, you can look at SAAF C-130's from the 1980's as well because they were in the same scheme and that might help you decide which is correct dark sea grey or PRU blue

    Very cool build and its great to see the unusual colour scheme
  8. gregair
    It looks beautiful

    Thanks, its amazing that no aftermarket details have been made for this kit......but then why no 1/48 Puma either!
  10. gregair
    Are there any detail sets availible for these kits, I dont seem to find any

    Beautiful, will it have the classic "Elephant ears" dust filters?

    Man, what a great and interesting topic!

    The top 3?

    gregair replied to Viking's topic in Aircraft WWI

    This is an excellent and very interesting thread. This poor fellow could be in the top three just for having to endure such a long name! Captain Andrew Frederick Weatherby Beauchamp-Proctor, VC, DSO, MC & Bar, DFC

    Hi Mach82, Both really beautiful builds, so nice to see, Impala is one of my all time favorite aircraft. I grew up on the Bluff in Durban and spent many hours sitting on the roof of our house watching the Imps flying around, I was really excited when 5 Sqd added the Mk2's to the Mk1's that they were already operating. And then there was the annual air combat camp every June/July when the Mirage squadrons and 85 air combat school (85 ACS Sabres too) sent aircraft to Durban. Great memories, here are some pics of 5 Sqd Imp Mk1 and Mk2 all taken at Durban air force base or over the city, I hope you guys don't mind the pics....I thought it would be good memories for Mach82

    Hi folks, I know that this is an old topic (yet fascinating to me), has there been any new findings regarding Nowotny's Me-262 White 8?
  18. gregair
    Wow Skyhunter66....those are both stunning!! I have a 1/48 Hasegawa kit in the wings, may I ask which Tamiya paints you used for the Italian scheme?
  19. gregair
    The tank in the pic is actually an Olifant Mk2 but thats close enough for me! Easiest way to tell Mk1B and Mk2 apart is that tall sighting system on top of the turret, other than that its minor visible details. I cannot wait for this kit to hit the shops whooo hooo

    I would "kill" for a few good quality 1/35 injection molded Ratels....Ratel 90, Command, 20 etc
  21. gregair
    I cant see the pics, anyone else having this problem?
  22. gregair
    Do these help?
  23. gregair
    Man I really hope that the 1/48 Super Mystere B2 arrives soon! Yes the other aircraft would be great in 1/48 too, Mystere II, IV, Mirage F1 and dare I say it.....Vautour!!!! But I guess that we can only hope at this stage.

    I believe that the bulge that you speak of is a different shape between the two aircraft If you look carefully you can see noticeably difference between the two aircraft here- This thread is about building the airfix kit, it gives a nice photo of the airfix "bulge" and of the correct shape for an FAA A-4P (A-4B) http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47356&start=40 Here someone built both Argentine versions in 1/48 http://hsfeatures.com/features04/a4cppds_1.htm

    Very nice! I particularly like the Jet Provost!
