    Hi, I have an Airfix 1/48 Jaguar awaiting build as an Indian "IM", do any of you have an accurate drawing or a nice side profile photo of that "IM" nose?

    I totally agree, besides SADF/ SANDF, the Ratel used by various African Union countries and Morocco etc but I'm happy that the Rooikat is getting some injection molded plastic all the same, hopefully a Ratel will follow

    Was it something I said? Ok, the @"Mystere mystery " is solved, as per this site-( http://www.sky-high.co.il/134771/סער-84 ) Super Mystere B2 was sent to Israel for overhaul and once finished was painted in French cammo but was retained and used in Israel, there are two black and white photos. " It was one of a group of six Super Mystere aircraft of the French Air Force aircraft industry reached renovations from September to November 68. After the renovation planes were painted camouflage scheme of the French Air Force and were expected to reach Djibouti but remained in the country and transferred for use in the Air Force.

    Has anybody ever seen a photo of an IAF Mystere B2 in the boxart (French) cammo scheme? I really like it but I have never come across a photo or profile of that before

    Man that's looking good, you do not have too far to go, what green did you use?. I noticed on mine that the canopy is a good 1-1.5mm wider (in total) than the fuselage

    South African Airforce had a few Beaufighter squadrons operating overt the Balkans in WW2 as well but they wore pretty much standard RAF schemes and markings on their "Beau's without it seems the customary painting over the red on the roundels with orange as was standard SAAF practice. http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/296/216/0 ​

    Pretty much finished with this one...I made a lot of mistakes but learned a lot of leassons. Built straight out of the box, only added Tamiya tape seatbelts. Painted with the "newish" Humbrol RLM enamels straight out of the tin. Together with a Bf109G6/AS

    I am more or less done with the Tanzanian Shenyang F-6, the only problems that I had were with the fitting of the gunbay/nosewheel/intake area but that may have been due to my own clumsiness. It is the 1/48 Trumpeter Mig-19S/Shenyang F-6 built as the F-6 straight out of the box besides the decals. Painted with Humbrol enamels and the decals were custom made for me by "MavDecals" in South Africa, many thanks Zane.( http://mavdecals.co.za/ ) Sometime when in the mood I will weather it a little more and highlight some panel lines, dull down the semi gloss a bit but for now I am considering it done! Oh!!!....and add the antennae mast next to the cockpit that I see to have forgotton... These are how the colours actually look on the finished kit (first pic) , the colours are distorted a bit in the rest of the photo's of the finished kit.

    On the subject of the Mirage IIIC, lets not forget that the South African Air Force also operated the IIIC and flew it in combat in the 1970's and 80's wearing at least three basic cammo schemes. Natural metal, deep buff/olive drab and finally air superiority grey and a number of special schemes.

    Finally got some photos loaded into photobucket so here are some updates. I used a lot of glue in this area to ensure strong joints, the wings are not glued, they were just in place to help hold everything in the correct position. Before... After sanding, now to rescribe the lost detail I still have some cleaning up to do.
