  1. My contribution to this group build and the first one at BM, there's a time for everything.

    It's the Mirage IV, not the only one in the field, in the most recent re box. 

    The decals from the kit are nicely printed and in register, however they will not be used. Instead I will be using Syhart's decals from a 2005 special retirement livery. So, if someone needs a set, I can supply...

    The Kit is nicely molded with exception of the nuke (which I won't use) and the pilots. I am considering a wheels up version so I need to think what to do with the pilots (improve or replace).

    Details are not super refined as in the older kits but still it looks like a nice kit. Probably the spine will need some support but let's see.

    Well, it finally worked, although I am not happy with the link showing underneath. Anyone knows how to avoid that?

     

    Anyhow, there's been some progress, pictures tonight.

  2. I had a look at the bottle and it is called Plastic Weld from E.M.A. Model Supplies: it is supposed to weld Styrene, Butyrate, ABS, Acrylic and Perspex.

    The safety warnings on label are impressive though but I am satisfied with it.

     

    Hope it helps (and no, I have no ties to the company).

     

    Cheers,

  3. Like you I have regularly problems with Tamiya thin. Some plastics just don't seem to react to it. I have switched to another solvent now (can't call it glue) which basically always work.

    I will post the name when I am back home.

    Love those Heller classic cars, looking forward to this build.
