  1. Airshow machines carrying smokewinders will have the 16S210 launchers fitted because the smokewinders are not compatible with the LAU-129. So Revell is right :-) Nowadays the 16S210 is still in use on the F-16A/AM because some airforces simply did not buy enough LAU-129s.....
  2. Indeed. Just a little disappointed the Qatari and two colourful French AF options on the 48th scale sheet have not made it onto the 1/72 sheet. Oh well, maybe Mirage F1 part 3 is in the works. Plenty of F1 schemes that have never found their way onto a decal sheet.....yet.
  3. I know it isn't, I only said it looked like a pylon. Thank you very much for the useful pictures!
  4. I've been doing some research as I want to build one of my 'simple kits' as an F1CT. It seems most parts for the CT/CR are there. The late (post-1992) CR/CT aircraft had the Matra Corail chaff/flare dispenser below the wingroot on both sides. This looks like a standard pylon, but I have yet to find a detailed picture of it. It is not included in the kit. It also doesn't have the absurdly large centerline tank but two of the smaller tanks.
  5. 垂直尾翼ラダーをロシア国旗の三色で塗り分けたロシア空軍の「赤72」を再現。 キットのパーツはICM社製をセットします。 This what the Hasegawa site says. I don't speak Japanese but it says 'ICM'....
  6. Eduard will release a 1/72 MiG-21 family, they've already announced that. But the project seems to have stalled somewhat and other projects have taken priority. Sadly, scaling down from their 1/48 range of MiG-21s means we won't see an F-13 or twoseater :-(
  7. I'm hoping Eduard will seperately release the Mi-24D specific parts so I can convert more Zvezda Vs into Ds. Or some kind of Overtrees Mi-24D to get the most of the Mi-24D decal options in the special boxing!
  8. As was the case with their 1/72 F-4 Phantom, this snap kit looks amazing.
  9. Nobody said you needed to build a boring grey C-17! There are options....
  10. I was hoping Revell would do one since they pumped out a few large 1/72 models in the past 10 years (Shack, A400M, C-160, C-54) but I'll gladly buy the Kinetic kit!
  11. Hannants has also announced a 1/72 Mirage F1B two seater decal sheet in their Xtradecal range. Most likely a scale down of their 1/48 sheet.
  12. Wow! Very modular so it won't be a real easy build but look at all the options. Can I have mine now please?
  13. Ecuador, Colombia and Sri Lanka use/used the Kfir C2/C7, so hoping AMK will include decals for these!
  14. Me neither. They said 'modern' transport plane :-) . Nevertheless happy with a CASA 212, lots of countries fly/flew it in a lot of different colour schemes.....
  15. That canopy looks really bad. Was it a fluke or standard for this kit?
  16. Yes, Soesterberg was CR code.
  17. The USAFE 32TFS at Soesterberg AB, Netherlands actually received F-15A/B models AFTER they got rid off their C/D Eagles in the early nineties......
  18. Kinetic should lay off the artist who produced the boxart though; compare the colour of the two warning triangles on the forward fuselage to the Hasegawa boxtop photo Impressive decalsheet!
