  2. And Leonardo M-346 Master with the markings of the Nigerian Air Force will be very cool ! Nigeria just ordered 24 of them. The exact version of the M346 Master has not been revealed, but it might be possible that Nigeria ordered the dual role M346FA Fighter Attack version. To be followed.

  3. Thought of the day : The more we hear about the Special Hobby Mirage F-1 family of kits at 1/72, the more we think of the future Kinetic Mirage F-1 family of kits at 1/48 ! Sharkowl Quarter Scale Modeller
  4. The google traduction of this ''Ano, pracujeme na něm'' stands for : Yes, we are working on it ! One thing sure, this 1/48 scale Super Mystère SMB.2 will be a Special Hobby best seller. SharkOwl
  5. The 1/48 scale Kinetic Mirage F-1 already announced as a teaser a few years ago will certainly be a ''surprise release'', like the excellent 1/48 F-104G/TF-104G family of kits and reboxings. One thing sure, this Mirage F-1 will be a top best seller for Kinetic. SharkOwl
  6. I would say to you Mike that the entire international plastic model manufacturers + Special Interrest Group Modellers + Top Gun Modellers + Decals manufacturers + Resin parts manufacturers + etc... are all on facebook. You have no idea what you are missing not being on facebook. SharkOwl
  7. FYI Recently modernised Indian Air Force Mirage 2000HI fleet have now the medium grey radome. SharkOwl.
  8. Plus : ''Another highly attractive model will no doubt be the first of the 1/72 Mirage III/5 family !'' Another very good news indeed from Special Hobby ! SharkOwl
  9. LP Models: 1/48 scale acces ladder for the Revell Rafale C / M ! The craftsman of 3D printing ladders and accessories "LP Models" confirms to me this morning the plan to create an access ladder for the Revell 1/48 scale model of the Rafale C / M! Interesting. SharkOwl Facebook reference with my question and LP Models answer: https://www.facebook.com/lpmodels.eu/posts/249154813289864?comment_id=249155579956454&reply_comment_id=249156949956317&notif_id=1610451801621168&notif_t=feed_comment_reply&ref=notif
  10. For your information. Here is the comment I have left about this quite interesting reissued kit on the AFV Club facebook page : Thanks for this re issue AFV Club ! It could also be quite interesting for you to reissue your 1/48 F-5E Tiger II kit with the ADF antenna extended fin, with colors and markings for Morocco, Tunisia and Kenya. This ‘’rebox’’ could be titled ‘’African F-5E Tiger II’’ SharkOwl
  11. Take a look here Peter, it is quite detailed. SharkOwl Complete F-86 Sabre reference : https://finescale.com/~/media/files/pdf/online-extras/sabre/sabretable.pdf
  12. Do you have the address of ''Track 48'' ? Many thanks ! SharkOwl
  13. By the way, this morning I have posted this VIQ message on the Airfix facebook page : ''Here is the question that the entire worldwide quarter scale modellers community is asking about this quite interesting project : Will this 1/48 scale Canadair Sabre F.4 be followed by Canadair Sabre Mk.5 and Mk.6 versions ?'' If somebody already have the answer to this VIQ (very important question) please do not hesitate to share it with us. SharkOwl
  14. A very good news indeed. And on an historical note, what is the link between the F-5E, Yemen and Taiwan ? Yemen F-5E Tiger II have been flown by Taiwanese mercenaries ! SharkOwl
  15. Lets hope the 1/48 scale version to come later from Special Hobby will have two separate clear parts, enabling an ''open cockpit'' presentation of the kit. SharkOwl
  16. Meng has just embarked on a good development path for several years. In addition to this operational Block II single-seater Super Hornet, we can easily predict at Meng a family including : A single-seater '' Block II '' Super Hornet from the '' Blue Angels ''; A single-seater '' Block II '' Agressor Super Hornet ; An operational two-seater Block II Super Hornet; then: A single-seater '' Block III '' Super Hornet; and A two-seater '' Block III '' Super Hornet; ... with single-screen cockpits, conformal dorsal fuel tanks, dorsal laser detectors, semi stealth armaments pod under fuselage, etc ... Recall that in addition to Kuwait, with the firsts of 28 Block IIIs currently under production, one of which single-seater already in test flight, the Super Hornet Block III has all its chances in potential export contracts to Finland (64 aircrafts), Switzerland (40 aircrafts ) and Canada (88 aircrafts).

  17. Already available in USA on my side of the Atlantic Ocean without any problems ! SharkOwl Reference : https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/zkmk29829.htm
  18. Thank you very much Andrey ! I also see markings for Yak-130 of Laos on the lower right corner of the front decal sheet ! SharkOwl
  19. I am quite happy with the current Kinetic Model's new 1/48 kits and reboxing of older kits on the pipeline but I have a question : Any news about this 1/48 Kinetic Mirage F-1 project announced in august 2018 ? SharkOwl
  20. Cool. A super nice subject ! But ..... Is 1/72 scale (986 mm x 1159 mm) the right scale for a SF-260 kit ? Or Is 1/48 scale (1479 mm x 1739 mm) the right scale for a SF-260 kit ? Please Please ''Kovo'' and ''SH'' ! We also need a SF-260 familiy of kits at 1/48 scale. SharkOwl
  21. 1/48 Scale Pilatus PC-21 Here is a resin 1/48 scale ''desk model'' of the Pilatus PC-21now available (at 139 Euros) from Socatec with the colors of the French Armée De l'Air. http://www.socatec.aero/A-12676-maquette-pc-21-armee-de-l-air-resine-1-48e.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3SrKrS1S9XNQ__pz2u6ToZQh5tlHzmbjyfQSNVk7kB3ZXTLz9RajlBM-A This being said, do we need a detailed 1/48 Scale injection plastic kit of the Pilatus PC-21 ? The answer is : Absolutely YES ! With the current customers of the Pilatus PC-21 and future ones to come, the many colors schemes already presented are all quite interesting. Current Customers : Australia France Jordan Qatar Saudi Arabia Singapore Switzerland United Arab Emirates United KingDom / Empire Test Pilot School Future customers : Spain (confirmed) ; Sweden (most probable / promoted by Saab in Sweden) ; Lets wait and see ! Hobby Boss had a project about it few years ago but it seems to be on a dormant status for now. Hobby Boss ? Kinetic ? AMK ? Airfix ? Italeri ? Revell ? Etc ? Anyone please, you can do it ! It will be a best seller for sure ! SharkOwl
