  1. Always wanted to have a Martin WH-2(export B-10) of the ML-KNIL. Unfortunately no decent kit is available in my preferred scale 1/48 so I chose the Azur-Frrom 1/72 kit. The kit needs some extra work but not as much as the previous kits of Azur-Frrom I believe, the cooperation with Special Hobby is noticeable. The kit comes with NL decals but with triangles for a camouflaged one, I used Dutch Decal set DD72098 to make a "yellow wing" out of it, as was the delivery colour in 1938. Oh and, I almost don't dare say it but I liked building a 1/72 modelšŸ™Š https://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mate.php?id=14213&p=albums&album=75532 Erik
  2. Meteor T.Mk7 (FR0045) 1:72 Azur FRROM The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' first operational jet aircraft during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft itself began in 1940, although work on the engines had been underway since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. Nicknamed the "Meatbox", the Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in terms of its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter. Several major variants of the Meteor incorporated technological advances during the 1940s and 1950s. Thousands of Meteors were built to fly with the RAF and other air forces and remained in use for several decades. The Meteor saw limited action in the Second World War. Meteors of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) provided a significant contribution in the Korean War. Several other operators such as Argentina, Egypt and Israel flew Meteors in later regional conflicts. Specialised variants of the Meteor were developed for use in photo-reconnaissance and as night fighters. The T.7 twin seat trainer was developed from the Mark 4. 640were produced for the Royal Air Force, 43 for the Royal Navy; and 72 for export. 20 Belgian F.4s were modified locally into T.7s. Many nations would operate the T.7 with a pair of T.7s being the first jet aircraft to land in Israel. These were locally converted to carry belly mounted camera. The Kit This is a re-release by Azur Frrom of the MPM kit. This now includes masks (not shown) for the heavily framed canopy. The masks look to be the same as the new tape masks from Special Hobby. Construction first begins in the cockpit which builds up to a complete module that slots into the fuselage when built up. The centre bulkhead is added to the floor and then side consoles are added. The centre instrument console is then built up and installed along with both seats. The rear bulkhead goes on, and both control columns. To the underside of this module the nose gear well is then added. This assembly can then go into the right fuselage. The pilots instrument panel then goes in as do the remainder of the side consoles. The fuselage can then be closed up with the nose gear now being fitted. Construction now moves onto the wings. Firstly the engines and jet pipes need to be assembled. There is a basic representative of the Derwent which you will see the front face of through the intake. Behind this there is the jet pipe, and exhaust. These go into the one part lower wing. In front of the engines goes the fairing over the front wing spar which is seen through the intake. Single part intake inners are then fitted. Moving on the the upper wing the main gear wells need to go in. The two wing sections can then be joined. The intake leading edges, and exhaust trailing edges are then fitted. The fuselage can now be joined to the wings. At the rear the tail planes then go on. The main gear units are then assembled and added along with their retraction struts and the main gear doors. Like the real units these are complicated and care need to get them right. Take note to assemble the wheels correctly and not as per the instructions. The wheels are not handed like most aircraft. Luckily here the wheels are separate from the mud guards so they can be put in the correct way around. The modeller will need to make their own stay from the rear of the mudguard. To finish off the wing and belly tanks are fitted followed by the canopy, aerial and pitot tube. Markings The glossy decal sheet is printed in house and looks sharp and in register. There are markings for four aircraft Nr 9, coded 30-MY, Escadrille 2/30 "Camargue", Tours 1956 ED-42, Ecale de Chasse de Coxyde, Belgium, 1958 Black 15 with Suez / Operation Kadesh stripes, Israel 1957 Conclusion It is good to see the T7 back out there. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of

  5. In a moment of weakness or madness or both, I sent off for this, the Azur-Frrom 1/72nd Mystere IVA for my 2nd build for this GB. The kit comes with a number of attractive schemes in the box but being my usual contrary self, I'll be using Model-Art 72-012 to model No.117 7-AN from E.C.1/7 "Provence" based at Nancy-Ochey in 1971. From comments made by Antoine, I know there are some accuracy issues with the kit and having found this web site http://aera-kit.forumpro.fr/t3649-mystere-iv-a-azur-1-72-maj-22-12-fin I can see there are many, but, I won't be correcting them (sorry, but if I go down that road I'll never get it built). I had a few questions for our Mystere experts in the chat thread and thanks to Paul for letting me know the change-over point for the seats (from SNCASO to MB), was 1967 but... ...this kit has two sets of tailplanes, one looks to be for an all moving (slab) tailplane, the other is a conventional tailplane with elevators - what was the cut-over point? Secondly, the shell collectors for the cannons, what's the deciding factor whether small or large collectors are fitted, is it linked to serial number or is it linked to time frame. If it's serial number what is the changeover point, if it's a time frame thing when, when, WHEN? Finally, it has been mentioned that the kit represents a particular engine fit, which is it - Hispano Suiza Verdon or Tay? All I need to do now is find some time to make a start! Wez
