vppelt68 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Alló, alló, listen carefully, because I will tell you this only once; I found the Heller 1:43 Peugeot 905 hidden deep in my attic and will try to build it in this GB, but I need to finish a Kittyhawk and a Macchi first. There should be plenty of time though (and these are the so often said, infamous last words). So see you (much) later, regards, V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi, I am really tempted to join this group build but I have to finish my Mig-17 for the LBAF GB first. Is anybody building a Corsair? If not then I would like to build an F4U-7 based in Algeria. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Paul, Thanks for posting these, I've selected my favourite of the Mirage 2000's, I just wish there was a decent kit of the type in 1/72nd. Love the Transall too with that patchy finish.

milktrip Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was wondering if the Heller super Puma exocet kit would be eligible or would this be considered a "what if" as I don't think the Aéronavale ever used it? I think the Brazilian and Chilean Navies used this variant of the super puma but I don't have any decals for these and would prefer to do the Aéronavale scheme.

Aaron, If it's this aircraft in this scheme and actual markings I would class it as a demonstrator and thus eligible http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/1/1/1/0992111.jpg Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thats the one Heller provide decals for F-WZJK (c/n 2001), although they don't have all the aérospatiale stencils thanks Wez *edit* Just done a quick search and F-WZJK was the first serial produced Super Puma AS-332. Helis.com has another photo of this aircraft; this photo and the one you linked to airliners.com don't have the Aéronavale roundel, the Heller kit does. I think using the roundel decals from heller may be considered "what if" but with out them would be okay. Not sure what to do about the "aérospatiale" stencils though... I'll figure something out. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Electric Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Mods... Is it worth starting a thread on colour references - especially with regards to common paint brands such as Tamiya, Humbrol etc? I've checked the IPMS Stockholm charts, and while they are good, there are gaps! For example the chamois interior colour - web references point to it as being everything from Humbrol 74 (linen) to 93 (sand). Some help would definitely be welcome - I have most of the Humbrol authentication range incidentally, but how helpful are they? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Chris, That seems a reasonable idea to me, feel free to start a thread in the references section. FWIW, on the French aircraft I worked on the shade of Chamois is closest to Hu93.

Richard E Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Possibly a case of not being able to see the wood for the trees, has anyone got any clear pictures or drawings of the Mirage 5's underwing pylons - I'm thinking about building a Belgian Mirage 5BA from the 1/72nd scale Heller kit but it only contains the underwing tanks.

milktrip Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 cheers Trevor. I like the idea of the demonstrator (being the first serial production too) but the Saudi one is appealing. I know they used the AS332F. Found some photos here, no exocet photos but some other ordinance in the photos, not sure what that is though? http://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/saudi/puma.html http://www.dstorm.eu/pictures/nose-arts/puma/saudi/716_1.jpg I have the zotz decals of the world (middle east) so will see if the sheet will cover me for the saudi option. cheers Aaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you won't find another done in that scheme. The ordnance on the top photo is a gun pod, 20mm I believe. Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
