Homebee Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Scaleworx is to release a 1/48th Aermacchi MB-326K Impala Mk.II resin detailing set for the ESCI/Italeri kit Source: https://www.facebook.com/scaleworx/photos/a.235132476686101.1073741852.212054182327264/401905406675473/?type=3&theater Quote Since the return of the ESCI/Italeri MB326K, the Impala Mk.2 conversion set is to be changed to a detail set for a more accurate SAAF Impala Mk.2. The set will include a resin ejection seat, bulkhead, nose wheel, cannon barrels, CHAFF/Flare dispensers, 2 x Mk.81LD bombs, 4 x Matra F2 rocket pods, correct wingtip tanks for a late version and a supplementary decal sheet. Here is a picture of the work in progress of the masters. V.P. Edited June 17, 2019 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerunner Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Some progress on the development of the set. Managed to not needing the entire wingtip tanks, but just converting them. Also added the vents at the rear of the gun pods, and resin replacements for the intake nacelles.Firstly, a comparison pic of the original Mk.2 conversion on the Mk.1 next to the new.Cheers, John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladerunner Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I worked myself silly the past 2 days to complete this detail set, and finally done the first castings today! The decals will be done soon and here a test shot of it. I'm also nearly done with the instruction sheet. And of course the box art Cheers, John Edited November 17, 2015 by Bladerunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
