Wez Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 So far, so good. Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey! In other words, slow progress but I like what I see, now if they'd only show us the sprue with the weapons on I would be truly happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Source: http://www.frrom.com/index.php?page=Accueil-2 Quote FR0035 Super Mystère B2 (1/72 nd) - test fit show we should slighty modify some internal parts - otherwise the fuselage would fit with some difficulties. Modifications will take one month, so release is postponed to Christmas 2018 (Update : 10 th of July). V.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeradej Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I notice a Thai style temple lower right corner of the boxart. Frrom site said "SMB2 n°110 (01/10) over Bangkok, February 1961, OTASE cruise". Any more story behind this? I know RAF Hunters at Chiang Mai or Ubon Aussie Sabre but French Super Mystere in Thailand or South East Asia is something new to me.

There's some details in the EM37 book, I'm away from my references right now and a translation will take me a few days but I'm sure I can provide the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) As Wez said earlier, where are the pylons and tanks, etc? You can see the holes in the wing under surfaces so they must be there somewhere. For me I hope there is a set of those large underwing 1,300 litre tanks. They look so classy carrying them (in my view) having THE book is okay but it makes me want to build 2... no, 3, no .... 4 ........ what a great machine Martin Edited August 29, 2018 by RidgeRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know RAF Hunters at Chiang Mai or Ubon Aussie Sabre but French Super Mystere in Thailand or South East Asia is something new to me. This is my summarised translation from one of the participating pilot's accounts (taken from the EM37 book). Basically Crosière OTASE was a detachment in support of SEATO with exercises in Thailand in 1961. The detachment was supported by Noratlas and used a number of Air France bases for en-route support. Setting off from Creil, there were stopovers at Ankara, Tehran, Bahrain, Karachi, New Delhi, Calcutta before arriving at Bankok. An opportunity was taken to rattle the shop-window's and the chandeliers of the presidential palace in Saigon whilst they were there. The 1300 litre tanks would obviously been appreciated on such a trip! Going through the EM37 book it's evident that Super Mystères suffered from nose undercarriage leg failures. There's also an interesting photo of a camouflaged jet equipped as a target tug with a winch pod and dart target both of which add a splash of colour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models shown depict a pair of aircraft that attained Syrian MiG-21 kills during the June 1967, Six Day War. The brown and blue scheme Super Mystere number 65 is painted as it appeared with a MiG kill marking soon after the war. J52 Skyhawk engined Super Mystere 34, renamed Sa’ar by the IAF, did not have a kill marking applied after being painted in War of Attrition desert scheme. All markings are made by Ra’anan Weiss of IsraDecals. A review of the new tooled Super Mystere and Sa’ar will appear in a future issue of Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine.
