Homebee Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) So French. Next ones: injected plastic SNCASO S.O. 4050 Vautour II and Dassault MD.454 Mystère IV kits please. In 1/48th scale of course. V.P. Edited June 28, 2023 by Homebee 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the first edition comes without the Sa'ar sprue. That will mean buying two — whoops! Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilles_53 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Some bad news, some good news ... Release date confirmed, July in Prague, work started on the decals. But we had to drop a scheme (Green one), so we go only for Blue (10-SB) and Red (5-NJ). The intended decal would have been too big (and raised the cost) so we had to make a choice. And, but this was clearly visible in the sprues layout, no external tanks, bombs, etc. Probably some masks will appear soon for the canopy (not in the kit) Edited June 14, 2023 by Gilles_53 Light improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that Berna Decals could eventually propose for us a specific decal sheet including the EC 02/12 ‘’Cornouaille’’ Cambrai ‘’12-ZH’’ with green flashes that you have to put aside for reasons of economy ? 😎 SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I am sure there will be plenty of aftermarket product available for this kit, particularly decal options. I am looking forward to this. One question I have: Where the lower wing piece mates with the lower fuselage, are any of these seams along panel line or will the joints need to be filled and sanded. I just don't have the research myself at this point to determine this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't have the research myself at this point to determine this. Half-and-half, but the design preserves the rectangular panels on the centreline. I usually use a fair bit of filler around airbrakes anyway, so it will all be part of the same joyful emery therapy session. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Wow, <£33 in Poland. Bet it'll be a tad more by the time it touches down here, but I can most definitely see both this and the Sa'ar in my crystal procurement ball. Remember seeing the L'AdA camouflaged ones lined-up at the Bordeaux-Merignac facility in 1974. Quite a nostalgic subject. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Great to see the packing getting along. I hope the staff keep hydrated in the heatwave Europe is melting under. I'd rather be kept informed of issues than have no news and assume things are still on track when they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
