Bozothenutter Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 I wonder if they will do a separate set of tanks/weapons like they did in 1/72. Would love to see a Sparkit seat, and maybe some Quinta/Kelik stuff for the cockpit. Ooh, and a Reskit exhaust! Eduard gear doors and assorted small details. Would the Renaissance canopy fit?
Bozothenutter Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 According to the comments on this post, there will be a pylons/stores set. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0itutUatqQZ5fTntEJM9U1vPpopu1hXMPCgw6djMMRMo4hpeqVL63gWYHY1AUKcRPl&id=100063693994097
Bozothenutter Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Sparkit is not planning on making a seat, citing lack of references. 😔

The MB Mk. 6 was installed on the Sa'ars sold by Israel to Honduras. The original seat is a Republic 10-100-7 built under license in France by Sud Aviation. 3

Bozothenutter Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 Anybody have the Renaissance PE sets, and compared them to the Fromm kit? It seems pretty basic/from another time, but stuff like the gear doors and plates for the wings look useful.

Bozothenutter Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 And obsessed as I am atm, Reskit will be doing stuff for it too! they already do for the 1/72 kit (a very nice tailpipe).
SharkOwl Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Renowned Israeli modeller Yoav Efrati offers us a 1/48 Frrom & Special Hobby model of the Super Mystère SMB.2 ''Early'' No.31 in Israeli livery, in the soon to be released October 2023 issue of British magazine SAM - Scale Aircraft Modeling. 😎 SharkOwl For 7 photos of this model click on the following facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/SAMScaleAircraftModelling/posts/pfbid0271bEAya92F82DhCX8VuEPJTX48PGVBp8eA8rFtSMxuhDb2hv2M83GH9eqk52q3Qql Edited August 30, 2023 by SharkOwl 2

GiampieroSilvestri Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Most probably Mirage IIIC as they had the same pylons and fuel tanks. Saluti Giampiero

They’re produced and ready. For whatever reasons 😉 Frrom (and Special Hobby) decided at the last minute not to include them with the current kit (likewise the green flash decal option) and release them as a separate kit (or release them in another version of the SMB2). Likely modeller Efrati got the not-yet released Israeli version from the manufacturer himself together with the wing stores for exposure on facebook. Just the usual marketing ploy of disguised publicity. Edited August 31, 2023 by quangster 2

They have shown the photos of the underwing stores sprues (and the decals for the green flash version) in one of their earlier newsletters. A typical case of faulty communication. 🙃 1
quangster Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 FYI the decals for the green flash version deleted from the current boxing from FRROM newsletter. I couldn’t find the underwing tanks sprue shot. Sorry
Bozothenutter Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Just asked Azur-Fromm... Very quick response, the gist of it below. The SMB2 sometimes flew without stores. They have no idea when the stores will be released, and I should ask Special Hobby..... A bit curt if you ask me.... Are we to assume from this Azur-Fromm are very much a minor partner in this project? 1
SharkOwl Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) By the way, Top Gun German Modeller Matthias Becker is presenting to us a beautifull 1/48 Special Hobby/Frrom Super Mystère SMB.2 coded 5-NJ of the ''Vendée'' Escadron at Orange-Caritat Air Base in the sixties ! The metallic paint rendition and weathering of this kit is near to reality ! 😎 SharkOwl 18 photos of this kit are presented right here on Brittmodeller's ''Ready For Inspection'' page : https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235129792-special-hobbyazur-new-148-super-mystère-b2/ Edited August 31, 2023 by SharkOwl
Bozothenutter Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 have a response from Special Hobby: "this kit was made for Azur Frrom, according to their specifications. We will release it under our own brand as well, with an additional sprue of small parts. The release is planned for this fall. It will be an Israeli version." curioser and curioser....
Laurent Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bozothenutter said: curioser and curioser.... Hardly IMHO. Project management, CAD design, tooling design and injection is SH business. SH has zero subject expertise while Azur has it. In other words Azur acts as a consultant so it doesn't decide anything but SH does. Same thing as in the Tarangus-SH Viggen. Edited September 1, 2023 by Laurent 2

Bozothenutter Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Found a small mistake in the kit (I think) There are two vents on the belly, behind the NACA ducts behing the main gear.... There should be only one. I've checked what meager resources I have, and cannot find double vents anywhere.
