general melchett Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Great to see this one appear...hopefully a big improvement over the Mach 2 offering. How about a nice Leduc 021 and 022 to follow... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Callahan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Mikro-Mir has a pretty interesting set of works-in-progress. Any idea when the first of them will be released? And which retailers will be carrying them? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Mikro-Mir looks to truly be "eating the lunch of" Mach 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm liking this, I can feel a WHIF coming on... ...just when did the French introduce the Bleu scheme on their Mirages (something tells me early/mid 1970's)? Slap on a couple of Matra 530's from a Heller Crusader, perhaps a couple of Sidewinders for company, et Voila! I think I'll be getting one of these... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wez, And imagine it updated as if it were in service for a couple of decades. Plenty of extra bulges and conduit covers and antennas and such. Perhaps an inflight refueling boom tucked tight - but externally - on the fuselage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at what folks have done with the "Espadon" from the old "Blake & Mortimer" tales. The SX-2 Swordfish is depicted as having lasted in service well into the 1980s and has all the aforementioned bulges, bits and bumps to show for it. http://blake-jacobs-et-mortimer.over-blog.com/l-espadon-en-video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 There's some funky stuff there Madoc, I hadn't thought of going to those extremes but maybe now... ...link bookmarked, it will help with my French practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wez, You could also look at the differences between the first operational F-16A in 1979 and what the F-16E/F Block 60s that are flying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't thinking of going that far,I was thinking for instance of the changes made to the EE Lightning to make it a viable operational aircraft, maybe I need to think more laterally...

Wez, That might be more "time appropriate" since they both were flying at about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been toying with the idea for some time....mind you this would be rather nice and along the same lines, Heinkel 231-3 Quote I hope they do the Nord 1500 Griffon, the world's fastest-looking penguin. Must agree Edward.....still got the 1/48 and 1/72nd FM ones to finish, a magnificent looking aircraft. Back to the Trident and there were two options built, the original SO-9000 Trident with it's lower undercarriage, detachable nose and triple exhaust layout of the SEPR 481 triple chamber motor, (the early aircraft used a couple of wingtip mounted Marabore jet engines soon to be replaced by the more powerful Vipers hence the different nacelle shapes). Trident 1 Trident 1 And the taller legged, (to allow for missile carriage) SO-9050 Trident II with redesigned gear doors, ejection seat and twin exhausts of the SEPR 631 twin chamber rocket engine Trident II Trident II engine test Also how about adding a dummy MATRA , (possibly early R-511). Trident II with Matra fitted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
