petr@SpecialHobby Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 SIAI Marchetti SF.260 - new 72nd and 48th scale kits announcement on our blog, guys: https://www.specialhobby.info/2020/09/siai-marchetti-sf260-new-148-and-172.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Quote (...) The first of the kits is expected on the shop shelves by the end of the year at the latest.(...) In 1/48th scale ! And waiting now your 1/48th Dassault Super Mystère B-2 (SMB-2) and North American F-86H Sabre Hog... Take care with the SF.260 canopies (whatever the scale!). They are of two main types. The original one and a new bulged one designed to accommodate big pilots. V.P.

petr@SpecialHobby Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Patrice, the Mirage moulding tools are in the making now, bear with us please. We have got one top secret project to release before them now, I hope to be able to show some tooling photos later this year. The thing is that the metal moulds do not materialize overnight. Sorry for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Looks sleeker gear up, isn't it ? 😎 Image "photoshopped" by me. Though I confess being only interested in the 1/48th kit. The original picture is from the now retired Belgian Air Force Kolonel Vlieger Peter “Patja” Stams http://www.belgian-wings.be/webpages/navigator/photos/milltarypics/patja_pictures/patja_photopage.htm https://stams.be/index.php V.P.

petr@SpecialHobby Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Patrice, I am sure we will be able to give you and all other modelling folk some good Mirage news before the year ends.

Are the Czech manufacturers serious ? Furthermore I dislike the idea I've to read the KP/AZ advertisements (Bf.109, GB.II, SF.260...) to imagine the future SH kits programme. Come on SH, what are you smoking? I hate Awfulschmitt 109 whatever the scale or the version. Fortunately the SH pipeline is richer than this new Emil offer and the qualitative evolution from the SH kits throughout the recent years is quite impressive. Anyway I really like the 1/48th BAe Harrier T.Mk.12 conversion set. https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/1-48-harrier-t-mk-12-conversion-set.html Waiting your 1/48th SF.260 Marchetti, wishing: 1/48th SMB.2 Super Mystère, F-86H Sabre Hog, SO-4050 Vautour etc. V.P.
