Wez Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Nice one Patrice! The one thing I don't like about the Modelsvit kits is their depiction of divots for rivets, fortunately, they're quite subtle. I shall look forward to this one. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good afternoon alt-92 I hesitate between 2 aircraft in NMF finish the French one of the EC 1/2 Cigognes and the Israeli of the 117 Tayeset (First Jet) Sqn , I will have to make up my mind quickly because I think that I won't have time to build both of them despite what Enzo usually Says in such a situation ..

DaveyGair Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 This is one kit on my Hannants 'wish list', so I'll watch with interest if I may. I have one Modelsvit kit, an Su-7BMK that I haven't had a go at yet although I've heard they go together pretty well, some modelling experience needed.

modelling minion Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A great choice Patrice, who doesn't like a Mirage III. It looks like a very nice kit and it certainly has a very extensive decal sheet, dangerously so as there are too many nice options on it to only build one of them! Mind if I tag along on your build?

JOCKNEY Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Great stuff Patrice That decal sheet looks frightening, I don't know how many go on the version you are building but I admire both your patience and eyesight.

Good evening Wez Thank you for your comment , It is my first Modelsvit kit and I find that it fits rather quite well although it is not the Tamiya quality and I had to to some sanding when I placed the cockpit tub on the right half fuselage but maybe it was my fault .. Today I glued the upper and lower parts of the wings I also glued the tub and engine on the right fuselage half Patrice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them to be quite good, Patrice. What I really like about them is the fine panelling lining. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
