Carlos Guate Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Hi again, from my trunk of memories, some photos of the really hard to build 1/72 Mach2 Breguet Alize. A sort of kit nicknamed "just for machos" 😆 . Need first a lot of putty, use of epoxy to fix better the unions. and also a bit of investigation due the sparse assembly instructions. but let´s go with the photos: the only one pieces tree provided, also remember the clear part needs to be polished a bit only a photo of the process.. after a lot of patience: the final result, I used Humbrol paints, decals came from a Model art sheet due the kit provided are fragile and translucent: conclusions and recommendations: 1. as a limited run kit you need a bit of experience, inspiration and a open mind to try new techniques and tools. 2. the decals need to be reemplaced due the low quality provided with the kit. 3. and the last advice is remember to investigate about the subjet to get the right informations related. (thanks Internet, the new Alexandria´s library) cheers from Central america. Carlos Edited February 25, 2023 by Carlos Guate grammar 73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Excellent build. Just shows what can be done with the application of modelling skills. I have built two Mach2 kits (York and Argosy) and agree with what you say about building them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 What a nice result as I know MACH2 kits are really hard to build after my recent finished Dassault Mystery XX. Congratulations. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Every Mach 2 kit finished is a testimony to the builder's skill. It's something like the "Iron Man competition" for plastic modellers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopesdaddy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Excellent result on the Alize. I feel as though calling a mach 2 kit "hard to build" is being very polite, I have 1 (HH-43) in the stash and completely lack the courage and skill to attempt to make anything out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedingBlue Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Well, if it is "just for machos" then we must consider you macho, because your final results are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat101 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I think your Alize looks fantastic! Mach 2 kits are not the best but they do have the advantage of producing some interesting subjects. I think you definitely squeezed the most out of this one. Well done.

bianfuxia Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Fantastic effort! That plane really deserves a modern quality kit - I'm not brave enough to do what you did but I'd buy a more mainstream kit of it in a flash. Enjoy that beautiful model, well done!
