TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Good monring My SMB2 build being almost finished it is time to present my next build for this Gb the Azur Frrom Mystere IV A The box art The sprues The decals sheet , the clear parts , some resin parts and some etched parts And some books I decided to represent an aircraft from Escadron de Chasse 3/2 Alsace based at Ramat David in October 1956 during the Suez Campaign .. See you soon for the start of this build Patrice 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Now that looks just lovely Patrice and the additional reference material will add to a wonderfully accurate build. That Israeli jet publication looks interesting, as do all the schemes provided with the kit. Thanks for adding a Mystere IV into the mix, sure looks a more likely proposition than the old Matchbox kit. Cheers and all the best..

Rabbit Leader Posted Wednesday at 08:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:51 PM That’s all looking very smart Patrice. There’s nothing like a splash of red paint to brighten up a model and I’m sure the final details will make this kit a stand out. Nice progress. Cheers..
