Really wish they would consider resurrecting the 1/48 AB212-ASW, that was planned a few years back .

I think I might be able to supply these from a Kinetic kit I have, if you’re interested. Only other option I know of is Renaissance Resin RF48043, which I would be interested in sharing the cost as I need the outboard pylons from this set. PM me if interested.

The Hasegawa F-16D builds up into a nice model out of the box, by adding some aftermarket parts you can make it special. Aires cockpit, exhaust, Steel Beach details/intake FOD cover

Can't remember if I sold it or not, I'll have a look and get back to you.

None of the above are even remotely close to being correct.

If you use enamels then I highly recommend Xtracolor, not sure if a US distributor was found after Roll Models.

In all the photos the ALCM’s look very much like 36270 to me. You have different lighting conditions on all photos, some in shadow and some not, however there is nothing to suggest to me that we are looking at different Greys.

Happy Birthday Steve🎉 and thank you for everything you do to keep ARC running.

Here’s one of the original threads

T-2 Buckeye

Jet Provost Mk1, reminds me of Crazylegs Crane from the Pink Panther show.

Personally I would wait until the guy in Mexico pays for kit and shipping before contacting the Ebay buyer, then explain.

A ship is a ship and needs to be structurally sound regardless of whether it’s a training ship or a deployable asset. Looking at various photographs coming out of the ship, I cannot see the BR setting sail again. The damage to the ships systems alone will outweigh any economical repair, and it would probably be cheaper to build a straight replacement.

Looks like it’s stolen a couple of CFT’s off a F-16.

The error is easily seen on finished builds which have a Matt finish. Also if the problem wasn’t there, then why would Raymond admit to correcting the error on the TF and A/C mouldings?

I would imagine that the vertical pipe is some sort of vent, another wise the bladders would create a vacuum as they emptied.

Also be aware that the undercarriage, the inside of undercarriage doors along with air brake wells etc... will be gloss finish, whilst the main airframe will be matt.

What version of the Mirage F1 are you planning?

Do you think it could be an option to redo the G fuselage on it's own, at the same time as you start to produce the A/C version. Even if it was sold separately from the kit itself and involved extra cost to the buyer, I for one wouldn't mind paying to get the correct shaped parts. I don't know how much it would cost to tool a corrected mould so it might be a non starter. Do you have any plans to redo the F-5A/B in the future?

1/ Can you please clarify 2/ You don't think the largest part of the kit the fuselage, is equally important if not more so. You'll find that with most kits the areas you have mentioned are more often than not corrected by means of aftermarket items, your own Mirage2K-5 being one with wrong radome and exhaust which has been addressed by KASL. I cannot think for a minute that any AM producer will market a correct shaped fuselage to rectify the G's shirt comings and any modification to correct the shape by 99%of modellers(including me) would be a non starter. I don't k

They weren’t day-glo, it was more of a Peach colour.

The Euro1 scheme was used on USAF Phantoms ie: C D E G and RF. The EJ was used by JASDF and never wore Euro1. The JASDF did have a two Green /Grey scheme of their own with Lt Grey undersides.

Yes but unfortunately the G version which I would imagine will be the most popular out of all the possible variants, will not be getting rectified. Despite what some say it is not an easy fix.

Raymond, with the imminent release of the TF-104, are you able to share some sprue shots of the new fuselage?

Sweet........... Stay safe while here in the UK.
