  1. Beautiful Model Gazelle! :) ..we are taking the Ski issues on board but producing a resin replacement set may not be possible due to weight issue's.. Here are some test shots of the Master cast before reproduction begins, BTW its just one Pod not 6 in a pack :D These will be perfect for Gazelle, Fouga Magister, Marchetti/Aermacchi SF-260 Warrior, T-6 Texan and JF-17 Fighter to name but a few. ..would love some feedback cheers
  2. Hey Guys Here are some test shots of the SNEB Master cast before reproduction begins, BTW its just one Pod not 6 in a pack :D These will be perfect for Gazelle, Fouga Magister, Marchetti/Aermacchi SF-260 Warrior, T-6 Texan and JF-17 Fighter to name but a few. ..would love some feedback cheers
  3. Hey Guys, I'm just starting this post in the hope there may be some interest in a project myself and a colleague are just about to complete; 30mm Gun Pods for the Aermacchi MB.339 as used primarily by the Argentine Navy during the Falklands/Malvinas war of 1982 One pod is complete with the second nearing completion, they are very well detailed and should be ready in the next few weeks. We are toying with the idea of pairing these Gun Pods with recently finished Zuni Rocket pods.. Would love to hear some of your thoughts on this subject.. Thanks in advance Roy :)
  4. Hi Guys thanks for your feedback, Just a quick note, I meant the MB.339 (I was working on both kits at the time and mixed them up!) I'm going to start a fresh thread to correct this, The good news is these pods are almost ready and look sweet!! the starboard pod is complete already and the port pod nearing completion. Just a few more weeks and I'll be able to post pictures. Roy :)
  5. Hi All Myself and a colleague are planning to produce the infamous SNEB 6 x 68mm Rocket Pod in 1/72 Scale. This little launcher is in use with such platforms as the Gazelle, Fouga Magister and JF-17 Fighter to name but a very very few. I'm just trying to gauge how much interest there might be? No Pics as yet sorry but the cast is nearing completion and looking good, ..I would love to hear some feedback if possible? Thanks Roy
  6. ..its the same kit mate with added crummy launchers..
  7. Hey Guys I've posted here before about 1/72 Dauphin II resin upgrades and some of you might remember me for my first adventure in resin casting, a very simple but effective long nose conversion for the Dauphin II, about 2 years ago.. Well there was a surprising amount of interest in this subject and I was overwhelmed by the amount of messages and emails I recieved (& still receive!) about this subject. So for those of you who are interested I'm happy to inform you that I have teamed up with another master modeller and after many months of hard work we almost have ready a complete resin
  8. Hi Guys I was just wondering if people are still building the old Airfix Gazelle? She still is the only game in town in 1/72 scale as far as I'm aware but what if there were affordable decent resin conversions to spice up these kits? Myself and another talented modelling colleague are embarking on a number of projects including a number of classic kit upgrades and we are just putting the final touches to some interesting sections, let me explain a little more; Firstly we are 90% complete building impressive SNEB rocket launchers as used by British Forces in the Falklands War in 1982. The
  9. Hey Guys Here are the promissed Sprue Shots ..the parachute cast looks a bit odd in those photos but I can assure you its just the flash.. The small flat section with the 4 bumps are the two starboard and port side mounts for the tailpipe and the rounded pieces are two spare parachute housing caps as these are a bit problematic casting. I also have some casts which are slightly corrected with filler from a tiny pin hole or two. Infact these are just as perfect and useful as the perfect ones, I just know some people are a little funny about these things. You can purchase them on eba
  10. Hi guys I'm just doing some research to see if there is any interest in 1/72 Resin 30mm Giat (Defa) Gun Pods for the MB.326 aircraft, specifically Argentine examples from the Falklands/Malvinas war in 1982? Obviously these would be for sale.. Would love to hear some thoughts or comments! Thanks Roy :)
  11. Hi guys We are in the final stages of production now. I'm hoping we can start selling these kits early next week The delay is in the copyrighting of the product, it's a slow process that I'm not familiar with but this is almost complete. The cost for the conversion set will be €9.99 Euro plus €1.00 Post & Packaging to anywhere in the world. You can purchase directly from me via Paypal, by sending me a PM, in return I will send you my details for you to make payment.. If you'd rather purchase through eBay I will post my eBay sellers page when the items are ready next week. Please
  12. Hey guys just a quick update I and my collegue have produced the first resin casts last night, these are just a prototypes to see how everything fits before I go ahead with the production line. I've removed the parts from their sprues and attached them to the Fujimi Fuslage. I've primed this section to illustrate the engraved lines and raised panels. (there is even engine detail on the interior end of the exhaust) Please be aware these parts are glued to the fuselage WITHOUT FILLER, SANDING OR ANY CORRECTION. so you can see everything fits well :) Also the photos have been take with a
  13. Thanks guys, this is great news! I'll answer a few question while I'm here; - why the Fujimi kit? Well yes there are plenty of skyhawk kit producers out there but I'm just focusing on one producer.. I believe the Fujimi kit is the best game in town & they cover most if not all models, enough at least to use as a base for any nations many variants. - DEFA Cannons? Not yet I'm afraid, last time I checked Aires had these readily available & always crop up on eBay. - when will they be ready? Well the exhaust is complete & looks great! Now I have to produce a silicone base &
