Wish we had that here!

If it's in your cart, maybe try going through the 'Checkout' stage. It might just be a fault of the website not adding the value of the items in your cart. Cheers, John

I'd like to see the F1 allowed/included in the group build, as it's a part of the Mirage story. When one thinks about how different the Mirage 2000 looks compared to the Mirage III, I would say that the F1 has just as much a claim to be in a group build as any other variant, including Kfir, Cheetah, Finger, Nesher, Dagger, etc. Cheers, John

I'd be open to the idea too! I'd be looking at a Dassault/GAF Mirage IIIO A or F as operated by the RAAF in the 1980's. Keep us posted! Cheers, John

I'm not sure at what point SASR (Australians, SAS are British) got M4's. I'm pretty sure they carried M4 carbines in Desert Storm in '91, but not sure about the '80's. Might be worth investigating. Cheers, John

Sounds more like a mistake by line maintenance than the captain... Anyone forget their torque wrench that day?

Looking beautiful Ian! Keep it up! Cheers, John

Looks like it's "Back to the Future" for this build! ;) (Sorry, had to say that) Cheers, John

Beautiful! Love the high engines on the Berievs! Cheers, John

Lovely build, lovely weathering! Well done! Cheers, John

Wow! This looks pretty in depth! I'll be watching with interest! Maybe one day I'll find a kit of this and build the RAAF Roulette's aerobatic team version. Cheers, John

Hard to believe those things could actually fly! Great pics of a great little subject. Many thanks Cheers, John

Love your work, Clive! This looks great! Don't forget to add HEAPS of grime to the u/c bays. I work on 737s for a living and their u/c bays, particularly for the main landing gear get absolutely filthy in service! Plus lots of pipes, hoses, etc. not to mention rubber, dirt, grease etc thrown off the tires during takeoff or landing. Great weather opportunity! Congrats on the little munchkin due in May. My modelling time's been drastically reduced after the birth of our first born, a boy, on the 9th of January. But there's still time there if you look for it. Cheers and great job on the build

Nice looking build! I like that you've added things small details like the panel lights in the cockpit too. It looks like you've closed up the cockpit now, so probably too late, but maybe next time add the small cable that runs to those lights? It's a pretty beefy cable and quite hard to miss when you look at the light assembly, plus it would go towards explaining exactly what those little tubes under the glare shield are. Here's a link to show what I mean. Good to see that the Mr Surfacer incident didn't destroy the build or your motivation :) Keep it up! You're going great for a first shot

Congrats on the magazine call up chuck! Loving this build and all the handy hints and tips that go with it. It's making me want to do a 1/32 RAAF F-4 now! Cheers, John
