While we produce the J-58 models, and finish the Mirage IIIE monographic and the J-79 engine, we announce that we are starting the Mirage IV project in 1/32 scale. https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en 😉 Regarding the price please read the description to understand the project. It will be far from 4 figures as has been speculated. For us, this is the least of the problems at the moment to deal with a development of this magnitude, and we cannot anticipate it until we have made sufficient progres

Hello, this is the link: https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=282&language=en

We are receiving inquiries about the J-58 in these last days of the presale. The design has taken much longer than anticipated to determine the routing of unanticipated piping throughout the structure. It has been like taking a crash course in J-58 engineering. We have learned enough about the J-58 so much as to do an instructional video on the engine external parts at a later date. In short, the final design has ended up doubling the number of external conductions shown in the design displayed on our website. But... it is already being finalized and will start to be pr

Thank you very much 😉. Yes, I think so too.

The designs are finished and tested. The pre-sale period will be closed this week. We advance at least one focus of the version with infrared search head, with details of the optical system closure. The launcher in the assembly process version shows the fuselage attachment columns by the sides with the fairings disassembled. As well as the lower cover disassembled to access to the adjustment of these parts. As can be seen, the wings and rudders are thicker at the central root. Following the real aerodynamic line. Which also helps to make these

We have completed the tests and are in the process of manufacturing the decals by a German company. They cover 3 optional numberings for the radar, infrared search versions and for the experimental versions used with the Mirage III. In addition, the different nationality letters are included for the production models. So that the modeler can adapt his code to the nationality of the Mirage he is building.

Between 35 and 50 Euros... expensive ? ... really ? In 1/32, 3D laser printed and including decals ? Ok... 🙂... 😶

Are in presale the MATRA R530’s ventral launcher with the fairings removed so that the pod can be attached to the fuselage by the ground crew. The MATRA R530 is lying in its installation cart. The cart can be mounted with or without the upper lock which is disassembled at the moment just before the missile is assembled. https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=285&language=en You can choose between the infrared version seen in the illustration, or the radar version with opaque cone and slightly longer. The work includes

Hello John: If you have followed the prices of those models ( Italeri for example of F104A ) I have seen them from 65 to 120 euros. Therefore the price of a model is not a reliable constant. I cannot value my work because of the manpower that may be in China, or because they are sold below market by stock disposal. And I will not sell thousands, nor hundreds. Nor is it my market. I bought a decommissioned model of a tank for 350 euros. And not very good, but unique in its scale. Also the Revell Type VII submarine deck in brass for 120 euros while the model cost 90. Don’

Thank you very much for the last comments. I completely agree on EVERYTHING. I knew this was going to be difficult but yesterday was one of those days when you wonder if it was worth all the effort. But today is another day. Javier

Good point 😂😂😂 I'm definitely leaving the thread now. I have to work tonight. Andres, thanks for closing with a joke. 👍

Since you continue with the tacataca, there are a number of things I'm not going to let go. First of all I don't post a message received on my site coming from Illu where insults are the general line. I don't post it to save you the embarrassment. And by the way, don't speak on behalf of others. I do appreciate the only 'one nice thing' you said in your message. That I have talent. That sweet thing is much appreciated. But keep in mind that talent is developed with a lot of effort. And that costs money. Secondly and in reference to the 3D printers, with which I have bee

I know that engine and that company. And they do a very good job. Now, their prices don't match up for me if they are using laser SLA and have to pay taxes like me. I have even investigated if there are new cheap laser printers in Russia but not. If I didn't use lasers I could cut prices in half, but I'm not going to do that at all if the quality suffers. About the engine I have the Saturn Al31F ( not that but they have too ) that was my first design. Is “adjusted” to fit the Trumpeter Su-27 model and has the starter on the air intake tube that connects it to the nacelle. Plus it s

😀 I already said that I didn’t want to get into debates, but well... you want enter. Aaron: 1- The complete PW 229 is at 40% to finish the entire engine. I had to stop it because specific orders came in from other engines. But it’s on the list. The PW 220 wouldn’t make a big difference. But as it is all a matter of preference. That is, if a customer is willing to make a firm order for something we do not yet have, he has an extraordinary discount as project confirmed for sale. https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=30&language=e

Did I say you can’t choose? What did I tell you before? I said "Each customer decides what wants to buy. " About "I don't care at all how "faithful" and "accurate" Well, in that I disagree. For me the faithfull and quality are imperatives. I would not spend money on something knowing it is obviously wrong, nor would I spend money on a detailed light. But that’s only my opinion. Spend less on a bad or mid well done reproduction or with 3D printing aberrations.... depends. But spend a single cent on putting a detailed that is not the correct... well... then what did you buy it for?
