The camo painted ones in the photo above, are acually Maras (ex Peru) , not Daggers/Fingers.

Carpena (CP7236 ) did once a set for desert storm machines, including a kuwaiti BK :

Thank you , gentlemen, you are much too kind !

Thank you , Gentlemen ! I still have a couple of them Hasegawa in the stash , but with the new SpecialHobby kit i doubt they will ever be completed ...

Together with the same Hasegawa , F1CZ, built two years ago.

Hi ! Here's my latest build (started almost 8 years ago :)/>) , the old Hasegawa Mirage F1c converted to a SAAF AZ. Rescribed, riveted and with some scratched parts. Most of the decals were home printed. The WIP here : http://www.cartula.ro/forum/topic/4700-mirajuri-sud-africane/

It has been posted before, on Britmodeller. It was actually a dark blue color, check the ramdome's color and Kelly's shoes and suit :)/>/>

Lovely MiG, Dragan !

It is as real as it can get, see the video below with the entire scene. It's available on Getty Images here : http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/syrian-air-force-jet-near-palmyra-a-unesco-world-heritage-news-photo/517482678 The Gazelle is also in action over Palmyra.

An amazing photo of SyAAF Su-22M4 close to the soon to be liberated Palmyra :

Hello! I have just finished an old Fujimi kit, Ki-43-I Hayabusa , with some scratch detailing in the cockpit and a riveting job. The canopy was replaced with vacuformed one. Markings are from a BestFong decal sheet, with modified serial number.

Thank you for your kind words, Gentlemen !

Hi, My latest builds, three Az model kits. The AZ model kit is excellent, apart from the "skinny nose" . The "in progress" here : http://www.cartula.ro/forum/topic/13705-serbanescu/

Thank you for your kind words, My pleasure, drop me a line on private message and I will help, provided I still remember what I did back in 2008 :)

I've seen it first hand at Mosonshow. An amazingly fine model !

Your built left me speachless. The pics could easily show a 1/32 kit ...

Great! Please do not forget the special "souris" on the SAAF F1AZ. The intake cones are longer on that version. the classic intake cone : The F1AZ:

Hi Dragan!, i'm also not an expert in f-16 but shouldn't the block 40 have a bigger mouth and different ehhaust than the 50/52?

Your little Yak looks excellent. I love the weathering also ! Ed

It looks Amazing !!! Your attention to such small details is inspiring . Ed

Hello! Here is the latest addition to my collection, an old Italeri Hornisse . I made a little conversion based on the new info that emerged in a Revi mazine about the turetless version. Apparently they also had a revised canopy that i had to modify myself. The work in progress here

I might have some spares . Pm please . Ed

Great work, Vince! A small detail that is overlooked is the size and shape of the intake cones. On the SAAF version ( and of course later on the Gabonese ones ) they were much longer, so much that they required a mobile tip to keep the door on the nearby panel clear. You can check the picture here: I started some SAAF F1's some years ago, but lost interest :( http://www.cartula.ro/forum/topic/4700-mirajuri-sud-africane/page__p__76613__hl__mirage__fromsearch__1#entry76613

I finished also the set of three planned Avias. First the prototype B-35.1, made out of the old KP kit. I termoformed a new canopy and scratch-built the interior of the cockpit. Next, the second prototype, the 35.2 this time under German management. RS kit, pretty much OOB. I added the two small windows under the windshield. Also riveted some parts of the fuselage. The final production series, made also from the RS kit, also OOB. I just termoformed a new canopy and built it open.
