Laurent Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Pretty sure there will be an Elkan available sooner or later. I'm sure there will. I also hope that someone will provide nose wiring conduits and IFR probe to do a late M5P too. Edited February 7, 2015 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El pibe vitina Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Seeing the decal sheet I believe they inverted the speed brakes colors for the Argentinian Dagger Searching in my resources, some Daggers sports these colours inverted, others filled in Red and others showing the cammo with only the red line.

Jim Barr Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I posted the question about the chaff / flare dispense on the Wingman face book site and they came back with a yes it would be included along with a CAD drawing of the unit. A very positive sign! link Regards Jim Barr Edited February 7, 2015 by Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michelaustralia Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 For those who, like me, will need some correct wheels, HPM is going to propose some in resin: http://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9906 A jet exhaust pipe is also expected and looks very impressive.

Brad-M Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Heard from a guy at a LHS yesterday who purchased 2 of the Kinetic Mirage IIIe kits a while back, said that both of his fuselage halves from both kits were badly warped. Has anyone purchased the kit seen this? TIA Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi Brad, The MIIIE's I got locally (Skyway models) appear to be ok. Can't say the same for the 3 M2000's, a couple of F-16's and one atrociously warped A-6A/E (all from Kinetic). Didn't realize the problems until the recent M2000 I decided to work on and found the badly warped and twisted fuselages ... then decided to check the other Kinetic kits I have and found all the warped fuselages (and more in the A-6). I have a handful of their Kfirs and they all are ok. If I can't really look the kit over first I won't be getting any more Kinetic kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary, You can email to info@kineticmodel.com for parts replacement for deform parts. But you need to take a photo of the deform parts to get a replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi Gary, I was at Skyway yesterday, and had the Mirage in my hand and put it back when the guy told me both had warpage issues. I just checked my Stoof, and all is well there thank goodness. Hope all is well. Brad Hi Brad, The MIIIE's I got locally (Skyway models) appear to be ok.

Gary F Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hi Brad, I was there yesterday also, from about 1-2. Had a tam booney hat on (doing a chemical treatment on my forehead for sun damage and have to stay pretty well covered for a couple weeks). Busy getting ready for a move down to China Lake in the next month or two ... guessing you're settled in at Whidbey by now. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michelaustralia Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Could somebody who has connection with Wingman Models tell tehm it is Mirage 5 not Mirage V ? it might still be time to change ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Could somebody who has connection with Wingman Models tell tehm it is Mirage 5 not Mirage V ? it might still be time to change ! I believe that the Belgian Air Force called their Mirages VBA and VBR. Still it should be Mirage 5 for the other users. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Airfixer Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Exactly. "VBA/Mirage V BA" and "VBR/Mirage V BR" were the official Belgian Air Force designations given to the Mirage 5. Accordingly, the Wingman labelling is correct, fully complying with BAF nomenclature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Airfixer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The Belgian AF wanted something special, so they were setting traps... What's the capital of Vatican state? Vatican city. What's the capital of the Republic of San Marino? San Marino. And what's the capital of Liechtenstein? VADUZ. ;)/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
