Makes two of us waiting...

I am currently waiting for the mirage iii V to be sent from the Ukraine, and the Brazilian 50 too, I can get them so much cheaper than buying them here in the UK, and that includes postage too. I have changed the nose on an AMK Kfir C7 to make it into a wiff C10 Block 60.

I have what i need in 1/48, Kinetic C.10 and the Wingman models C.10, which i'm planning to use for a different version., C.14 from the GE F414 engine.
Not for the Cheetah, though... I'd need to buy the Kinetic Mirage III or 5 kit for that conversion. 
In 1/72 i only have one High Planes Mirage 5F ROSE III, this one could be converted into a Cheetah C but i need to find a suitable nose. Also, i'm not sure if i want to build it like a Cheetah or a Mirage 5 NG version again...

     Yeah, true...

Tell me about it!

Arrived this morning, one Special Hobby Mirage F-1 2 seater, built one before and liked it, and from my friend in Scotland a Hasegawa Kfir C2. Oh and some decals to do a FAA F-35, as well as U.S. versions, the FAA ones won't be getting used on an F-35 though.

LOVELY kit that two-seater F-1. 

Received this afternoon

From eBay:

1 x 1/72 Amodel FiSK 199

and from Plastmodel Poland

1 x 1/72 RESKIT MiG 31 (Early Version) Exhaust Nozzles.

It certainly is Kit, and I enjoyed building the first one I built.

Oh a very good Sunday it had been ...just won a kitset I didn't even know existed.

Quote from: Beermonster58 on August 30, 2024, 12:27:32 AMI'm thinking a C-141B might look nice in RAF colours too.

Absolutely!

And I have a 1/72 scale vacform kit of one. Goodness knows where I could put it if I built it though! 

    Good luck with the vac form!!  Kinetic was supposed to be doing a 1/72 C-17 but, things have gone awfully quiet on that one since the announcement a few years back. I guess it isn't happening. I'm not a fan of 1/144 but, needs must! I guess a couple of the Roden  C-141 kits might be winging themselves my way soon. I'd like to add a C-5 to my RAF collection but, given the only available 1/144 kits are so ludicrously priced, I guess I will have to do without.

I got a partially built Otaki C-5 a million years ago, and it's still sitting in its box and not finished. Another one that I REALLY ought to get on with, in the RAF of course, probably 47 Sqdn. one of my Dad's former units.

Well, I was very happy to pay the £70 for the Otaki kit I found at the Scottish Nationals this year. I have yet to decide which RAF squadron will get it and as usual, I plan to make a rod for my own back by doing it with the door open and carrying a couple of Chieftains.

Kit....... I don't care. I have one now and it's untouched so I can make a mess of it any way I like
