Sorry Martin, it IS a Mirage III E/R, but this one is moulded in BLUE plastic with decals for the French Republic's Bi-Centenary, not that I plan to use the decals. Well, not on the Mirage anyway.....  ;D

Box no. 4438? I have one of those, the only one I've ever seen.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

According to the PAK-20 book, 4438 is a 1/72 Mirage IIIE French AF.  It was produced by RoG sometime since 1980, it is not a Revell USA kit

A Heller Jaguar A from ebay, for just EUR 1,-  ;D

Will probably end up as a naval version - juiced up with A-7 wings...?  :rolleyes:

Yes, No. 4438 it's this one :-

I can't remember seeing any of the earlier versions before either, that one's totally passed me by. I love the arrangement where the drop tanks actually ARE the bomb racks.  ;D

Should work well under a Hunter's wings......  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Revell Hunter F6 with A2Z 2 seat conversion kit


Hello, what is this one. I did not know that A2Z did a conversion, or is it new ?

The Wooksta!

From ebay:

Doyusha 1973 Ford Capri mk 1

Only need two more motors (possibly 3*0 and my car collection will be complete.


*For the record 24th scale: Jaguar Mk II saloon, 1971 Mustang Mach One (Diamonds are Forever) and possibly a Triumph TR7, although the latter is a "if I see it and have some spare cash" kind of thing.

I deduced it was A2Z from the rather worn instruction sheet as there's no packaging with the conversion. It's all moulded in grey resin with the entire cockpit in one piece, plus an add-on rear fairing. The instructions are printed on semi-transparent (!) mylar film or similar.

I'll check it when I get home tonight and see if I can find out more.

I saw the package in question, Its Odds and Ordnance alright.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
