  1. Maybe 2-5 per year the last 25 years. Stefan
  2. Tanks in 1/35? OK, works for me.... Helicopters in 1/35? I prefer 1/32 but I can accept 1/35.... Aircraft in 1/35? NEVER! My 5cents on the topic. Stefan
  3. This kit is the old Hasegawa in a Revell box; I used the kit decals out of this boxing! There are two options besides the Swiss aircraft, both in agressor schemes and I´m pretty sure one of the options was Alconbury. Stefan
  4. Of course I WANT my models to be as accurate as possible, but sometimes (...most of the times...) reality kicks in. But I usually have a very relaxed attitude to dimensions (as long as the overall shape is OK), markings and colors, depending on the subject. As long as I have fun buildig the kit and I´m satisfied with the result, I´m happy! After all, not many people except my wife and myself will ever see it! Stefan
  5. Yes, the fuselage is a silver laquer too, so mostly silver, I assume. Thanks! Stefan
  6. Would a Devastator in pre-war colors qualify, lower part of the wings are stll silver? Stefan
  7. I got the two kits "that got away", alas, the ones I missed out on earlier. I bought the Mirage 2000 and the Texan T-6 from Modellbau-König (Modelbuildig King) in Germany. They look EXACTLY as the KH boxes did, logo, colors, all is the same and now MBK have (or had....) almost the whole range! I got what I wanted so I´m happy! Stefan
  8. I´d wait for the Kotare Spit.... Don´t care much for 1/35 scale.... Stefan
  9. Yes, It´s the canopy I ment, sorry. This; Stefan
  10. Hi All! Now, we can remove the lid and take a look on what´s in the box! It´s a standard “Eduard/Special Hobby” sieze box and there´s plenty of room for the kit, not many parts here, really. All parts comes in a single, large plastic bag, the clear parts are thankfully in their own, smaller plastic bag. The instructions and decals also come in a separate plastic bag. Fuselage halves…. The wings…. One large frame with tailplanes, nose wheel bay, engine parts and small detail parts… One smaller frame with elevators, tanks, fins and pylons… One small frame with smaller parts… One clear frame… These are among the best clear parts I have ever seen! No distortion, completely scratch free, very nice and WELL DONE, Fly! A large, well printed decal sheet with decals for 4 interesting machines, 2 Swedish and 2 Austrian. That little sheet to the right contains the instrument decals. Very well printed decals, even if I can spot some spelling errors, even the Swedish Crowns are looking good and usable, and look at the badges! The little devil…. Finally, you´ll get a large bag with resin parts as cockpit, seat, wheel wells and wheels and some small detail parts. Here are the parts cleaned up and removed from their plugs. This is the aircraft I will build, Red Tore (Tango), s/n 29652, 1st Sqn. F9 (F6?). I really like those black exercise markings! More to come soon! Stefan
  11. Revell hands down... ...but invest in the resin cockpit from Alley Cat. Stefan
