Tam's kits are maybe not perfect, but are the best options, with the help of some AF sets, namely: exhaust nozzles, the "Red fox 's" cockpit (or Quinta studio) a pair of bang seats ("sparkit's" ones are gorgeous), " Aerocraft models" clear parts, ...and a wide choose of decal options, you can get a very nice rendition .........go ........... Alain

Aerocrafmodels , great stuff indeed ( I already experimented them )way better than the original Tam's parts ... but : if you want to go "deeper " in the details you have to add the " anchorage points " on each side of the front canopy ( am I clear ??) oh , I don't speak about the hooks ( two on each side of the both canopies ... but you know this ) ) Alain just above the pilot's head

hi it seems that the P 47 finds some interest among our fellows, yours is a very nice rendition, I am more and more tempted. Alain

good new about the forthcoming Phantom from " red pill " but as it's said above ..... when ??? maybe you have more infos ??? ,I suppose to !!!!... so , if you are preparing no less than 25 different schemes ( 5 sets of 5 profiles ) you should be in the "Gods's secrets " Alain

more than beautiful ! gorgeous !

hi I am interested too , I am in France , I will be pleased to pay the shipping cost cheers Alain PM sent

hi like most of us, I have no flying experience (I was in artillery) (11 artillery regiment in Germany) except one time when the pilot of a flying club gave me control of the stick during a flight (what an exciting thing) so no matter the plane if you get that feeling of lightness for me : Spit ,Mirage III , F 15 ( unlimited list ) we have a couple of former jet fighter pilots here ...what about they feeling ?? what a fun it must be !! cheers Alain

Hi I like this jug !! You Know what ? I think I Will open my Trumpy razorback kit , so tempting...... Alain

don't give up ... maybe you should display her in " flight "

mate , you are more than brave !!! Alain

thank you guys, I’m glad you liked my helo with her grouper face and red lips cheers Alain

Hi gentlemen This is my last construction, something different today ... this is the Wessex HU 5 from Fly.... the kit is a "short term", the plastic is thick, the engraving is sometimes "soft", especially the multitude of small holes supposed to represent the rivets (they are raised on the real machine) but no matter that works, we have some nice resin parts ( cockpit consoles , rotor head , wheels etc ....)The decals are thin and nice , for 4 different colorful helos .. The instruction sheet is .....not clear , and I dare to say "messy" , ... But stop chatting, there is a complete review of the kit here....... Well, don’t expect a very detailed construction like "Shark 64 did it here some time ago, I’m nowhere near as skillful as he... My main improvement is in the cargo cabin. there is a lack of detail inside, and God knows this area is " occupied," so I scratch built it, and too bad if nothing will be seen afterwards..... I put some raised rivets here and there on some hatches, panels and so on, especially around the windscreen, for a more pleasing effect, I added some "pipes" along the fuselage on both sides , the rotor head needs more details , a good picture is very useful because of this complex area ........ what else ??, the paint scheme is not provided, but it's nothing, I just painted a big D on the fuselage, the decals are from the kit...... Is it perfect ???? no , but despite some issues , it was a cool trip ......so enjoy ....or not thanks for watching Alain some in progress pictures

Hi this could help . From Caracal decal " fighters of Austin " cammo pattern known as " hill cloud scheme " Alain

it's a challenge ,I said , I built 3 of these old kits ,At each time I have encountered problems with the gluing of the wings to the fuselage.. attention to the dihedral

Hi WOW !!! a long sanding session awaits you ... did you receive the 1300L tank ?? Alain

hi excellent natural metal finish, not a shiny aluminum, but quite dull according to an "operational aircraft " finish..... well done Alain

Hi For my part, I would do the "surgery" on the bottom,......... to be honest, I would catch up the fuselage/ nose profile with putty, it seems that there is barely 1mm (more or less) between the fuselage and the nose.. I use for this kind of work, putty for body car repair (finishing putty) easy to sand down, can be engraved, it's a bi -component, putty + hardener ... it could be worth considering Alain

the Viggen is a resin model , an heavy stuff ( almost 2 kg ) . I wonder if the F 84 will be a 3 D printed model , I presume lighter than the Viggen ... doesn't it ? The Ouragan of course , I mainly waiting for the SO 9000 Trident Alain

I made my pre-order yesterday .Regarding the weight of the kit , I hope that the nose gear leg, will be strong enough to support it..well .... let's trust to the Jetmad team to solve the problem Alain

Hi it's a very nice little " vignette" , very realistic , the battle damages are well done , you got it !!! .. the guy on the tail plane looks a bit "relax" compare to the dramatic moment depicted ,I presume it's the typical " the Brit sense of coolness "(or composure) Alain

Hi Mate , You’re a challenge-loving guy, I remember your Revell's Mig 29 ( for example ) this one will be a hard way for sure ... hang on , have fun Alain

Hi great job on the wheel wells , I 've to admit that I was waiting for you in these particular areas .....if you're not a fetishist, what would it be if you were? Maybe not fetishist, but perfectionist, if you didn't make such detailing , somethings would have been missing ....hat off Alain

hi it's a living diorama , we are as a witness of this moment ... well done Alain

Hi Your parcel is on the way Alain

Hi Karl , aka " black Betty " has reworked the original O Pinsolle's conversion to the - 5 version a while ago , I seem to remember that radar pod on the right wing came from Harold 's Alain
