To me it is very probably easier to use the resin parts as a guide to modify the kit ones. The exception being the short exhausts. Otherwise you're going to fight the discrepancies coming from the original Hasegawa kit.

Hi Max, It was made for the old Hasegawa Mk.Vb kit. I'm afraid you won't be able to use anything except the exhausts.

Have a look here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1A94FV5un9/ And scroll down to September or October 2025 and you will find detailed pictures of an Humber kit.

Hi guys, My Dogfightworkshop kits arrived and I just said: wow! The prints are terrific!!! It looks we now have a solution to solve our lack of WW2 1/32 ground vehicles! Obviously this solution is less attractive than styrene kits for various reasons. First, they are far more expensive (but also easier to build). Second, there is no clear part. So you're on your own to get light lenses and reproduce the flat windshields. And last you also have to recreate yourself all the markings. But to me the problems are quite minor as multiple brands released lenses for AFVs and vehicles and recreating markings on such vehicles is easy as they were quite basic. Highly recommended!

I may be wrong but I guess that UFO is actually a Navy blimp. 😄

BTW, I forgot I made a tweak list for the Hobbycraft kit. It is on the LSP website.

Actually most of the airfoil issue in the Hobbycraft kit can be easily hidden/solved. You just just have to fold the wings! I got the Fisher wing inserts from an helpful modeller who built the kit with the deployed wings. I quickly concluded it would not be that difficult to modify the plastic kit parts as the plastic is very souple. However, this is just one issue along the multiple ones you can find with that kit...

Years ago I started the same conversion with the Alleycat set and reached the same conclusions. If you look at the circuit seen in a G6 this should also be visible on the starboard side of the rear station if this was not noticeably modified. This should at least go down under the floor along the side, close to the rear IP. However, nothing is visible there. Look as well at the Avia CS-199 and you will again reach the same conclusion. This confirms what is visible in the TM drawing.

Does anybody know a source of pictures of the internal cockpit sides located above the side consoles and the rear bulkhead of both stations? I have three books about the AMX including one with walk-around pictures but the internal ones only focus on the instrument panels. I also checked the web for a long time but the coverage is very weak and I only found three basic pics of a restored single-seater. The CMK 1/48 detail set shows some structural details on the sides including what looks like a document case fixed on the starboard side of the rear station. Any idea?

I have the two Fisher kits but the recce versions were never covered. So a recce version will probably be my first purchase from him.

Simple: use FODs. One guy on eBay.co.uk is selling very nice 3d-printed fabric FODs

Not so simple! Who said the boxing will cover day and night fighter schemes? The box art shows a BoB type and the kit will possibly be limited to such day schemes. Then Kotare can quickly release the night fighter... 😉

THIS is interesting me seriously!!! Do you have a link to share?

Salut de Belgique!

Same for vacform or any other clear plastic that is sensitive to UV light! So it is important to chose the correct material to avoid that issue.
