Paul, I think I may have some but I have to dig for them a little. Let me know if you still need them and I'll see what I can find.

You dont get the white stripes with the green bands but I sprayed them myself.A good exercise in masking

Gary, that would be very nice. I'm surely interested in them if you still can find them. I send you a PM.

So, my progress has not been at all very fast but I thought I'd post a photo of the detail work so far on my Mystère. I've tried to improve the cockpit area, which in the kit is only a hole with a very simple seat - so far, I've added an instrument panel made up of parts from an Airfix Henchel Hs 126 and a Heller Viggen (!) as seen on the pic. Also a plate of plastic card has been placed in front of the cockpit to close off an area for nose weight.

I was somewhat aghast when I took a look at the kit myself. There don't seem to be a whole lot I could find on the Mystere. There's probably a ton of stuff in France. I was thinking that I'd have to fashion intake trunks as well. The nose piece is quite shallow so I don't think a blank wall would look all that convincing. I suppose the quick way is to fashion intake covers.

I'm making next to no progress on the Sea Hawk. Work is claiming a lot of my time. I'm still working on carving out the gun troughs and trying not to think about the painting and decal stages.

Yes, this Mystère kit is quite crude...and I have also not been able to find much written material or reference pics on the plane at all. Are you also planning on building yours for this campign? I've just gotten back from holidays so not that much has progressed since my last posting. but the fuselage is put together with nose weight included and tonight I am working on filling quite some horrendous gaps around the wing roots! I am also thinking of trying to paint some panels in different metal shades with the help of Alclad II.

I'm in china once again, but this time I've seen traces of a hobby store. I hope to find it again tomorrow, so if anyone have strange questions about Trumpeters more local editions - hopefully I can get, at least a primary note of, the "what to gets" here.

Hi Gary, Shermies looking good! I know it's a WIP but the red on the M4 tracks looks quite strange for rust, will it stay there ?
And one funny thing: is it the photo angle, or in reality the M51 looks to be smaller than the M4?

Also, if someone can point me to a decent photo of a Centurion in the campaign, I'd be much obliged.

Triumph, I'll see if I can explain: You click on the photos tab at the top of this page which takes you to the kitmakers photo site. If not already registered, you do so and create your own photo gallery account there. Upload photos to your account and once you’ve done that, you can cut and paste the address of your photos into this forum when you post. For the example, I removed the closed brackets at each end, you would leave these in place,

Example: img]https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/16775/medium/m60_a1_Patton6.jpg[/img

with enclosed brackets:


This is the way to post photos as it occurs to me. Somebody else may be more helpful if what I have said is an oversimplification!

Good Luck from a fellow dummie, Gary

Sure hope this works now
