Very kind of you, mate. 
I've a lot of photos... There were F-100Fs in the Armée de l'air.
The most difficult to make will de the canopy...

Aircraft Modeling / F-100F, a conversion...

« on: May 11, 2009, 01:09:45 PM »

of the one-seater F-100D into the two-seater F-100F. But as it's not a conversion kit, it's not very easy...
I hope I will succeed.

I needed two F-100D fuselages... I must say I've had the chance to find second-hand kits at a very low price. Both for the price of one.

Cheers,

Microscale ? I don't know if they are still in game. I think they have been "eaten" by AeroMaster...

Hi mate,

These kits look very good. They seem to be original moulds, but the Meteor NF 11/12/14 is ex Matchbox, which enough good to make a pretty representation of the original plane.

Hi everybody,

The Monogram kit in 1/48 scale. I built it in 1986...
Decals are from Microscale, in days were they were quality decals...

Hello everybody, 

Here are the last two kits I've found : Gloster Meteor F. 8 (which I will built with Corean War markings) and Meteor T. 7 (which I will build with French armée de l'air markings at the 30 E. C.)
That are Xtrakit models. They seem to be very good.

Cheers,

Hi Letipapa 
and everybody,

I've a stock of... 1126 aeroplane kits but many of them are part of my "kit museum".
I've built exactely 505 kits (about 2/3 in 1/72 scale). My last is the Skyray.
I've 77 kits awaiting complete finishing (markings are missing) because I try to make different markings than those proposed by the manufacturers. In general ther are no french markings for planes such as P-51 or P-47 which were used by the Armée de l'air...
At the age of 65, it's impossible to build the entire stock or even 50%... But, modeling provides another pleasure : seeing all these kits on my shelves !

Cheers, 
Jicehem

Aircraft Modeling / A question...

« on: April 28, 2009, 05:27:51 PM »

Hi everybody, 

I've got KP kits of the MiG 15 and the Il-10 in 1/72 scale.
My project is to build both for a series upon the Corean War.
Are they good kits even built from the box ?

Cheers,

Aircraft Modeling / The plane that never was...

« on: April 28, 2009, 11:18:17 AM »

Hi everybody, 

Here's the kit of the Handley Page C-10A Jetstream, studied for the US Air Force with Garrett AiResearch TPE-331 engines. But due to late delivery the project was cancelled.
Does anyone knows more upon this plane which was used by the RAF under the designation of Jetsream T1 and T2 ?
This kit has been built in April 1991.

Cheers,
Jicehem
