Michael PhillipsBeautiful work Christian, as usual!!! So how was the kit? I have one of these and am curious of your thoughts...

Norbert SteffensI also want to know how good or bad this kit is.Did you use extra parts?

Jay NakasoneVery nice weathering and handsome detail work! You made a monochrome scheme come alive!

Christian RistitsThank you very much for your overwhelming feedback!
The kit was without any serious issues, only the wheels and gear have been a little bit difficult to attach. I used no after-market parts, only a few PE-parts for the cockpit from my inventory, but there are also some PE-parts attached in the kit which bring some extra-value...Glad that you like it mates!

Scott DuttonGreat job, an iconic aircraft, almost has to be done in Argentinian scheme, and you've done a beautiful job. Always wondered about the asymmetric load after firing the Exocet

Christian RistitsScott, thanks! Yes, I also wondered about the asymetric loadout...maybe they have to drop the tank after firing the missile?

Marc A.They did not release the fuel tank that was 1100 liters after the firing of the exocet. After the firing the pilot had to control the counterweight since the airplanes tended to move the load on the wing of the fuel tank. So one the critic part of the mission was the run away appear in which the aircraft
need to go up and make turn over the fuel tank wing heading base.

Alistair Grahamcracking model. I was contemplating purchasing this after reading Sharkie Ward's book on the Falklands sea harrier war. You have convinced me to buy it and i will get an FRS1 sea harrier as well.

Alexander GrivonevBeautiful work. Is this the plane which sank the HMS Sheffield?

Christian RistitsThank you very much Alex and Dale - Alexander, she wears the silhouette of the HMS Sheffield on her fuselage, according to my recherche she was involved with another Etendard in this fight and fired one Exocet against this ship (one of two Exocets hit the target).

Torben H.I really like the scheme with the very prominent white/blue fin. Fantastic finish and a very clean build. I'm in awe!

Christian RistitsThank you very much Arne for your compliment, it is indeed a beautiful Jet and not often seen on modelers desk!

Marc A.Argentinians are developing new way to improve and to restore most of the Air Force, Navy and EA fleet. In the SUE/SEM this last ones are full unable to operate due to OTAN veto for keep the Arg. rearmed with esential parts to keep aircrafts updated. The _SEM last aircraft bought to france are no in service and can't fly In the SEM Super Etendard Modernise they are building some driving load for the seats and some other stuff that will put back on service those 5 planes and a total of more tan 20 aircrafts plus new incorporations, without deppending the 3rd parties/countries to wait for approvals, most of the machines are no longer operational so they do not produce anymore any kind of spare parts so...we have improve our self to achieve new standards. We can see that creativity its also very esential in every field of our presence 😉
