I decided to modify a bit the internal parts to obtain a see-through effect of a ramjet engine.
Proiect: Flash Fiesta or da'Putty Party

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉
27 August, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50

As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…
27 August, 20:56

Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!
27 August, 21:11
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.
28 August, 08:16

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
28 August, 16:08
![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...
28 August, 16:34
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Feel warmly welcomed, Alex, Jennifer and M0rce! I am glad to have you all aboard. @Alex - I have started this album yesterday, so you're not late 🙂
28 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/45816-678-s.jpg)
That's nasty....! Good luck with your build. Robert. Take your time and enjoy it.
29 August, 07:45
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
You are a brave man! I will definitely be watching this with great interest - great!

What a party I've been missing, till now. Wishing you lots of perseverance, mate 👍
PS. Are you going to add the Broplan's Languedoc later on? 😄

30 August, 10:54
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Welcome, Łukasz. I've been waiting for you 🙂 I don't think so - not enough space, time, skills, and I am not sure if the kit is still available
Sud-Est S.E. 161 Languedoc (Broplan MS-146, 1:72)
BTW. On the photo you posted, there is the earlier of Monsieur Leduc's creations - model 010.
30 August, 13:05
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Got one of them from a shop in the Netherlands in unpronounceably named village near Schiphol, not sure they still offer them
Fingers crossed for your Mach2 endeavour 👍
30 August, 14:17
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Lucky you! So, perhaps you will assembly the Languedoc...and then we will join your forces, Łukasz? 😉
30 August, 17:11
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Not sure, mine has to be Polish marked 😛 If I ever come to assemble it 😄

I normally like to do camouflage, but that’s only an attempt to avoid the full horror of trying to make a single colour ...

first row available? great, ready for the scratch master class 🙂
and a bit of fun too, of course 😉

Welcome to the build mates.
Kesa: Sillier the better for me. I go out of my way to find odd things to build. 🙂

I love the armoured cars and Gorbs' projects - I have to watch this too 👍
23 August, 12:46
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
I often winder how you choose your next topic for scratch builds! The subject matter is always something different or interesting - and the builds just phenomenal! Taking a seat to see the next creation!
24 August, 14:50
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Oh, this is cool. I scratch-built an armoured car too - nothing this intense though - so I'm super-keen to see this one shape up.
24 August, 14:55
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Thanks both. 👍
Capt: for this one I went looking for something Norwegian, because that was the subject of the GB for Jens. It had to be something I'd be able to scratch build (as I was too tight to open my wallet to buy something. 😄 ). Normally it's because I just stumble on an interesting picture. 🙂

Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉

Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

Teabag-proof is a bit of a stretch. I suspect the insurance would have been void if they drove past Tetley's.
I'm currently making a pigs-ear of the weathering. No change there then. 😄
Thanks Alec. 👍

I'm not one of those people who claim to have a remarkable super-power...the ability to know what colour something is in a black and white photo. I haven't found anywhere which mentions what colour it was, so I'm going grey. Actually most of my hair fell out before I went grey but that's probably down to living with a daughter all those years ago. 😄
Oh yes, grey. I used Tamiya XF-87 as I thought that would be the most actuate shade of grey for something I know nothing about. Or it could equally be that I've got a lot of XF-87. Seems like a good enough reason to me.
I hope to get the completed pics posted at the weekend.

I have started this vignette. The basic painting on the house is done, the base is started and the first figures are painted.
Happy Modelling

Another update on the Mirage. Despite my initial plan to make this a quick and simple project, I used PE parts for the cockpit and created rivets all over the model with improvised tools (saw blade). Then I had to fill some gaps along the wing roots and air intakes. The panels on the nose were also filled for the simple reason that they don't exist on the real counterpart. Final reveal coming soon!
5 January, 20:20
![](/profiles/img/35938-149-s.jpg)
Last update on the Mirage - I'll probably upload a detailed video about the building and painting process tomorrow. As you can see, it wasn't easy to get a somewhat realistic colour tone and I had to mix quite a few paints until I was satisfied with the outcome. A lot of weathering was done using enamel weathering products and oils.

Brilliant progress 👍 respect for spraying the AquaColours, I couldn't avoid clogging with them.
8 January, 13:02
![](/profiles/img/35938-149-s.jpg)
Thank you guys! Yes, I also avoid spraying Revell paints but unfortunately in this case they were my only option :/
8 January, 15:03
![](/profiles/img/35938-149-s.jpg)
Finished another project! Overall this was quite an enjoyable build, even though a few gaps had to be filled and it wasn't easy to mix the blue camo of the Mirage. As usual, all details can be found in my video! Youtube Video

Not just great modeling, but also beautiful photography. May I ask, what camera/lens are you using for that wide depth of field?
30 August, 19:34

excellent collection, they deserve getting an album for each model. that will also give them the visibility they deserve, since each album can be linked to the specific kit 🙂
