Oh boy, can't wait to see it finished!

Thomas Wirsching
Thank you André, I am working on it 😊

Clair Greenwood
Wow Thomas, that looks totally trick man 🙂

Thomas Wirsching
Indeed Clair it was a bit of a tricky build with all these resin replacement parts and Miniarm´s instruction for the 2023 conversion set was a bit sparse for some areas. But in the end it worked

Thomas Wirsching
Finished the crew today. I am very happy how they turned out

Clair Greenwood
Crew are the hardest to get right, colors and looking natural. Buddy you nailed it!! Great job man.

Thomas Wirsching
Thank you Clair, this means a lot to me as I don´t consider me an able figure painter

Thomas Wirsching
Basic tank painting, luggage and the camouflage net is done exept for some lenses and optical devices. I am waiting here for some special decals here coming from Serbia soon. There are just the tracks and some careful dusting remaining now.

John
Great model and the crew figs are amazing too. I'm not surprised you're happy with how they turned out, I would be too!

Thomas Wirsching
finished the tank itself today as the last work was installing the optical lenses from SX-Art and installing the finished tracks. So far I am very satisfied with the results and thinking about making a proper diorama base for the vehicle

Christoph Kunz

Vladica, I found the kit in my stash. I will package it tonight and calculate a postal estimate to Serbia for you. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Let me know how much the postage would cost to Serbia, so I can see if I can afford it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Vladica,
I packaged the kit as lightly and securely as possible, but the shipping estimate to Serbia is $35.60. Your total would be $50 USD. If you want it, please send my your complete name, shipping address and email address for the Customs form. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Thanks for the info. Sorry, but that's a bit much for me. Tell me how much it would cost to ship that model to Chicago? I have a relative there, so I could ask him to send to his address. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
$8.60 to Chicago.

Vladica Jović
Okay, I'll contact my brother in Chicago today, to see if he's on vacation by chance and to agree on shipping. Please send me your Paypal account and your email address so that we can pay you and send you the address in Chicago. I will contact you as soon as I hear from my brother. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Okay. My PayPal address is: vertol-107@hotmail.com

Vladica, Can we possibly trade? I know of a vendor in Serbia who sells UpRise decals. Can you purchase UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176 in Serbia? You could just mail them in an envelope with a stamp to me. If I mail the Mirage to Chicago = 2 UR72176. If I mail the Mirage to Serbia = 3 UR72176. you think that is a fair trade, please let me know. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
In principle, it can. I'll stop by the Post Office afterwards to check how much the postage costs and I'll call the decal seller to ask if he has three in stock. I will contact you when I check it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Vladica Jović
So I will buy you the 3 pcs of decals you asked for and send them to you, and you will send me Mirages to Serbia. I don't have to pay you anything. We will do so. Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica, Please give my your full name, address and email (for customs form). Kind regards, Dutch

I just sent an inquiry to the dealer for the decals. I'm waiting for an answer. Best regards.

Vladica Jović
I would just take a look at your decal offer tonight, maybe you have something I need, so I would pay you to send it all together, if I find something interesting.

Dutch
Let me know before 10PM and I will include it in the box.

Vladica Jović
I just got a call from this man who sells decals. There is currently only one set in stock.

Vladica Jović
Would you like another set of decals?

Vladica Jović
He still doesn't know when he will get two more sets of those decals. What do you suggest ? Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica,
I see the other two MIrage decals that you want. I can add those to the package. I can substitute the following UpRise decals:
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shooted" UpRise 1:144 URC14413

Or, if he carries CtA decals, then you could ask for:
(2) Boeing KC-135T Stratotanker Tail painted for a 100th anniversary 116th ARS, CtA Models (cut then add) 1:144 144073
Does that sound fair?
Kind regards,
Dutch

Vladica Jović
So you want the following decals:
UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shot" UpRise 1:144 URC14413

Hello Friend ,
For me, you pack the following:
1. Mirage III Revell H-225
2, Israeli pre-1967 Aircraft & Helicopters
Mirage IIICJ, P-51D, Spitfire, Bell 205/206, S-58, Mosquito
Microscale | No. 72-105 | 1:72
3. Mirage - Part 02
Brazil, Venezuela & Egypt
FCM | No. 72-34 | 1:72
I would buy that, and I'll send you the decals. Is that possible? Best regards.

Dutch
Yes, Agreed!

Peter Mollenhauer
Very good! How was the kit quality?

Dave Burgess
Surface detail was fine; cockpit left a bit to be desired. The wings had a tendency to warp down at the tips, I think due to the way the kit was designed. The lower wing half does not go right to the end. The tip of the lower wing is molded to the upper half, and the lower half fits into one of the panel lines. When the glue starts to set, it pulls the tip of the upper wings I had to aggresively heat and bend the wing tips up to remove the warp, and was not entirely successful. Some of the decals were a bit fragile.

Łukasz Gliński
Nice and rare sight 👍

Gordon Sørensen
Nice looking Clunk, Dave. My father flew the CF-100 a couple of times with the Test and Acceptance flight, said when the gear comes up, whole airframe shook!

Dave Burgess
I believe that's where the nickname for the CF-100 came from: the sound of the gear retracting.

Ekki
Very good work.
