Robert PodkońskiMake yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉
27 August, 13:25
Robert PodkońskiBelieve 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
MarkoThat's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
MartinAs 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
27 August, 15:57
Robert PodkońskiWhat 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.
27 August, 17:23
Mid FranconianExtra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…
27 August, 20:56
Bruce HuxtableSoo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

Ben MIt's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42
Ludvík KružíkRobert, 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
Robert PodkońskiNow 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 🙂
28 August, 05:35
Ludvík KružíkHe 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
NeilHi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29
Robert PodkońskiStill, 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
Ben MI looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
Robert PodkońskiI 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
gorbyI 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
Robert PodkońskiThanks 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
Alex KA 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
Robert PodkońskiFeel 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
Gary VictoryThat's nasty....! Good luck with your build. Robert. Take your time and enjoy it.
29 August, 07:45
Roland SachsenhoferYou are a brave man! I will definitely be watching this with great interest - great!
29 August, 07:46
Łukasz GlińskiWhat 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
Robert PodkońskiWelcome, 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
Łukasz GlińskiGot 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
Robert PodkońskiLucky you! So, perhaps you will assembly the Languedoc...and then we will join your forces, Łukasz? 😉
30 August, 17:11
Łukasz GlińskiNot sure, mine has to be Polish marked 😛 If I ever come to assemble it 😄
30 August, 18:08
Juergen KlinglhuberHA-- I had done this once (Leduc 021 | Album by jott (1:72)) and....OMG. Therefore I like the head-line of your album and... I done know how to put it: good that you take it with humor 😉
6 September, 20:00
Ludvík KružíkRobert, you're handling this brilliantly. I wish you continued success with the construction...
... and that your supply of putty and sandpaper lasts. 😄
7 September, 16:28
Robert PodkońskiThank you, Ludviku... perhaps some substantial amount of thick CA glue as well...
7 September, 20:15
Bruce HuxtableLiking the internal modifications, very neat fine work. Each part is a kit in itself, with which to aim for perfection.... 🙂 👍
7 September, 21:23
Dave FlittonExcellent work on this kit. I hear Mach 2 kits are a huge let down, yet they are the only game around for certain subjects.
17 September, 19:00
Ludvík KružíkThe moldings are really terrible. The last time I saw such a horror was on an old Russian Il-2 in 1:48 scale. Plus the kit lacked any surface detail and the parts didn't fit together at all. I eventually built it, but the result was so bad that I left the plane for my sons to play with.
Compared to the Russian kit, this model is significantly better. Although it is far from finished. It will still need a lot of work, but the current state of the model suggests it can be done.
Fingers crossed. 👍 😉

Robert PodkońskiThanks for your encouragement, Ludviku! I have not much spare time now and that's why the progress is so slow. Nevertheless, the only problems I have encountered so far, are molding imperfections...that can be sorted off quite easily. In general, fit of the parts is surprisingly good.
I am also encouraged by the fact that both Martin, and Juergen have successfully finished this kit:
Leduc 021 | Album by jott (1:72)
Leduc 021 | Album by malepo (1:72)

I have not build a Mach 2 model for a long time now... 😉
