Thanks for the links Colin.

I already replied to the first one, the guy who made the model is the head of the company that makes the recce pod.

Bummer on the decals though. They are apparently only available in the 'Royal Class' boxing of the Mirage IIIC.
You wouldn't happen to have a spare set, in the decal bank?

Don't know if that third post was a Djibouti based bird or not.

I know what you mean about getting more Mirage kits. I had to get 4 1/48 Mirage IIICJ kits, to go with the neat AML recce nose conversions.

Hello Colin - good show !

On second glance it's even more tempting as - except for the first, second and last subject - everything else is 1/72nd ;D

will only cost you an arm and a leg though....

Just saw this on Aussie Modeller International: www.network54.com/Forum/219149/message/1283427799/Lock+On+Models+from+QMHE
Too bad it's designed for the EXPENSIVE & inaccurate Hobbyboss kit. I wonder if it will fit my Academy 1/48 F-111C?

Look really nice! Now if they would just do them in my preferred scale, 1/48!

I just noticed this 1/32 Ju-88D-2 recce conversion, for the Revell 1/32 Ju-88A-1 kit.

forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=29337

Let's see, $78.00 for the kit + $45.00 for the conversion?
As much as I'd like to get it, I must wait awhile.

Well - too big and too expensive for me anyhow

What's more: judging from recent info obtained from a knowledgable Ju 88 expert the camera fit offered would only be correct for 88 A-1(F) and A-5(F) anyhow.

The "D" variant having just two cameras in the fuselage BEHIND the rear bomb bay.

Thanks for that info.

Don't know how long this has been out, but I just saw that L'Arsenal makes a resin 1/48 Presto LOROP recce pod for the Mirage F1CR:

www.larsenal.com/catalogue/index.php?id_page=6&id_article=1332&ars6814180154=ars6814180154

They also make a 1/72 MRP for the F-16 (too bad it's not in 1/48):

Now I can turn my recently acquired 1/48 Gripens into recce birds.
I just wish Maestro Models stuff wasn't so darned expensive, they have a lot more items I'd like to get, to "tart up" my old models.

I see that Two Mikes is coming out with a 1/48 SHARP (SHAred Reconnaissance Pod) for the F/A-18F Super Hornet. Since only one boxing of the Hasegawa F/A-18F kits comes with the pod, now you can use another boxing, or even the Revell & Revell/Germany versions.

It's part # 48060 = www.twomikesresin.com/index1.html
