The is is a great looking kit with heaps of spares. The decal sheet is not the best though.

Use of the transfers on the kit they came with is rare in my shed.   :mellow:

Doesn't mean they won't appear on something else of course.

Heller 1/48th Mirage III C/B (cheap 'cos no decals)

Mainly for the bits: big delta wings.

Which you can bet WON'T end up on 1/48 model!  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If you want more, look for the Airfix Stratos 4 kits, which contain the same basic kit plus extra bits, and because it's a Japanese cartoon, most people in the UK are not so keen on.

You even get the stock TSR2 decal sheet as well, what's not to like?

And IIRC it's better printed than the original.

From Ebay:

Italaerei* 1/72nd scale Republic RF-84F Thunderflash (bagged with some decals used, hence cheap)

Mainly a wings and tailplanes donor.

*Yes, it's old enough to be spelt like that.

That's quite a good kit for its time. I have one converted to an RF-84K, with the upside-down tailplane, to hang under a GRB-36J but I never got around to do the B-36.  :banghead:

The photo-nose can be very useful for further, PR style, whiffery too.  :thumbsup:

Those Campaign series of Transfer Sheets are great value and as you say ideal for Wifferey.  :thumbsup:
