Following with interest. My daughter saw this aircraft in a documentary and wants to build it. She liked it being yellow and red.

Me 2.

The comparison of the new SH and KP kits is interesting. I think SH is better, but KP offers decals for more interesting decorations. Thanks for the input 👍.

Great work, Erik! The SF-260 is a great looking aircraft. Looking forward to following your progress.

I really enjoy and admire your "variation-on-a-theme" multiple builds / collections (even using several different kits of the same subject), as in the case of your Fouga collection or the SF260 (one of the most graceful aircraft!). I wish you will also include the civilian example of photo 33 in your future SF260 builds... Keep up the good work! 👍

Thank you, Alex, and yes I will build the Belgian civilian one. I am actually working on home made decals for several Belgians and I found someone in the Netherlands who can print decals with white for a very reasonable price. Special Hobby announced a second kit of the SF 260 with the higher canopy. Unfortunately An other yellow one, so I will have to make more decals.

Still putting decals on ST-20 : many VERY TINY ones, and I misplaced some. Fortunately , I bought several kits, so I can finish it

One more finished : the SH-kit with the decals in the kit. They are very delicate, and I screwed up some, but as I had more than one kit, I could correct my errors.

Thanks for providing interesting information about your builds, I really appreciate that.
I'm very pleased by the Sabena ones, are you willing to share a copy of your decals? Of course I would pay you for that 😉
