alain11 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) hi may this will interest people : Matterhorn circle has just released an huge decal sheet at the 1/ 32 scale . this sheet provide us markings for all versions of the Swiss Mirage , from the C , to the late S and RS version . decals , and even stencils for the colourful IIIC "s' Bluemli" .... one thing I really appreciate , is the small "walk around" of the specific S version ( late) , and the drawing at the 1/32 scale of the nose cone which is different from the E version ..... Well rather a long speech , take a look and .. order Alain https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiKi5eTmvfTAhVMvBoKHcxQBrEQFggmMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mc-one.ch%2FDocuments%2Fnew%2Fnew-1.htm&usg=AFQjCNFRw5hTXzCxwQewTjztEPWRIwD_vQ Edited May 17, 2017 by alain11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcatfreak Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I asked Robert, the guy who did the awesome new Mirage decals in 1/32 about a Swiss Mirage resin conversion. Not at the moment, his answer was... Maybe someone else has the skills and reference (I have dimensions of all the swiss specific parts) to do a nice conversion in 1/32. Video Aviation? Retrokit? Fisher Model? AMS Resin? Renaissance Models? Two Mikes Resin? Anyone else interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Hi I am very tempted by the Swiss Mirage , especially the late S version , very sexy in her grey dress . I 've ordered , and already got the decals ,. very nice . So men , why must I wait for AM parts ??? do it your self !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Firstly , I have to say that I am " an in average" modeller , and I am far from guys such" Starfighter " ( the crazy scratch builder) or many else here .So what kind of stuffs I have to achieve ??? " easy " things : the IP : different from the French E version ( I think I can do it , I had already did such things ) .... antennas on top of the vertical fin ,on the front gear door too, " warning pods " ( ???!!) at the wing tips , the police light on the right air intake ... maybe I forgot other things .... somethings " harder " : The "canard" winglets ,.Matterhorn provide the scaled drawing much harder : the chaff disperser . the grid must be hard to achieve , the " holes" are rectangular , why aren't they circular ?? .once again , Matterhorn provide pictures to understand the shape , charge to you to "cut" it into plastic card ...the Swiss Mirage has a particular front gear leg : the " fork " is longer than the French E version ;that allow to make the nose up , and by the same time makes the vertical tail down , and finally park the plane into the Swiss caverns ( yes indeed ) .. so you ( I) have to extent rearward the front gear bay ( 8 mm at the 1/32 scale)..by the same time , the gear door too... there is a rectangular shape bulge on the gear door , due to the leg extension the "hardest " the nose cone ...I can't do it myself .. I firstly thought to make it with the help of a hand drill ( don't laugh ), too long ( 60 mm ) , or find a guy who has a numerically controlled lathe and kindly do this cone for you ( me) ( an "ordinary" lathe can't do this "bullet" shape .)... an other way to explore , the 3 D print , we have the scaled drawing ..................I hope I haven't been boring ,and you understood my prose ...So men let's go, do it yourself , check the different "walk around", the challenge is nice Alain Edited May 22, 2017 by alain11 Harold and Tomcatfreak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
