Mr scale32 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Hi there again fellow modelers! This is my latest build. The Mirage IIIC from Italeri. It took about 1 month to finish and I had to tell you that it isnt that good as their F-104. Many fitting errors. The worst part was the seam between the nose and fuselage.The nose cone is really bad in shape. I also figure out that i had to glue the wingparts to the fuselage before joining fuselage halves together and to move the wheelwells. Otherwise the wings did not fit very well. Besides that it went together pretty good. Model Factoid: Eduards Interior photoetch set. Eduards Exterior photoetch set. Isracast Resin ejection seat. Brassin Wheels. And some scratched build parts (F.O.D covers, inside front windshield frames with instrumens and cables and front and fuselage pitot probes) For Paint i have used Gunze acrylics in various colors for the paint scheme. Alclad II. Edited May 31, 2016 by Mr scale32 Tnarg, dutik, florin13 and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
