alain11 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Hi all well I don't want to start a whole WIP , for this project ,but rather a review of..... enhancement ??! ( I've tried ) , so , I won't talk to you about fitting issues from nose cone to tail end , wings / fuselage etc.etc, and other "annoying" stuffs talented people here have already did it better than I would do . so , here is the list of improvements done on some " strategic" areas namely : cockpit - IP , IP coaming , side walls , rear bulkhead, seat .. pictures are rather explaining than words instrument panel :kit part not conform to the C version side walls , little details added according to pictures of C version IP coaming rear bulkhead differ from the kit part on a few details the ejection seat come from the Paul Fischer's set ( resin cockpit for Mirage III E) , this is the MK 4 , Edited December 19, 2016 by alain11 AndersN, shbemo13, Whitey and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hi all thank you guys for your interest ... The next " strategic" area : the wheel wells, front and main . details moulded by Italieri are .... not so bad , one can live with , but somethings can also be improved . I think the front gear bay is the poorest in details , this bay is more "busy" , big "pipes"are running all along , I have pictures of this area , and this is not obvious to determine "what is what" , it's a real mess inside ... I let you judge Inside the main gear bay , details are not much better ( my opinion) once again wires are added + small stuffs here and there ...don't pay attention to the speed break bay , all will be closed at the end HerculesPA_2, Whitey, shbemo13 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hi all thank you mates for your interest and comments , it's really appreciated ....so , let's continu this quick review . the landing gear . the kit parts are nice , especially the front one , good details , even if I wish "sharper " details ( never satisfied ) this said , wires , cables must be added the main gear legs . Italieri provide nice parts , but ...these gear legs are not conform to the C version,( however nicely cast for the E version) ..... the only thing we have to do is to remove the actuator cylinder , and make a " reinforcement " leg (??) . of course , once again the eternal wires and cables must be added on the left , the original part note the position of the new "reinforcement leg" to be continu right now Alain Uncarina, shbemo13, red baron and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
