    You are most welcome! Are you tracking your Mirage build somewhere here on LSP?
  2. SwissFighters
    Regarding heating outlets or chain drive, I wonder what do the drawings show?
  3. SwissFighters
    I appreciate all the feedback. Very helpful. Thank you.
  4. SwissFighters
    I got confused with dialectic! Learned some stuff along the way, though.

    Love your work Sean! If the model is already rather tail heavy, then do you think the replacement Reskit exhaust nozzle will make it tip? Tony

    Fantastic work Peter. Following your work is like reading a compelling book - not sure what each page will hold but totally enjoying how the story comes together! Thanks so much for sharing. Tony

    Fantastic work! I have the pictures approx. twice as large as the model on my screen. How much better must the detailing look in real life?!
  8. SwissFighters
    Great job! Loved following along. Thanks for sharing. Tony

    Genuinely looks like a metal structure! Love it.

    Fantastic work on the wheel wells! Makes me want to follow your lead with my own kit. Perhaps too late now, but G-Factor produced landing gear which is as crisp as the original plastic and more than strong enough. Maybe an option if these don't hold up (but I sure hope they do!). G-Factor gear for the Hunter is available through Sprue Brothers and elsewhere. In my opinion SAC stuff is, in most cases, worse than the original in every regard. Looking forward to the next post!

    Looks fantastic on my screen! What are you planning with weathering? Could you tweak the colours then?
  12. SwissFighters
    Peter, your work is in a league of its own!
  13. SwissFighters
    Just wondering if the seat is OOB? Looks great!
  14. SwissFighters
    Really love this work, just captures something special for me.
  15. SwissFighters
    Definitely weathered! Not sure how to prove Swissness...I own a Raclette-Öfeli?
  16. SwissFighters
    Haha! Obviously I'm not the only one!
  17. SwissFighters
    You fixed up all that paint in how many hours??? Impressive...most impressive!

    Looking at that last picture could it be that the hood is back to front? It appears the highest point is not in the middle of its length - made me think you might have popped it in the wrong way round...
  19. SwissFighters
    These look pretty good - any other F-5E parts possibly in development? Tony

    Looking for some enlightenment...I don't quite follow the comments regarding the P-51K as the Tamiya P-51D/K kit is still available On the other hand I reckon the H model would be a brilliant kit to produce...just sayin'

    I think this is exemplary - it appeals to me personally as seeking to reproduce something in miniature in every way possible (including painting and weathering) rather than being an artistic interpretation, even though that process certainly also has its merits. I interpret these pictures as looking at a smaller version of the real thing rather than a 'model.' I hope that makes sense! Thanks for sharing. Tony

    Great work! I think you'll find many variations of green zinc chromate are possible, even within the same cockpit. The seats were often different from the cockpit structure. Your mix looks pretty good to me.

    Thanks Jay, yes, you assumed correctly! I guess I didn't want to appear rude by using terms like spindly and flexy but that's what they are at that scale. I really appreciate you sharing the rationale behind the work.
  24. SwissFighters
    Thanks for sharing Jay. I'm really curious to see how this works out! I wonder, with what I presume will be quite considerable bending moments around this section of the fuselage (how heavy is the nose section?), will the longerons be strong enough in themselves to carry that load? I assume on the prototype, the longerons were necessarily some of the strongest, stiffest components which could therefore carry stressed skins. Will the model skins carry any load? I'm pumped to see how you resolve these issues! Keep up the great work!

    Beautiful work on a beautiful aircraft, Peter. Thanks for sharing.
