Iain Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Just to prove I have been working on something aeroplane shaped here's where I'm at on a Mirage IIIE I'm doing for one of the mags - will be a Martel armed, big tank carrying French Air Force airframe - EC 2/3 "Champagne", Nancy 1988 (as shown on box art). Will be straight kit... Happy New Modelling Year everyone! Iain MikeC, Whitey, Marcel111 and 6 others 9
Guest Peterpools Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Iain Super work on the Mirage .. Keep 'em coming Peter
Iain Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 All primered and flatted back with a 3200 grit Micromesh pad - a few tweaks then ready for paint at last: Tanks and Martel Missile ready for paint too - wouldn't it be nice to have a Bucc to hang some Martels off? Off to the paint shop - have fun! Iain Marcel111, MikeC, Harold and 2 others 5
Cheetah11 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Hi Ian, Have a look at the location holes for the 1700 liter tanks. On the Mirage III E they should be further outboard. The engraved details are correct so it is a relatively easy fix. Regards Cheetah11 Harold and Iain 2
Iain Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Good spot - looking at photos I can see what you mean! Will incorporate - hadn't spotted before... Iain
Iain Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Holes now filled and a few other tweaks made - back on top of the boiler to let everything harden off. Iain
Marcel111 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Looking good! And yes, would be nice to have a Bucc. Marcel Edited February 12, 2017 by Marcel111

alaninaustria Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Wow! Iain!! I love the paint work!! Very nice! Cheers Alan
Joel_W Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 Iain, Just saw your build thread. Neat and clean build for sure. Ecellent camo paint scheme, and the decaling looks spot on. Looking forward to your next update. Joel
Haggis Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Looks great mate, you've nailed the paint colours.
Iain Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks guys - really appreciated... Colours by eye Haggis - if I mentioned the 'off-the-shelf' colours I've used it would raise a few eyebrows! Just off to the bench to finish all the stencelling. After this and the 'C' I built last year I am getting a bit 'Miraged out' with this kit, it has to be said. Iain
