Iain 13,802 Posted January 2, 2017 Share 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 Lothar, Whitey, Artful69 and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites

monthebiff 7,263 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Very nice. Regards. Andy Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,802 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share 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 F`s are my favs, Starfighter, Harold and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Cheetah11 2,238 Posted February 12, 2017 Share 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 Iain and Harold 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,802 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Good spot - looking at photos I can see what you mean! Will incorporate - hadn't spotted before... Iain Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,802 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 2,812 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Looking good! And yes, would be nice to have a Bucc. Marcel Edited February 12, 2017 by Marcel111 Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W 3,903 Posted April 9, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

shark64 5,107 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 oh boy, this is sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,802 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
