Iain 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 monthebiff, johncrow, Harold and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain 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 MikeC, Marcel111, F`s are my favs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
