Phantom2 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) The cockpit drybrushed with a dark grey (Hu.27)…. Side consoles drybrushed and glued…. A wash with my regular mix of artist oils (Lamp black/Burnt Sienna) and white spirit in the nose wheel bay…. The instrument panel painted with Alclad Black Microfiller Primer…. …and gloss coated with Alclad clear Kote Gloss…. There were no instrument decals in the kit so I used those from Mike Grant…. All instruments have to be cut out individually, little on the fiddly side but it looks great! To finish it off I gave the IP a matt clear coate and gloss coated the dials. The instrument panel glued in place… More to come soon… Cheers!

Phantom2 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Air Intakes glued and painted…. Fuselage halves glued and the intakes glued, very, very nice fit here! The cockpit and wheel well glued to the bottom piece…. I´ll leave this joint unglued for now so I can get a good fit against the radome later. Ejector pin marks in the intakes, Yikes! I suppose they will be invisible when done! But I sanded them down as much as I could anyway, I just can´t leave these things! The fin glued to the spine, excellent fit but just a very narrow edge to glue it to, a real indentation had been better and much sturdier! Morer to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Fit issues... On an Italeri kit???? Nah, You´re kidding! Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) On to the wings…. The small blue identification lights was painted with Tamiya clear blue and then I glued a small piece of Aluminium foil (shiny side down) as the reflector. Italeri made the wings in very conventional way. Two separate pieces on each side, that feels very ”old school” today when almost all makers would do a three-piece wing and avoiding too many joints. I have to say that all parts fit very well, tough. More to come soon… Please move to "Work In Progress"!

Mistral Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Nice ! Good to see another beautiful Mirage in the making...just be careful of the intake fit to fuselage. And the kit main landing gear legs are for a Mirage E/R.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
