Renegade Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Very strange too almost never be at home, and now with the current situation and a lockdown enforced, I have to keep myself busy. A friend of mine wanted to test different printing styles on his home 3D printer a while ago, and asked me for a challenge. So I said a 1/32 Mirage F.1C would be nice, thinking he would not be able to pull it off...lol. Well, he delivered a 1/32 F.1C as best a basic 3D printer can. Oh boy, it's rough, it'll make a blind man cry, but I like a challenge. Even more when it's an aircraft I have a great passion for. A ton of filler and layers of primer later, Started scribing panel lines, and she's starting to look the part https://i.imgur.com/1p0pX Edited March 29, 2020 by Renegade Missing text GROWLER 96, Anthony in NZ, johncrow and 26 others 29

It's been a while, since I have any updates for you guys, regarding my 32 scaler Bucc Kit. I haven't done much, since things got bmvery busy for me, making scratch built models for customers. I have 4 on my workbench at the moment. Here in South Africa, we are also on a 3 week lockdown, and I hope to get these projects nearer to completion soon, so that I can get back into the Bucc. I will deffs keep you updated, however, there is a TONNE of stuff to do! See ya real soon Jon Derek B and Kagemusha 1 1

Dandiego Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Very nice. Always wanted one, strange that there is no IM kit of this aircraft. Here in the US these aircraft are getting new life as contract aggressor aircraft. Can't wait to see what kind of wild camo schemes might come forward. Dan Renegade 1
Renegade Posted March 29, 2020 Author Posted March 29, 2020 Thanks for the kind words, guys The F.1C is quite an iconic fighter, and I really would like to capture this as best I can. 6 hours ago, Cheetah11 said: Nice one John. Are you planning to produce a kit ? Nick Thanks Nick, I have been contemplating it, and it would be quite an amount of time and resources required for such an ambitious venture. My biggest concern is interest in a multimedia kit like this. I see a couple of guys would like a 1/32 F.1C , but it certainly won't be injection molded. I do have the time now to work on it, considering the lockdown. Worst case scenario, it will be a once-off. I'll post some more pics as I progress. Cheers, John Derek B 1
Kagemusha Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 A consortium of Italian modellers released a multi media 1/32 Fiat G. 91 a couple of years ago, think the price was about €180, don't think they had a problem selling them. If a kit were to include SAAF, French, and Spanish decals, where there is a healthy modelling community, it would certainly help potential sales.
Antonio Argudo Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 wow, that's my dream kit in this scale! I grow up watching this airplane flying since it was based in my hometown, if there is a project of releasing it I'm in!!! cheers Kagemusha, Derek B, Dutch Man and 4 others 7
