Renegade Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, It has been too long that this project has stood still, and it's time to wrap it up. Work has been resumed on the cockpit, as this is a critical part in how it should fit snug into the fuselage. Just about done with the instrument cowl. The starboard side was simple, but the port side is busy... After this, I will finish the instrument panel, bulkhead and the ejection seat.

Derek B Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Nice work John, well done. I also share your passion for this aircraft, and have the ancient Revell 1/32 Mirage IIIE kit as a basis for scratch building one at some future point. Hopefully, mine will end up looking like this: If it comes out half as nice as yours, then I will be a very happy man!

Wow! that is quite a job in itself and it is doable. I have seen one built using the old Revell IIIE. The Hellenic F.1's do look great, especially the blue and grey camo.

Renegade Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 I got a bit more work done on the cockpit. Basic instrument layout drilled. Adding some detail to the HUD, as well as radarscope cover.

Cheers, Marcel Thanks Marcel, The AZ has many differences, and might be considered as a separate kit in the future.

wunwinglow Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Fantastic work...... but you do know you can 3d print in HIPS, the same plastic all the kit manufacturers use for injection moulding? It will make working on your printed parts far, far easier! It will glue, drill, sand, fill, carve, groove, paint exactly the same way as kit plastic. Please, give it a try!!

Renegade Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thanks Wunwinglow, Also thanks for the suggestion. It sure would have been easier, but I have invested a lot of time into this already, and crossed the point of no return. Must say that I do enjoy the challenge and feels like I'm "owning" it more rather than a machine that has made it perfect already, and having to use some elbow grease, putting my skills to task.

Renegade Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Busy drawing up the decal artwork for a SAAF and a French F.1C/CZ, and there is only enough space on an A4 sheet for two options. Here is the work in progress. Marcel111, Madmax, Derek B and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
