Renegade Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Good evening guys, The Cheetah D has always been one of my favourites, and with so many parts in common with the Cheetah E, it's a sensible choice for the next conversion. The forward fuselage has been replaced, because the Italeri over-engineered layout is just not user friendly for this purpose. The nose is just the basic shape so far, and still needs a lot of detail. Cheers Landrotten Highlander, Iain, Brett M and 18 others 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 If it rains, it pours. Actually we have 4 or 5 Mirage-III-conversions running. Lots of Cheetahs and Kfirs and Daggers around Will follow this with interest too Regards - dutik Renegade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I thought I had enough Mirage kits, guess I was wrong, utterly irresistible. Renegade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I need one !!!!! Well, it’s more than an idea, the project is well advanced !!!!!! it opens up other options , by changing the nose cone !!?? The main fuselage still remains the same. Great news Alain Renegade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks guys, for the positive feedback Just the cockpit section will open up so many possibilities for many other Mirage III/5 duals Cheers Marcel111 and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi guys, Quite an exciting conversion It's a crazy, but fun project. This has had me scratching my head quite a bit, to come up with solutions. Here's what has been done so far. Still some cleanup to do and a couple of small parts to make, but getting there. Cheers, John scvrobeson, Kagemusha, alain11 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 great !!!! what is planned for the clear parts ? vaccu or clear resin cast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 John I am sure you have it covered but just a reminder the nose wheel wells on all the dual seater Mirage III’s are further to the rear if compared to the Mir IIIE.
