mgbooyv8 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Thanks guys! Work continued with the installation of the landing gear and the addition of the two remaining air scoops near the big wild boar.: An additional decal (provided) will be placed over the lower one to blend it in with the blue artwork. The pylons for the 1700 Ltr. tanks of the new Revell/Italeri kit had to be adapted to the shape of this old model's wings by inserting some plastic strips, cut to shape. Also, the mounting tabs had to be lengthened: I forgot to take a picture before spraying, so the modifications are hard to see on this picture. Here they are installed on the wing: The lower air scoop also got its decal. However, some touching up was needed. The black edge was added with a sharpie after the picture was taken. The Master turned metal pitot tube was glued to the nose and blended in. A bit of touching up with the airbrush was needed: Then the final bits were added and the black area was give a coat of satin varnish with the airbrush. And that means... that the Mirage is finshed in time !!! Pictures in the next post.

mydesign Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hi Peter A sharp looking Mirage and a nice twist to use the new kit Mirage decals! That will confuse our modellers that will see it on shows when displayed. mgbooyv8 and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
