Tecnikit, mind blowing aftermarket

[allbann]

Can I use any of your Mirage engines for a Colombian Kfir c7 or c10?

Kfirs do not use Mirage engines but the US J-79 one.

Thierry is right.

 

Not only you can not use our ATAR 09 kit for using GE engines. Our avionics kit behind the cockpit would be incorrect too.

Please keep going and don't mind the quibbles about prices. Modelers are inveterate complainers, but will put their money down for quality. Your stuff looks amazing.

Thank you very much Bill.

 

Nothing like the scratch to understand the value of work .

I'm just glad I don't do exposed engines .

[Tecnikit]

Mike, the comment about the scartch is as example because of this. The control box with the starter system of the AL31 engine. Made quite a few years ago in scratch.

 

 

Calculate the hours and the economic cost in hours for a modeler do it at home.

Maxim, yes... but we have models to see the engine through the inspection panels .

Hello,

 

since Temp Model is giving us a lot of new 1/32 russian related items such Su-30SM vector nozzles, what we need to make a nice Su-30SM model are CANARDS in 1/32 and a set of detailed flaps and FOD´s :-)

 

Thank you

How close are those gear struts to those on the Mirage IIIC?

Thank you

I appreciate much more than you can imagine your ideas. I have my predilections about certain detail sets, but they don’t have to be better than others.

 

For the Su-30 we plan to launch the radar with the same high level of detail that we already use for the Su-27’s radar. And also for the nozzles since we have made the previous version of the AL31 engine. This for example is the smaller piece of the kit of around 2 cms. The back part of the radar antenna.

 

 

The idea you indicate is very good. But use 3d resins could be not for that work.

 

Control surfaces are large and very smooth ( without complex details ). This involves using much more expensive 3D resin to make parts that could be much cheaper and equally well finished with standard polyurethane resins.

 

The idea is that you pay 3D for imposible details with other techniques. Your job seems perfect for zactomodels.com Have you talked to him ?

I’m sorry for the delay, Pete.

 

It depends. If you’re referring to the initial models of the Mirage IIIC, there are differences. The axis for retraction is simpler. And the hydraulic retracting piston is different and is propped to the wing. Not to the axis as in model E.

 

I enclose this link for you to see an original initial model C:

But I’ve seen other models claiming to be C of other armies with E model landing gear. If you were interested in the original C model, we could do it. But it would take two to three weeks. Say me if you are interested.

The 3CZ for South Africa takes the same original landing gear ( bottom of page ):

But in these photos of 3CJ for Israel takes the same landing gear as in 3E.

This is all good news! Thanks for the link too-

I am looking for gear for the Israeli IIICJ; so if I understand correctly, the IIIE gear that you already have will be ok?

Yes Pete. I don't see diferences.

 

I thought I saw in some very old photograph the original train. It may be that as normal there was a process of evolution of the model C. Later there was also a re-engineering.

 

In any case, that photograph of the real Mirage IIICJ is very clear. The same landing gear as E.
