Fanakit Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hello, My last model : Special Hobby 1/72 Mirage F-1CZ Decals : Xtradecals and some stencils from Albatross Paint : Gunze (Mix) and Alclad Accessories, Pitot tub from master, and Resin ejection Seat. Great kit, I simply applied Mr Surfacer on the panel line to decrease engraving. Hope you enjoy this kit too Ivan 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celt Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The French done some visually striking aircraft and the Mirage F-1 is proof of that. Your model emphasizes the clean lines of the original,I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 very nice work !!! Two little, but very little remarks : - maybe you could change the mice inside the air intake, on South African versions, it's a biconical mouse... - you didn't paint the two sensors of the RWR on each side of the tail fin (the grey circle just below the VOR/ILS winglet). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearmatt Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hello Ivan, Now that's a nice surprise! Another fantastic model you're showing us here. And one that is also on my to do list... ;-) Looking forward to see it in real. Salutations Benoît 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ivan, Thank you for sharing this with us, you've done a cracking job there I continue to be impressed by everyone's efforts with this kit and look forward to making one for the Mirage GB in 2017 (providing it gets through the vote, which it should if we see more models like this). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Hi Ivan, Wow, that's excellent work - I love the realistic camouflage and finish. Nice selection of subject -you've made it look like a real Vlamgat! Nice photography too. I agree with you -I'm looking forward to other releases as well. Jay PS -If you have the chance -it's an easy correction- perhaps you could fix the front nose gear door upright (it's upside down now).

Fanakit Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Many thanks to all for comments, help and advise very nice work !!! Two little, but very little remarks : - maybe you could change the mice inside the air intake, on South African versions, it's a biconical mouse... - you didn't paint the two sensors of the RWR on each side of the tail fin (the grey circle just below the VOR/ILS winglet). Thank you Eclipse for your advise, I was in doubt with the RWR I found pics where the sensors are silver. And as I am not sure about the sensor I do nothing waiting for more information. Following your pic I update my model. I known for the air intake but it's not so easy to correct it... and not enough motivation to do the job myself. I'm waiting for resin accessoiries maybe one day available on the market ? And what about Special Hobby future release https://s1.scalemates.com/products/img/0/0/4/259004-16207-30-pristine.jpg the 3D rendering does not have the correct mouse. Hi Ivan, Wow, that's excellent work - I love the realistic camouflage and finish. Nice selection of subject -you've made it look like a real Vlamgat! Nice photography too. I agree with you -I'm looking forward to other releases as well. Jay PS -If you have the chance -it's an easy correction- perhaps you could fix the front nose gear door upright (it's upside down now). Thanks Jay for your comment, I am unforgivable for the NLG door... now in the right way, I have to take new photo in natural light Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi Ivan, That is superb modelling, you have produced an excellent miniature replica of a SAAF F1. Your presentation and photography is top notch too. I look forward to building some of these SH kits as well. Roll on the Special Hobby release of the F1AZ and the CR/CT so I can use some more of my Berna Decals. I shall also look forward to your future AZ build. regards, Zhizhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeto™ Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Great looking CZ, brings back a lot of memories. One of them flew over my house in Pretoria from Waterkloof AFB when I was still a kid and in the process broke the sound barrier - I thought I was going to die!!!
