Jimd1971 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hi Dave Have you tried High Planes & Red Roo both from Australia As the Heller Mirage IIIC/B is used as a base for building our much loved RAAF Mirage IIIo, both these Australian companies do resin ejection seats, cockpits & full IIIo conversion sets that might be of use for this kit. I've used all of these bits in combination with the Eduard PE set that you mentioned to make my RAAF Mirage Kits. http://www.redroomodels.com/ Mirage IIIB conversion http://www.redroomodels.com/conversions.php?conversion=354 Mirage IIIO conversion http://www.redroomodels.com/conversions.php?conversion=353 http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/ Mirage IIIO/B Martin Baker Mk4 Ejection Seat http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/new/ima...C4803_large.jpg Mirage IIIO/B Martin Baker Mk6 Ejection Seat http://www.hiplanes.dragnet.com.au/new/ima...C4804_large.jpg Jim (from the great southern land) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Very nice Jim What it by chance the Heller parts that drove you mad? I'm building a SAAF Cheetah at the moment, with the same Heller kit as the donor and it's getting right on my nipple ends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm building a SAAF Cheetah at the moment, with the same Heller kit as the donor and it's getting right on my nipple ends! It was more the full panel line re-scribe as well as inserting the Red Roo Resin tail cones and resin cockpit plug for the single seater, one thing I did find with the Heller kit was that the undercarriage legs are not very strong (when asked to carry the Red Roo full resin 1300L & 1700L drop tanks) so I had to drip them three times in a bath of CA glue to give them extra strength. Not sure if the SAAF Cheetah's use these large drop tanks? HTH Jim Edited September 21, 2007 by Jimd1971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
