what a winner you have there..lovely weathering and great paint job. You made a rather "boring" paint scheme look interesting.

Good evening Michaël,
Thank you for your comments.
Which region of Switzerland do you come from?
I used Gunze shades but with blends to match the real shades.
- H 330 + Olive Drab (20%)
- H331 + H056 (20-25%)
thanls Barbouille - you nailed the colors.
I am from Wallisellen, close to Zurich and very close to Dübendorf with its nice Flieger- and Flap-Museum where some original Mk58 Hunters can be seen.
Cheers,
Michael

Cheers Rick. Of course, the rudder pedals too
.
Thanks very much. After strafing , literally a parting shot to impress upon the recipients of the forward facing ones to keep their heads down while the aircraft departed.
interesting - makes sense. Cheers, Michael

Hi WildeSau75! The original idea for using this Wheel orientation was to do a "proof of Concept" for an aircraft using a bicycle type under carriage. Several aircraft were on the drawing boards, namely the B-48,B-51, and B-47 , that would potentially be designed to use this style. Two of the aircraft, B-48 and B-51 were being developed by Martin hence the reason using the B-26(cheap and available) Though neither the B-48 and B-51 never got past the test phase, the B-47 from Boeing did enter service using this basic design. Also in a modified form of sorts Boeing later used the inline idea with the
B-52.
. Hi LorenSharp, thanks a lot for your reply. Do you know,what they were looking for exactly to achieve? What were the advantages they expected by this concept?
Cheers,
Michsel

nice build of an unusual subject. what was the intention of using this undercarriage?

Nothing wrong with the information @WildeSau75 absolutely right, just depends I guess on the position & action of the aircraft at the time. Bit like the Jaguar intake auxiliary doors. Only right to have the. open when taxiing & take off. Closed usually when stationary and in flight but moulded open on the Airfix kit.
I agree - depends on the actual state of the aircraft. Usually closed when stationary was what I thought too. Cheers, Michael

Really nice build! An interesting detail is the "bavarian" zapped AG 52 badge.
About the airlerons, check out this picture 😉
thanks for pointing this out - never too late to learn something new! I too guess this are then flaperon positions. Check pics of turning Phantoms and you will see the ailerons workimg in opposite directions - but makes this model definitely looking "right". Sorry for the wrong information.

Cheers - that’s interesting on the ailerons, thanks for that. Still got another Phantom waiting to build
more than welcome mate - the one pointing downwards creates more lift and the one pointing upwards decreases lift and thus makes the aircraft rolling to the respective direction. Good luck with your next build - looking forward to it. Cheees, Michael

lovely builds - like the scheme. I guess you made show both ailerons pointing downwards - they should point in opposite directions.

Man, what a stunning model. I am Swiss and always loved the Swiss Airforce Mirages - you did it more than justice. congrats and hat off. I do have the kit too and will be happy if mine turns out only half as good as yours. Cheers, Michael
PS: for those interested - here a video of the real deal (IIIRS recce) flying in the Swiss alps:

I cannot believe that this is your 4th model! I have built around 40 models when I was around 12, 13 years old - ok I wouldn't count them really since I glued more my fingers than anything else and didn't even care to paint my model - and around another 5 since I re-entered the hobby but none of my builds ever looked as good as this Spitfire. I am impressed - a real winner that you have there. Looking forward to see your 10th model 🙂
-
what a lovely build - my only critique: it's not a Swiss Mirage III 😉 - what colors did you use for scheme?
cheers,
Michael
-
Lovely Dora - looks just great.
Cheers,
Michael
