rom1 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi there, here are my 2 latest build. Two resin models from Anigrand. I am not used to this kind of build, it was not very easy I must admit. Please forget the many flaws.. Thanks for watching ;^) Romain 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Hooker Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Very, very nice builds. I particularly like the 4000. Such an elegant aircraft, pity it never went into production (y) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Womby Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Great work on two terrific looking Mirage variants. I love the very realistic finish you got on the G8. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 No flaws there. Lovely job. That 4000 looks more modern than it actually was and the other one looks like an Iron Curtain bird. Oh look, I've now done 892 posts, just call me Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Two very nice build Romain. I know the pain you went through having built the Mirage 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I can't see any flaws myself, I particularly like the 4000 as it looks like it would have been a very impressive fighter, it's a shame they didn't put it into production. You can see some of the similar design aspects that went into the Rafale too. Very nice builds, well done! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Really nice models. i would like to do the 4000 in its prototype scheme if I can get hold of one. Could you please enlighten us about some of the problems involved? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Very interesting aircraft that I've not come across before. Remarkable finish for 1/72 scale, the metal is very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks guys. Major problems were : warped resin parts, lot of puttying/sanding on the G8, too deep and wide recessed panel lines. (THE major problem for me, that took several weeks to fix) clear resin parts hard to fit cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Really nice! I remember watching the 4000 as a kid at Farnborough - still one of the loudest displays of sheer power I've ever seen You don't see them built very often (mine's been in the stash for about a decade), although look at what this nutter over on master194 has achieved in 1/32!!! http://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71088 Edited November 20, 2014 by DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
