Muzz Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow, fantastic looking finish, ultra realistic. Can I ask what colours you used for the camo? Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 That's got wow factor Matthias. I though your first photo was a reference shot of the real aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 absolutely great model! please do not take my following point as a critic on your model, just, as this is the first Italeri IIIE I see built, I ' like to comment on. somehow the main landing gear seem to be a bit on the high side, and the main wheels look someway out of proportion...rim and tyre size does not look familar.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Absolutely superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathy Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 You are right exdraken. If you take the 1700l fuel tanks as a references here you can see the high of the Main wheels. http://www.escadrilles.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Mirage3E_1988_3-JI1.jpg On the other side. The fuel tanks on my Mirage are empty, so there is no weight on the wheels...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Really superb model again, I think the best IIIE I have seen yet. The weathering is simply perfect. Hopefully Italeri will release further versions of the IIIE base aircraft (praying for a IIIS/RS myself) David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
