exdraken Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 some updates, my photos with the phone are not really world class...... hope to provide something better soon! the hud is barely visible here, but quite nice in real life! canopy masked, not glued yet, so painting will start soon! probably going to use the big 1700l tanks as well they are form the Kinetic offering and can also be found ins some of their MIII kits . te rear fins are only correct for the M2000 though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) tanks also in need of maskinh: the dark brown is a special case... shade and colour effect depending strongly on the light... sometimes more red, then straight/flat brown who knows!

exdraken Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 some touchups necessary, I definitely did nicer pait work in the past! but... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 nose and tyres painted, small but important progress and i noted that i did not have any decent Magic IIs prepared yet..... eduard released some very nice resin ones recenty but I only bought the Magic I for the Mirage IIIs.... so I went to the stash and broke open a Revell Rafale kit, probably the best injection molded Magics out there ready for paint! - white / off white it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Magics in off white.... SAMPs also need more colors Edited October 15, 2017 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) doing night shifts to finish this one.... as I am leaving on Friday for holiday finally I really like those SAMP 250 bombs from l'Arsenal Magic II with shamelessly robbed decals and instructions form the Eduard Magic Is.... and decal work: the FCM decals are fine and printed fantastically, quite hard to apply tho! I did not manage to succesfully put on the thin long walk ways, should have cut them before to small pieces I guess...... luckily the Italeri ones proved to be more easily to use and also do not look bad at all imho!
