The main difference, when I finally get around to starting on mine, is the aftermarket I have. Since I will be building mine as a photo-recce aircraft (Of Course!), I have the following aftermarket: Model Art decals 48/010 AML resin exhausts Neomega cockpit set Royale Resin wheels (R082) Model Design Construction scribing template set (SCR48001/A reissue of the Up North set) L'Arsenal BOZ103 chaff dispenser pod (AC 4863) L'Arsenal Barracuda ECM pod (AC 4809) L'Arsenal Hurel-Dubois CT-523 recce pod (AC4875) Your build really looks good so far. Love what you did with the landing gear. Larry Thank you Larry. That’s a nice collection of aftermarket you’ve got there. Especially the L’Arsenal stuff. Best of luck with your build. I’ll keep an eye for your WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez, I have had the kit in my stash for probably 10-15 years, and have slowly been getting the aftermarket as I could find it and afford it. The PE scribing template set was the most expensive, but the most important piece (For me) was the CT-52 recce pod. I have a few hundred kits ahead of it in my build queue, so it may be awhile before I start on it. Larry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Beastie Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Seats for the Mirage are done. These are the seats that come with the NeOmega resin cockpit set. Some very nice detail on them. Painted with Hataka Blue Line acrylics. UMP black primer applied to the the fuselage. Then the underside, and the grey part of the camouflage sprayed. This is Hataka Orange Line Extra Dk Sea Grey. Then lightened the ExDSG, with white, and did a little post shading.

Wee Beastie Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Blu-tac sausages to mark out where the green will be sprayed (Hataka Orange Line Olive Green). As with the grey, once the initial coats were airbrushed, a little white was added, and some post-shading done. Then glossed ready for the decals.

Wee Beastie Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 I had some trouble locating the correct sized badge for the starboard side of the the tail fin, a CIFAS 328 badge. Eventually found one, but printed detail was very sparse. Photo 2 shows the difference between the 1/48 version, on the left, and the acquired 1/72 versions. So with a fine brush, I painted in the extra detailing. Then I did a panel line wash. Ammo by Mig washes were used, Blue Black for the grey, and Dark Green Grey for the green. The last photo shows the streaks left by bird droppings, done with a thinned acrylic white, and a very fine brush.

Wee Beastie Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 After a matt coat, pastels have been used to carry out the weathering. Also the undercarriage is now attached.
