RidgeRunner Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You, Andres. You are building the Mirage F.1? I see it requires a Mk6 seat. Where are you getting that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting that from? I have not said that. I think it was Apex who said that the Spanish F.1 used the MK 6. And Antonio Argudo provided a photograph of an MK 6 indicating that it was taken at the end of the 80s at the Albacete Air Base. What I said is that the differences between an Mk 4 and an MK 6, according to the website of the manufacturer Martin Baker itself was only with respect to the ejection system in which one was by explosive charge and the other by rocket. So, starting from what the manufacturer says, I take it for granted that the external appearance of an MK 4 and an Mk 6 is the same. I hope I have clarified the question. Andrés S.

RidgeRunner Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks Andres. My question was much simpler but I appreciate your comprehensive response. I am not so pEdantic to demand a Mk6 if it is essentially a Mk4 ;). I have a few mk4s and do I am kitted out Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wez, I'm glad you like it. I have finished the deposit by applying black oil mixed with brown to highlight the details, as well as on the tank support. The decals offered by Special Hobby for the deposit are not completely correct, but I have done what I could and even cut one of them. I have also had to build the four black ones with the blank border, which designate the support places, from leftover pieces of black on white decal and then placed in place. Some details I have painted brass. The final varnish has been with satin Vallejo. Regards. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrés S. Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 I continue with the Barax pod. The piece itself is quite well reproduced but you have to change at least one thing, although I have changed two in addition to making some screws as it comes as the rest. I have changed the inferior fins for fine plasticard, but it is not essential for size. I have done it for fineness nothing more. What is essential to change is the subalar support. It brings two subalar supports: the one that holds the Barax pod and the subalar support itself. Well, the latter is the one to replace. The instructions say absolutely nothing that this has to be changed for a Spanish airplane model, although the kit includes a very correct resin part. So using a mini-saw I have cut where it belongs and I have placed the resin piece in its place. Painted with metallized Alcald and sealed with its ALC-600 varnish. Regards.

But it is not impossible that soon i can return to it. Sometimes I am somewhat inconstant with a model. Thank you for your kind comment.
