rafalbert Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 As I have put the Mirage back on the shelf of doom to prevent me binning it, this resin masterpiece will take it's place. My missus bought me it for Christmas a few years ago and I started it but was scared off by the NMF and the different shades that are seen on the real aircraft. I have decided to keep it simple and paint the metal areas in one shade with the white areas obviously white! The resin casting is excellent with sublime detail, no doubt to be ruined by my cack-handedness! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Anything 1:144 is good in my view. Looking forward to your progress on this. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalbert Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Having been evicted form my workspace/office by my missus who is working ridiculous hours from home (teacher), I am struggling to find time to get any modelling done. I have built the general airframe and used liberal amounts of filler, but have managed to lose the canopy. It has not been out of the office but I cannot find it anywhere. I have written to Anigrand to try to buy another but they have failed to respond so far. I will build it up as far as I can without the canopy but obviously not be able to complete it without that rather vital part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Shame about the missing canopy as this one is looking good; hope you find it soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Really sorry to hear about the missing canopy. Daft question but are you sure you had one and it wasn't already missing ? Or, could you a dipped it in Klear and put it somewhere to dry ? Fingers crossed it turns up soon. Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Annoyingly I had been checking the fit and put it on a shelf for a couple of days. I remember thinking "I need to move that or it will get lost" but have no idea if I did or where I moved it to. Ironic to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Any other builds on the go at the moment the canopy could have ended up in the wrong box ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalbert Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well, miracles do happen! I was cleaning behind a bookcase just outside our office/my workspace when I discovered this: I have no idea as to how it got there but I can crack on with the old girl now!
