modelling minion Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Whoever made the exhaust (Pavla maybe?) they did a much better job than ESCI/Italeri as it looks very good Werner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 You might be lucky with an extension - after all Enzo himself might need one as there has been no WIP postings on his builds for months, though not that unusual for him I suppose! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there hope of a finish before the deadline? there is always hope! painting should be finished, lets see what removing the masks reveals... not sure if I manage the weapons loadout though.... I'd have Magic IIs and 4 Mk82 bombs planned.... but they are still in a very raw state... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 I also started to tackle the armament yesterday.. maybe maybe.... Eduards Brassin Magic missiles are fantastic, I already used the I and II variants on previous Mirage f1 and III builds they also come with adequate and nice looking pylons, in this case for the F1 and Mirage 2000 series... clear coat is on, decals and some antenna detail painting is next 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 so, decal...... lets put it that way, a bit of a cobbling together, not perfect, but with some touchups hopefully doable! the roundels are from the FCSMM Mirage 2000 sheet, correct colors but,. unfortuanelty not too rich in color...!, and a slight bit out of register it seems! the rest is from a Carpena sheet with really bad roundels, the rest is ok, but not up to modern standards... the squadron markings are very good though! have a look what a different light does with the camo colors!: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 A superb effort to get this one finished in time. A very good finish to something that is slightly different. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
