I honestly thought the first pic was a reference photo. 

I thought it was a reference pic too!!

That is a most amazing model, and in my preferred scale.

Masterfully done!

Thanks everybody for your comments. 

 

@Ad-4N : for the backdrop, you can see how it is done there : http://maquette72.free.fr/articles/2006_HunterF6/index76.php (at the end of the page)

 

@Sturmovik : the fit of this kit is very very good. A lot of pieces and sometimes a little bit complex to assemble but the fit is overall very good.

 

Thanks again.

Alain.

                      hi ALL ,

 

                                   I was fortunate enuff to actually" help" build Australia's RAAF  GAF  MIRAGE IIIO Aircraft Fuselage in 1967-68 in the Government Aircraft Factory

                                   at Fishermens Bend, Melbin  and I did a LOT of Skin Rivetin' in the Centre Section of the Fuselage , wwwwweeeelll ! all the Countersunk  Rivets                                   were dead  flush !

                                I  brushed my fingers over every Rivet  I had  dollied into position and burnished any rivet that snagged my Finger tips  later on .

 

                              To end My Instructive Airframe Fitter (Class 1 ) Epistle .

                                                                                                                        PANEL LINES : they were the thickness of my trusty 6" S/Steel  Rule,

                                                                                                                         ( that I still Have...for Modellin' now )

 

                                                                                                                          cheery "modellin' " mumbas !

 

                                                                                                                                              Sauns
