Mirage F-1C "Tigermeet 91" - Special Hobby 1/72


Recommended Posts

This is my first finished kit in 2023. Due to health problems in the family and heavy workload in the company, it took far too long. Special Hobby kit is well known, so nothing new to say.
From aftermarket I used:
- Syhart decals - very nice but designed for other kit, so I had to adjust or paint elements of the tiger stripes in several places.
- Eduard PE exaggeration of form over substance, but we know that.
- Eduard Mask, missed element for the reflector on the air intakes.
- Quickboost, nice intakes
- CMK parts, hm...CMK is a Special Hobby brand: the engine and nozzle do not match the model, the wheels have too large holes in relation to the pivots on the legs - how could this happen?

- Master pitot.
The rest of the shortcomings and mistakes are my cheerful creations. :evil:

Stunning! That's totally up my street & I have those decals for this. Thanks for the heads up on the pitfalls on the aftermarket parts. Looks good with the cone off, but would it have been placed on a trailer or platform?

Fantastic work!

Great looking Tiger Meet aircraft.  Was the tiger striping part of the decal package or painted?  It looks good enough to be painted.  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, yes the tiger striping parts are decals.
