Wolfpack Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Some say I've been quiet recently, here's why. This model took two kits, the first exploded from the intakes forward, requiring the use of a second kit to get the thing done. The basic kit cost £15, and the bits for it about £50 plus. The renaissance cockpit is a real *@##** to fit and there are no colour call outs. There is also a shortage of interior photo's on t'internet. I've also had to use enamels on this Mirage as well as the previous one. For an acrylichead, that's a tough call. All my airbrush kit is now designed around acrylic paints. Thank God for liquid reamer! Anyway, here's the photos, staring with the bits and the finished item. See if you can spot the deliberate mistake. The bits. Enjoy and thanks for looking. Come on Pappy, time to get your Mirages out again. W Edited July 20, 2009 by Wolfpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 That's nice... I'm not qualified to spot the deliberate mistake, so can we have a clue? Ooh, did you forget to unpack the intakes trunking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousFO98 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 the aircraft was meant to point the other way on the base? the wheel bumping up against the drop tank? the lack of fizz from the popping champagne bottle? or is it that she is bloomin' georgeous but was meant to be jolly georgeous?
