Andrew Doppel Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Looks great Thommo . Looks like a 2OCU bird to me. I also look forward to having it included in the AMI Mirage Gallery. Regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Julien (UK) Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice job there from our resident RAAF experten! I have managed to put up a place where you can post the finished builds, as somehow we missed putting up a finished thread! Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kev Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That's an excellent result Thommo. Well done mate. Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mumbles Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Finished Nice! Will be great inspiration for my build of the same thing when I get around to it. Mental note: must thin intake leading edges........ I just had a look at my 80's vintage single seater and the lips are just as thick on that as well, not surprisingly given they are probably the same mould. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Nice job Thommo, looks like an OCU Mirage to me, spent quite a few hours turning spanners on that jet! :) hey Ray - is this you turning a spanner (well a long screwdriver actually) on a Mirage?

Trojan Thunder Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 hey Ray - is this you turning a spanner (well a long screwdriver actually) on a Mirage? Bit before my time Thommo, and I was not a RADTECH, I was an INSTFITT and this is me checking a fuse on a trip to NZ back in 87. We were there for the RNZAF 50th Anniversary air shows. And the jet was A3-33, the only grey jet we took on the push. Sorry about the quality, scanner is not working so I took a picture of a picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clockwinder Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Great replication Thommo. Amazing job. The detail is awesome. I worked on Mirages with the RAAF for 17 years (of a 21 year career!) in Williamtown, Butterworth and Darwin and served in every Mirage unit except 2OCU. http://s895.photobucket.com/albums/ac155/droeth/Mirage/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went to school with his son, they were in Butterworth for a while, he used to tell me stories about filling the bomb-bays of aircraft with rocks & letting them go (while on the ground). Maybe he caused some of your work ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 And this is what I've got to work with - kit via Ebay (bloody expensive too ) If anyone is looking I have a source who has a few for sale. Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
