4scourge7 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I agree with Bosse, that`s a real nice job! How did you find the AML kit, any problems? Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks a lot guys! How did you find the AML kit, any problems? Cheers, Ian Oh my friend, YES! Probably lack of experience with shortrun model,skill,some kit shortcomings and a little of bad luck made these builds very frustrating... but I love the Mirage and the IAF ones in particular and the kit choice is so limited! But I hope that HPM news help to fill this unexplained model gap Cheers,Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolaas Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Beautiful!! Well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4scourge7 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks Gianni Just found your `in-progress` thread, real nice work, Shahaks looks very nice indeed. I think AML is the best choice in 1/72 scale and I`m interested in your observations, thanks again. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Glad to be useful Ian! Now I'm waitimg the new HPM Nesher,when arrive I can compare with the AML. Another cheap option is the old Heller but it have raised panel lines, almost no cokpit or gear bay details ( but Pavla produced a good pit/nosewheel bay detail set ) and to realizea IIICJ you have to cut 5mm of the forward fuselage at the air intake level but if you see my WIP then you already know!

kurnass77 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Good day all my friend and many thanks for your word Dragan! I'm glad to post my actual progress; the recon bird is virtually finished,I've only add the canopy and the belly tank. [/url][/img] [/url][/img] [/url][/img] One of the goal in this model that I like is the camera lens and I want to show the process by which I got it: First I painted in light grey the camera background... [/url][/img] ...subsequently with the help of the punch & die obtained two dish,one from a photographic negative and the other from a confetti sheet for which I am still grateful to geedubelyer... [/url][/img] ...next step was gluing with the Future the confetti dish first and the negative one after... [/url][/img] [/url][/img] ...finally,I find an Hase'F-14 HUD projector lens in the spare box; glued in place . [/url][/img] Also ,I've prepared a pair of figure and various accessories for the display base. [/url][/img] That's all for now, but I've near finished and hope to post the entire models as soon is possible. Thanks for looking, Gianni. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kurnass77 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 I like the base! Hehe, my mirage? it's just a boring one from South Africa... Cheers Mikkel Thanks mate! Mmmmh, I don't think that the SAAF Mirage are boring; is one in the old or new camo scheme? Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIG Mikkel Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The one that's in the box! Linky! But the poor fit keeps me of the build... Maybe I'll convert it to something from Latin America Quote Link to post Share on other sites
