Dmanton300 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well usually Kinetic showed CAD model snapshots and test-build photos. Here we have some test-shot photos where all sprues aren't featured. We may have to wait more than three months this time. Possibly, but he actual cutting of tools takes days as opposed to weeks or months as it used to. So the data and design is the lengthy part, and I find it hard to believe that that data isn't well along the way for the balance of the model if they're showing some of the sprues already. Nah, I reckon three/four months! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

31Tiger Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Light on top off the wings, something that is also missing in a lot of Mirage model kits No light on the underside off the wings! Also look at the thickness off the trailing edge. Edited April 19, 2014 by 31Tiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dragonlance Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) 31 Tiger, than you very much for the Mirage pictures (and the answer on F-104). Vedran EDIT Since you offer, do you have any close-up photos of French Mirage 5F noses? Edited April 19, 2014 by dragonlance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
31Tiger Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Since you offer, do you have any close-up photos of French Mirage 5F noses? Nope, nothing usefull, I have been searching trough a lot of boxes full of paper pictures and slides taken in the late eighties and nineties. Lots of Mirage stuff but nothing close-up. The digital walkarounds are all off museum displays. I do have a acces to a real Mirage 5BA that is in pretty good shape where i work :woot.gif:/> Some pictures of a French IIIR (not Mirage 5R !)
