michelaustralia Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi Gents, My latest built, the 1/72 PJ Production Mirage 5F. As usual, the base of the model is the High Planes Models plastic injected Mirage sprues, with the addition some very nice resin bits, like the 1700L drop tanks, the seat etc...and a little bit of photo-etch for the mirrors and a ladle. The exhaust is the HPM resin one. Michel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lulldapull Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I had the opportunity to see these new PJ boxings at the Melbourne expo back in June. The panel lines looked quite exaggerated. That turned me off toward the kit, but your model looks superb Michel......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michelaustralia Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks guys, I had the opportunity to see these new PJ boxings at the Melbourne expo back in June. The panel lines looked quite exaggerated. That turned me off toward the kit, but your model looks superb Michel......... Hi Lulldapull, The panel line heavy look is due a to little radiuses at the base of the engraved details. Sure it doesn't look good when opening the box, but once done, we hardly notice it. I didn't do any sanding in order to reduce the panel lines, just used a bit of wash and here we go. But maybe it's better to void to natural metal finish schemes.

lulldapull Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 yeah you're probably right.......a bit of a dark wash should hide them a bit. yours looks good all done up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
