colargol Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Hello, During almost 5 years, I have worked on this model, using several other ones to produce a Mirage G8-01. It was a prototype in the 70's and the aircraft is currently presented in the aerospace museum in Le Bourget in France. I went there to take a lot of pictures for my build to be as accurate as possible. I draw the plans from photos (At that thime, I hadn't the Mirage F1 book which include wonderful 1/72 plans). Even if the new Modelsvit kit is forseen, I am happy to share these pictures (and I am looking forward for the Modelsvit kit too !) I have used pieces from: - 1 Heller Mirage IV A (part of the main body, air intake, part of the tail) - 2 Heller Mirage III (nose and cockpit bathtubs) - 1 Heller Mirage F1 (dorsal spine) - 2 Fujimi F-14 (main landing gear Wheels) - 1 Italeri SH-60 (front landing gear wheels) - 1 Italeri F-14 (parts of the wings and flaps) - 1 Airfix F-15 (air intake souris, from a F-15 belly tank) - 1 Hasegawa F-14B (jet exhaust, horizontal stabs and leading edge slats) Windscreen and canopies are coming from Heller Mirage, but I can't remember what is what ... Seats are from Palva, and decals are from Carpena (roundel), from Heller ("ne pas marcher" - equivalent of "no step" in French) and home made. The rest is mostly from Evergreen 😉 colargol Edited April 8, 2023 by colargol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
