Kaireckstadt Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 Just started yesterday with the build. Prepared the cockpit-tub and the IP for Eduard-Brass application. Also finished the IP. Eduard really offers so tiny parts which couldn’t even be held with tweezers. Wonder if they ever testbuild every part of every set they make... Next step will be the detailing of the tub. Cheers Kai 10 1

Kaireckstadt Posted February 18, 2021 Author Posted February 18, 2021 Last night I finished the installation of all Eduard-Brass in the cockpit. Will go on with painting of it now. The bangseat is a MB MK4 from Isracast. Will also get paint. 10
DocRob Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 That pit looks gorgeous with all that etch detail. The seat appears to be very big in the tub on the last pic, but will look great, when painted. Cheers Rob 6 1
Peterpools Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Kai Awesome start on your Mirage and looking mighty good. l'll be following very intently and taking notes, as I've been planning a Mirage build later this year - all my resin has been purchased from Isradecal and just need the Big Eduard set. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 1

Keep 'em comin Peter Thanks for your feedback, Peter! Are you going to build an Israeli too ? If you have the bangseat from Isracast you don’t need the straps and buckles set. I‘ve bought mine in vain (because I purchased IsraDecal and -Cast later...). Also much of the exterior set not needed because detail (e.g. wheel-wells) of the kit is very nice. Will come back to this in the progress of the build. 1 1
Peterpools Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Kai Planing on doing an Israeli Mirage as well. I bought the ejection seat, Atar engine set plus the Mirage IIIC 1962-1976. My build will be much later this year and color scheme will be chosen from the book. Peter 3

We have exactly the same stuff! The book is also a very good source. I also bought the decal-set from Raanan which includes a lot of options. I was also thinking about a colorful bare metal one but I love the 3-tone Israeli camouflage schemes (as well as the SEA-schemes of the US Air Force). Kai 3
GazzaS Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 That cockpit looks nice, Kai! I look forward to watching you build this one. 5
Peterpools Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Kai I know - tough decisions picking a scheme - good thing, I’ll have loads of time to make a decision Peter 4
Kaireckstadt Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 Cockpit painted black and weathering started with oil-colors on future base to pick out the details of the black parts. Fotos were taken with flashlight so that picking out of the details is better visible. Is much more subtle under normal light. Next step will be detail painting of the bangseat and smaller cockpit parts. 11
Peterpools Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Kai One good looking front office. Keep 'em coming Peter 1
Kaireckstadt Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Short update on the progress: Finished the detail-painting of the cockpit-parts. Since everything except the plugs was black I tried to pick the details out with a grey oil-wash and repainting of the details afterwards. Now I move over to the MK4-Seat and the small cockpit-parts (stick, throttle, etc.) 7
