Would be great to see the progress of your build… Hi, not finished yet! On early June I left Milan to go to my holiday place in Tuscany, I will continue the job when I will be back in September. Before leaving I just gave a coat of the lower surface color and a coat of the main upper color. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a holiday place in Tuscany? That‘s one of the most beautiful regions in Italy. Have been there once very close to Siena on an agriculture. Enjoy your stay there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto49 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hello everybody, after a lot of time I come back to my Shahak project. In facts, when I came back from my vacation place, I got almost immediately involved in a big commitment regarding the inauguration of the new church just finished to build in the area where I live, so modelling was put aside for another two and half months. But eventually, I stared painting the camou, see pictures if you like. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also painted and decalled supplementary fuel tanks. Next will be to work on fading upper surface colors. By the way, Happy New Year !!!

alberto49 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Many thanks for your nice comments! By the way, during last Summer, when I was in my holiday place, I started a little project that I just completed. It's totally different from my usual subjects, it's made by an Italian company called "Revival" and it's in 1:20 scale. Look here: 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Just catching up with your work Alfredo, pretty impressive. Building jets takes lots of patience due to the complicated nature of their assembly, you make it look easy. cheers Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Looks very nice Alberto. Great work with the decals! One thing regarding the taxi-lights on the front landing gear: it is not installed on Israeli Mirage III CJs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mean time I've found that blue color of Israeli star is probably too pale and I'm preparing new darker ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
