Mirage Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 hi guys do you like the Mirage ???? I do !!!!! here is my last build . A conversion from " Scaleworx " , the base is the Revell / Italieri kit .... It wasn't a cool journey , I had to fill gaps , sand down , sometimes improvised , but despite the issues , I enjoyed building this kit .. I replaced the conversion seats , which are rather nice though , with the seats from " sparkit " .....any critics , and comments are welcome .. thanks !!!!!! cheers Alain 7 the "Sparkit "seats 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Really nice Alain. How did the Scaleworx pieces fit? They were great on the Cheetah C kit but I just wondered if the two-seater forward fuselage fitted as well as that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 These sleek lines of a Mirage, what's not to like there. Yours look wonderful Alain and has a great finish and great detailing especially around the cockpit. Welcome to LSM, where there were some Mirage derivate builds in the last time, all interesting to watch. Cheers Rob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 What a brilliant build. You would think that I would have built every version of the Mirage there is as I am South African, but alas, I haven't. Need to fix that. Well done Alain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Thanks for the info Alain. Mistral on LSP also previously built the Cheetah C and I have to say I followed his process religiously as it help sort a number of the issues with the base kit and the conversion. The fit of the intakes on the Cheetah was also problematic but some it was down to gaps in the Revell kit. As you say though, filler, sanding sticks and perseverance can solve a lot of problems! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
