Title: Belgian Mirage 5 (PJ 1/72)
Post by: draken35 on February 13, 2019, 06:29:04 PM
In parallel with the 1/48 Mirage 5 from Wingman, I'm beginning another one but at 1/72 scale from PJ.
New tooling kit with all the interpanels more discrete...

I've assembled the wings and the fuselage. As I will use the "late" tail, I just had to use a little bit of Tamiya White Putty on the back of the fuselage.
Annoying was the fact that a bubble in the resin damaged the tail of her forward extremity. I've decide tu use the forward part of the "early" tail that I've cut at the good dimension. Will glue that very soon...

You put me on puzzle, now I will go to see what was early and late tail :))

The resin tail was slightly curved so I put it in hot water to correct it. Then I glued the part in place and finally the little part from the early tail...
Putty (Miliput I think) will be needed now...

Thank you.
Putty was needed; I've used Magic plastic putty and Vallejo putty. Little antennas in photoetch are in place.

Both putties are excellent ones I must say...
Title: Re: Belgian Mirage 5 (PJ 1/72)
Post by: draken35 on March 18, 2019, 07:40:17 PM
After some control, I have to admit that putty was still needed...

Post by: draken35 on September 15, 2019, 06:29:48 PM
Still busy with the PJ kit...
Little work but important one: the Mirages 5 "late" had a little part on the left side of the fuselage that is not present in the box kit...
Made with Evergreen.

Well... If I would'nt have to work so intensively on the Mark one Mirage 5 to obtain an "accepatble" result, perheaps I would not be so precise for the PJ.
But the PJ is a beautiful kit that ask for... Well, let say: "respect" ;-)

Perfect putty was used between the nose and the front of the fuselage. Then the sensors were positionned. The "mouses" received Tamiya Black Panel Liner.

I find this a good place to ask you all---do you always put on decals in the same sequence, or start in different places on different airplanes? I always start on the bottom, then left or right, then top wing. A silly question, but interesting to me...

Not a silly question Scott, an interresting one indeed!
Habitually I begin with cockades, codes and finish with little ones (servitude, serials...).

But with that Mirage as you can see my method is different. And it's a better one I must say: you bnegin with one side, protect the decals with MicroSol and let dry before to continue... More secure for the good positioning of decals!

Hello friends,
I'm back after lot of works at home... But that's out of topic ;-)
I've finished to apply panel liner on the left side of the fuselage.
It's so good to continue with the Mirage  :-love
