Dassault F-1C Mirage - Minicraft 1/144

[Guest]

Hello mates, waiting for wax and putty to dry on the Tomcat I just started this one.

Differently from the other kits I built this one has finely recessed panel lines, thin trailing edges and fits very well. Only drawbacks are the canopy not perfectly transparent and the decals out of register.

As said just a drop of putty is required on wing connection to the fuselage.

I am struggling at the moment in a small robot but you always amaze Francesco in your 1/144 scale...I know it will be as detailed as your other builds.

Thanks Si

Based on a picture I found I did few mods: closed air intake on the fuselage side, drilled holes on air brakes, added pipes and air scoop (?) on the aft fuselage, small things on cockpit.

Nice start Francesco, you are turning these little jets out at a good speed.

[Guest]

Don't know how you do it Francesco, this is way to small for me to play with.

[Guest]

Thank you mates, I hope not to disappoint you.

I've found a nice pic with flaps and slats down and really liked it.

Should I try to cut them now? I'm afraid I may do a disaster.
