SAAF Mirage F1-AZ - Part 2
Comments
Album info
Work continue. Kit is suplied with 3 different variants of dashboard, I choose one, that looked similar to AZ type. Painting it wasn't easy and maybe PE part would be great here. I painted it black and made white wash to highlight any details. Cockpit was painted and glued inside fuselage. Fuselage halves was easy to glue together but I had to use putty to seal the gaps. I used Tamiya polyester for this purpose because I was afraid that regular putty could show gaps after few weeks again. I had to rescribe few lines on fuselage too.
I glued together plastic nose from kit and than made measurements to cut it. Attaching resin nose was easy job, but required some putty. Once it was done, I connected nose part to fuselage and fill the gap with Tamiya epoxy putty again.
Wings needs to be modified. I had to thin lower part so it can join upper part properly (othervise almost 1mm step will occure). I also dry fitted vertical stabilizer.
