Saab 35 Draken MikroMir-kit1:72
My original idea was to have the canopy be able to open and close, but the Micro Liquitape wasn't strong enough to keep ...
Proiect: Saab J35XS Draken "Special edition"

Very cool, I'm getting the Mikro Mir kit, interested to hear how it goes together

Welcome, mates! I'm building also a Hasegawa kit alongside with this for comparison and for testing painting.

Łukasz, I was thinking the same. That 'old' Hasegawa kit isn't that bad after all. The MikroMir kit is only marginally more refined as it seems.

Hasegawa has only 60 grey parts and 3 clear parts, but it is pretty smartly made and easy to build. MikroMir has 150 grey parts, 5 clear parts and 67 mandatory PE-parts. Being a short-run kit its parts need more work to fit. Still MikroMir contains more details (and Falcon missiles) than Hasegawa so it's comparatively cheaper.

OK, so you do think the MikroMir kit is the more detailed one? Good to know when I get to my Austrian Draken project (sometimes this century.... )! Following your build with interest! 👍

Well my background research is still going on, but atleast the cockpit is more detailed.

I have to update that MikroMir's IRST is not as good as Hasegawa's. The seeker head is a clear part and there is one PE-part fin, but the two-part frame is bulky and doesn't have panel lines. Luckyly the Draken version I'm goingt to make doesn't have an IRST so I used the clear part and the PE-part to improve my Hasegawa-Draken's IRST.

Slow progress, but I'm very proud of this simple tool that I made in 15 min to make 0,8mm diameter styrene circles.

Man. Struggling away with the clear parts on my RF-8 right now. Toughest part of modeling probably. Nice work on your canopy!

Thanks! @Rando I agree it is one of the most tough and riskiest parts. They took me 3 days because I wanted to make them pretty shiny with Humbrol Clear, but it takes lots of time to dry and it has become too thick. Next day when I check the clear parts they have some ugly residues and unevenness +hair. On the other part I just sanded and polished some minor points, but the other part I cleaned the varnish away with isopropanol and tried to dip it in varnish again. Next day still unevenness so I just sanded and polished them avay and dipped it in my more reliable floor polish that also dries faster.

Yeah I've always had that with dipping parts in the floor polish, it doesn't dry evenly for me so I just polish with Tamiya and Novus compound. Good to get over the hump and onto painting and decals!

Bad luck with painting. I have to redo the top surface by removing most of the paint. It was a bad idea to preshade yellow with pink.

I've had better luck using tamiya XF-3 or any other flat yellow and following with a gloss varnish.
Gunze gloss yellow, orange, white etc are virtually useless to cover anything.

Yeah my choice of paints haven't been perfect, but I have settled for them and now the decals have been added. The big wisent needs some fixing.

Looking good! Given how short lived that scheme was, no preshading is probably the right call anyway 🙂

I hope this gets finished in one day, because only landing gears are missing. I almost ruined this model with bad painting and bad choise of gloss varnish.

Thanks J35J, Clement, Podkon and Mimoid! The model is now ready, but I will take better photos tomorrow.

Interesting techniques on building up the afterburner can. Outside of metallics, yellow is a hard color to paint IMHO, and you pulled it off perfectly I. This build! ❤️

Done lots of filling and sanding to get the wing and the fuselage of the first Kfir to fit. Started rescribing and getting the second on to the same state.

I also got this kit (the Italeri one) when I was child, in the middle of the '90's. So it's an awful kit, but that time wasn't better. So, I'm curious for the result.

Welcome István! The Revell is just a rebox of the Italeri kit with nicer decals and a different instruction manual 😉

Nice start, I remember building this kit as a two tone grey Israeli bird a long time ago. Which scheme are you going with?

The Revell one has only decals for the camo scheme, so the Italeri one will be the grey one. Maybe I get my hands on the AMK kit before I get to the decals, then the Italeri will maybe get the Atac livery.
But first there will be some more sanding and filling the sink marks that are now visible. I also made some scribing mistakes, so this needs some putty as well.

Decided to go with the Atac camo with the Italeri Kfir. The Revell one already has the Isralei camo and decals on the undeside. Also I broke off the petot tube again. This time it stays off until the last moment.

Small update from the last couple of weeks: decals from the AMK kit for the Kfir 401 from Atac were applied, along with some from the Italerim kit itself. Also the landing gear was attached to both aircraft. Ready for final smaller paintjobs, weathering and some antennae and the landing gear bay doors.
