Greetings chaps,
Although this is a WW2 site, I have seen a few modern builds being posted. If it is out of place, I will surely remove the thread.
Yet another SAAF bird from me.... (what can I say... I grew up in the SAAF)....
This is the Italeri Mirage 3 E kit, entirely rescribed, converted to the Cheetah E standard, using the Scaleworx resin conversion set. This was my first attempt at a decent resin conversion set, using a Kfir cockpit (close enough eh). New resin items on the kit include the following:
Canards, nose, tail pipe, dogtooth lead edge inserts, wheels, IFR probe, and various lumps and bumps.
I finished the aircraft using some Scaleworx 'Lo-Viz' Mirage F1CZ paints that were produced from paint chips from an F1CZ. Aircraft was finished (as always), with Tam clear cotes, and weathered with pastels.
A quick line up with 2 other SAAF deltas I've build... a Mirage 3 R2Z (converted using the Scaleworx set, and painted using the Scaleworx 'Old School' Mirage paint set), and a Mirage 3 EZ.. straight out the box. All kits are Italeri, and have been rescribed.
