Anyone got Mirages?

Prosit Marco,

Probably no one in Malta has done such a quick research in just few hours ... but how we are we modellers, such a delicate news we comply to get details of the planes right!


Duncan you should go for it ... ejja mate!

But they have no joysticks outside the cockpit for reverse mode!!!!

Something better than photos:

Those look to be rocketpods not drop tanks Marco, so it looks these were really armed up! Notice the rocket ends in the photo were the pilot is captured without his helmet.

Here is something for he tank guys ... looks to be in Bengazhi, it's a T55



And this a rare beast a T72M1s during a parade ...

Just bought the Italeri F1 CT/CR kit......

Next will be the NeOmega cockpit and libyan decals.....

All bought.....

I will need some help with a figure and scenery later on....

That's the spirit Duncan! Which ones those on Maltapark?

Difficult gonna be to create the aluminium ladder not the figure, look at the images Adrian posted ... so cool!

Weathering is gonna be a breeze! theres virtually no weathering on the aircraft, no faded paint, no dirty panel lines, no chipping, no stains! just dirty tires

I have also solved the Aircraft numbering problem Adrian said about it yesterday... one of the aircraft in Malta is 508. The decals I bought for the Lbyan Air Force comes with 2 sets of numbers.... 510 and 408... so all I need to do is take the 5 from one of the sets and use it with the 408 to create 508!!

I was thinking about that earlier on today... if you are lucky enough to be given the numbers through 2 different registrations.
If this kit and aftermarket your buying are good.. i will do the other aicraft

I think these two "unsung heroes" should have kamikaze'd their Mirages in Gaddafi's quarters while he was addressing the Libyan TV

THAT IS A HEROIC ACT not defecting

They are cowards not heroes

ASOLUTELY RIGHT RAY
a hero would rather die fighting for his people and not run away to safety

Whatever ... but then how would have we put two Mirages on Maltapark if they end up destroyed!

I am going to COMMENT on this on FB, since I put the link as my status yesterday

They could have saved SO MANY with SO FEW especially the influx of fleeing Libyans who would surely "invade" our shores first & foremost
