Belgian Mirage 5 (PJ 1/72)

[draken35]

In parallel with the 1/48 Mirage 5 from Wingman, I'm beginning another one but at 1/72 scale from PJ.
New tooling kit with all the interpanels more discrete...

looking forward to see it done !

I've assembled the wings and the fuselage. As I will use the "late" tail, I just had to use a little bit of Tamiya White Putty on the back of the fuselage.
Annoying was the fact that a bubble in the resin damaged the tail of her forward extremity. I've decide tu use the forward part of the "early" tail that I've cut at the good dimension. Will glue that very soon...

You put me on puzzle, now I will go to see what was early and late tail

[draken35]

😄

The resin tail was slightly curved so I put it in hot water to correct it. Then I glued the part in place and finally the little part from the early tail...
Putty (Miliput I think) will be needed now...

Just small gap, it's almsot perfect

[draken35]

Yes, not too hard...

[modellius]

fitted very nice, well done

[draken35]

Thank you.
Putty was needed; I've used Magic plastic putty and Vallejo putty. Little antennas in photoetch are in place.

[No.1]

All right, understand... will get one of this Vallejo putty, you did tremendous job with it

[draken35]

Both putties are excellent ones I must say...

[draken35]

After some control, I have to admit that putty was still needed...
