Title: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: Slerski on January 18, 2012, 06:23:39 AM: Hi there everybody. Here I'll post all my models, real or not, only for you who love me 8) (Yes I'm very very humble (like Tigers :D)).

Let's beginning with this :

So tell us a little more about this creation.

To be short (I work on backstory and caracteritics)

It's a Mirage G1 (G for Géométrie Variable). It's a pure interceptor, basically a Mirage F1 fuselage with variable geometry wings (for this model reshaped MiG-23 wings). Using Atar 9K50.

Post by: finsrin on January 23, 2012, 01:02:01 PM: Passes for a real life flier. I think the swing wings make it aircraft carrier compatible.

Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: Brian da Basher on February 03, 2012, 08:16:04 AM: Looks great, Slerski! I like the contrast between that nice upper color and the silver of the drop tanks and pylons. I don't know if the underside is silver, but I think that's be a great way to go. I'm very impressed with the sharp demarcation of the nose and the anti-glare panel.

Your teaser is neat too. I like the cranked wintips.

The underside is in fact, silver (more exactly in mat aluminium) :)

These were colors used by Mirage F1 from CAFDA (Commandement Air des Forces de Défense Aérienne - Air Defense Forces Command ) from '70 to early 2000.

Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: elmayerle on March 11, 2012, 09:34:04 AM: I love your Mirage G.1; may I have permission to borrow the idea for one of my own, perhaps even a "little fellar" in 1/144? I do have a question, the current WIP, is it the Fujimi F-35B kit or is it one of the kits based on the X-35B? I'm thinking of using the "guts" of a X-35B or F-35B and a larger-scale X-36 to do what should have come from St. Louis if they hadn't chosen a faulty mode for powering their lift-fan.

You have the permission :) I stole this idea to Dassault Aviation

For the current WIP, it's the Italeri X-35B.

to mister BdB :

I took an Heller Mirage F1CR kit and a Academy Mig-23S. Take your better cutting tool then cut the wing and apex from the Mig, put them on the Mirage and here we are !! (add a serious PSR session before :P)
Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: taiidantomcat on March 15, 2012, 10:46:57 AM: I like them all but that swing wing is something else. Can't believe how "right" that looks :D
Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: Rafael on March 15, 2012, 08:19:50 PM: Ditto!

Love the way you made the apex look so french, too.

What he said! I often thought about whiffing a 262 and it's great to see your take on it, Slerski!

I really like the twin engined one! Can't wait to see what happens next!

This one is a kind of french pre-ww2 light fighter (same requirement than Caudron CR714 or Arsenal VG33). Powerful engine with light weight structure, armament. Maybe a point-defense fighter ?

This one is basically an updated Nord Griffon :P powered by two jet engines and a ramjet (is that the right term for statoreacteur ?)
Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: Tophe on January 25, 2013, 01:52:40 AM: Yes, our statoréacteur is the English ramjet. I clap my hands again: congratulations!
Is this all scratchbuilding? or did you use commercial kits for those 3 marvels?
Title: Re: From Slerski's mind (and from reality too !!)
Post by: Slerski on January 25, 2013, 03:53:59 AM: Only commercial kits, not enough skilled for full scratchbuilds.

For the ramjet fighter, it's an Academy YF-16A and an old wreck of MiG-21.
For the Me-262 winged bomber, an Hobby Boss Me-262 and AModel Yak-210
And for the small fighter, Smer D520 and PM Me 328
