Hi there everybody. Here I'll post all my models, real or not, only for you who love me

(Yes I'm very very humble (like Tigers

)).

Let's beginning with this :

Mirage F1 swinger? Got my attention!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #2 on:** January 18, 2012, 04:58:10 PM »

So tell us a little more about this creation.

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #3 on:** January 18, 2012, 09:53:20 PM »

That looks natural so far. Great Idea!

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.

Intriging ! I like it !

Slerski · « **Reply #6 on:** January 20, 2012, 05:58:12 AM »

Merci beaucoup messieurs :)

The beast is actually under painting...

apophenia · « **Reply #7 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:34:58 AM »

Nice work Slerski. Your Mirage G1 looks more svelte and ready-for-business than the Real World Mirage G!

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #8 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:54:55 AM »

And I am one of the ones that love you and your models

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #9 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:56:48 AM »

Wow looks long and lean and ready for action!

Can't wait until she hits the paint shed!

Thank you very much !! Your comments give the FORCE to do my best.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2012, 05:46:14 PM »

Looking forward to see this completed! Keep it up :)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2012, 03:04:34 AM »

Coming along nicely. Thanks for the info too.

finsrin · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2012, 01:02:01 PM »

Passes for a real life flier. I think the swing wings make it aircraft carrier compatible.

Slerski · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:06:16 AM »

Some little progress : paint is ok, weps are ready just need to do the bang seat and canopy

And for my followers, a small teaser !!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #15 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.

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2012, 06:20:50 AM »

That Mirage is just spellbinding!

Wow!!!

Can't wait to see the F-35B unfold

finsrin · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2012, 02:07:46 PM »

What to say,,, I am lined up with the others looking forward to seeing these beauties take shape.

Merci beaucoup tout le monde :)

The planes are close to completion, waiting the 'matt' coat

elmayerle · « **Reply #22 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.

Sentinel Chicken · « **Reply #23 on:** March 11, 2012, 11:03:44 AM »

Slick idea on that F1- that gives me a few ideas in my world of Braille Scale (1/144)....

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

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

Magnifique Mirages!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #30 on:** March 15, 2012, 04:24:02 AM »

Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous!

How do you do it?

Brian da Basher

Slerski · « **Reply #31 on:** March 15, 2012, 05:40:57 AM »

Thank you very much everybody !!

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

)

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #32 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

Rafael · « **Reply #33 on:** March 15, 2012, 08:19:50 PM »

Ditto!

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

Doom! · « **Reply #34 on:** March 15, 2012, 10:51:56 PM »

Very nicely done! :)

Slerski · « **Reply #35 on:** March 16, 2012, 02:57:11 AM »

Merci everybody :)

Slerski · « **Reply #36 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:32:50 AM »

Good evening everybody. This is the weekend's end and I want to post some WIP :)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #37 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:36:36 AM »

Intriguing...

Slerski · « **Reply #38 on:** April 16, 2012, 02:40:24 AM »

The twin-engined 190 is based after one of your profiles if I remember well

finsrin · « **Reply #39 on:** April 16, 2012, 05:09:49 AM »

These are right-on builds. Pumps up my bashing blood pressure. :)

Tophe · « **Reply #40 on:** April 16, 2012, 09:58:10 AM »

Interesting. More explanations would be welcome to appreciate further. :)

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!

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #42 on:** June 01, 2012, 09:36:40 AM »

That Mirage G-1 is really TOP NOTCH!!!

Slerski · « **Reply #43 on:** September 02, 2012, 07:52:37 PM »

This is something that my girlfriend dislike... Here's the Stash :)

But I don't add the two dozen of models built at various states of progression...

Tophe · « **Reply #44 on:** September 02, 2012, 08:48:43 PM »

With the doubles, will you make Zwillings?

ChrisF · « **Reply #45 on:** September 07, 2012, 09:29:24 AM »

Zwilling TSR-2 !?!? OH YESS !!

father ennis · « **Reply #49 on:** January 22, 2013, 09:04:26 AM »

WOW !!!!!! Those are really great looking ... !!! I can't wait to see them finished and painted !!! Keep up the great work !!!

finsrin · « **Reply #50 on:** January 22, 2013, 09:06:00 AM »

All three are cool

Is nurishment for our kitbashing minds :)

Doom! · « **Reply #51 on:** January 22, 2013, 11:48:44 AM »

I'm favoring the third picture, I really like the shape of that one.

Tophe · « **Reply #52 on:** January 22, 2013, 12:51:14 PM »

My favorite is the first one (delta canard with extra jets at wing-tips), while the others are great too!

apophenia · « **Reply #53 on:** January 22, 2013, 01:24:11 PM »

The one with the D.520 nose is wild! What are the other components?

Slerski · « **Reply #54 on:** January 23, 2013, 01:51:05 AM »

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 ?

Quote from: Tophe on January 22, 2013, 12:51:14 PM

This one is basically an updated Nord Griffon

powered by two jet engines and a ramjet (is that the right term for statoreacteur ?)

Tophe · « **Reply #55 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?

Slerski · « **Reply #56 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

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #57 on:** January 28, 2013, 05:46:34 AM »

Now that's a killer trio of sleek, metal birds! I can't wait for final roll-out!
