Hi All,

Here are some photos of my Mirage Type IXD2 taken by Vic, still think he should have been working but he assures me he was at break !!!!!

Nice - what's the scale?

Kewl!

Hi All,

Glad you like it, I intend to pick up a few more of these 1/400 scale kits as and when I see them.

Regarding the question as to whats next, well like many modellers I have more than one project on the go, at present I have a 1/72 scale Vosper MTB in the early stage of painting, I am learning to hate the RN and their WWII paint schemes (LOL), also onthe table (at this point I will duck in case of incoming) a 1/32 scale YAK-18 aircraft (lots of scratch building in that one, a 1/32 Nieuport 23 again with a total rebuild of the cockpit along with lots of other detail work, to finish it all off I am gathering as much information on U-558 as possible (if anyone can help I would be thankful) as it is this boot that I intend to model in 1/72.

As if that was not enought to keep me out of harms way I have several other U-Boots planned with the possibility of a British X-Craft.

Thanks to Vic for the photos

Well you did ask.

PeteV

Hey Pete,

Would some custom mask help with the Vosper? I have some of the camo.

Kenny,

Thanks for the offer of masks for the MTB but I have just about got it mastered, very kind of you thought.

PeteV

No worries mate.

Just offering.

Peter, your model is very nice, very beautiful. I suppose that in this scale is very difficult to build it. Your building and painting is very good. Let me to know about the proyect with the WWI aircrafts (Nieuport). I have in my workshop several models (sopwith, nieuport, Bristol...and I hope to buy the RAF be12b and RAF Se5a, all in 1/48 scale). I am learning (reading) about the methodology and process to build them.

I hope to return soon with the u-boat XXIII.

Regards Peter and congratulation for your model.

No problem Pete, may be I'll get a chance to photograph the boots I'm doing.

Better get round to finishing one first though :-)
