Ten (10) major fixes to upgrade the 1/48 scale Mirage IVP from Heller to a new level. Heller is the only company that makes the giant Mirage IVP in styrene in 1:48 scale.

    Great review Monty, I agree with all those points. For those who want to do inflight, its not that hard a conversion, its just tedious gluing in the multiple doors instead of having single pieces, and you need to do a fair bit of sanding and dry fitting before committing. There are also some mold seam lines on the tail and fuselage to be removed, but this take 10 seconds with a ceramic scraper. Cheers Chris

    @FinsburyPhil Před 15 dny

    I no longer use any solvent based paints. A good water-based acrylic (Ammo Atom or AK 3G) can be thinned with tap water for colouring straps and I've found that by keeping it thin, you can apply several coats of different tones for a realistic look.

    • @mdanumurthi
      @mdanumurthi Před 15 dny

      Thats a great alternative, Phil! Water base paints are less toxic and less smelly too.

  • @silentumexcubitor6747

    VERY EXCELLENT WORK!....except for those tracks!.... The quality that makes the tracks so unrealistic, rounded, not conforming to the wheels, is called "memory".... The tracks are molded flat, and want to stay that way. So when you force them around the wheels, they want to make a circle. (Look at pics of the real 1/2track....) But you can carefully OVER-bend them to fit around the wheels much better. It's much easier to do, than to explain in words here! Also, the Tamiya tracks are slightly too long. Cutting off the end connectors shortens them perfectly. The Dragon 1/2 tracks look much better in this area....

    • @mdanumurthi
      @mdanumurthi Před 17 dny

      Agree, Dragon version is way better. I have another Tamiya halftrack and i will try your track tips on that build. Thanks!

    As a Mechanized Infantryman from back in the day, you are 100% correct that gear HAS to be strapped down, else it goes flying off. The only exception was we were able to "wedge" several full ammo cans for the .50 around the TC's cupola on our M113's and they would stay put, but that was it. Inside and out, everything was strapped in/on. Very nice video, Sir. Subbed.
