Greetings, cafe.
I wonder if you've considered adding an IAI Lavi to round out your Mirage family?
Considering it's just about the last version of the family to be developed and flown, it would make a nice companion to the Kfir and it's parent.

Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

The Kfirs you can see on the last pic are not mine, they're a design by Chaiwat Kosatanakom. I just added a paper canopy and a landing gear.

I don't plan on making a Lavi but Paragon has one.

I just recently talk with Werner about the Cheetah, a fighter jet made by the south Africa that having the same original model: the Mirage V. Probably I will design it if there is some time available.

Don't forget the Cheetah C has a longer fuselage than the Cheetah E and the rest of the Mirage IIIE/5/50 family. A plug was added between the cockpit and the air intakes. The canards seem to be different too. (Yes I want to make one). Here is a very nice build of a plastic Cheetah C (that user has built a lot of Mirage and derivatives).

Gomidefilho, você quer fazer um F-103E da FAB?

Olá Cafe Na verdade sou fanático pela família Mirage, acho lamentável que não exista um bom kit de papel do Mirage IIIE e seus derivados, a intenção é fazer sim F-103 da FAB

Também sou fanático do Mirage. Vou ver se consigo fazer o Mirage 5F/Nesher e a versão de treinamento.

I'm also a fan of the Mirage family. I'll see if I can do the Mirage 5F/Nesher and the two-seater. More variants later.

I think a 1:100 model would need a 3D landing gear and 3D missiles but I can scale up the model. It's vectors.

Test build # 8 is an anonymous Mirage 5F/Nesher/Dagger. The camo scheme is part of what I test.

Build pics here.

Edit : all test-builds including number 6 (a standard IIIE) that I still haven't built.

Cafe,

I thought you are coloring the bw print outs with markers.
It answers the question of why the colors are so more
vibrant than those from the home printers.

The wheels for the main gear. How come you aren't using
chipboard/cardboard in 2 or 4 layers to give thickness to them.
It's a lot faster than making a ring and then gluing the two
outer circles. Being faithful to paper I guess?

Jeff

Yes, faithful to paper... and I've never used cardboard. The wheels are also quite small (diameter: 3.7 mm).

I'm using markers for the test builds because it's easier to correct errors afterwards (I'm testing the camo patterns). I'm also having color issues with my printer but the pdfs will have different color schemes.
