I concur with Carlos...I think it will be the Yak130 and then maybe the Chinese supersonic version.

Close, but not quite.
First had to do a little sidestep to the T-X program

OMG... I have been waiting for this one!!!

I've updated my old SAAF Mirage IIIB/C in bare metal and added 2 examples in standard camo. I've also added a few more what-if Mirage 2000 in SAAF livery, including 2 2000B in grey camo (current and previous national insignia with eagles rather than springboks).

I've also made a Cheetah E but I don't think it's ready for prime time. I didn't have time for a D and the C needs more design work (nose and IFR probe).

Hello Carlos, Beautiful Mirages. Just one question: Shouldn't you add the small triangular pieces that go before the engine inlets (don't remember the official name)? I believe Bruno does provide these for the 1/300 model.

I don't remember Bruno providing the shock cones ("mice", "souris" in Dassault's jargon) for his 1:300 Mirages (2000, IV, G, G4). They would be too small for the closed intakes these models use.

Sorry Carlos, you are right! I got confused with 1/100 models I srunk to 1/300 for F104....total confusion!! My apologies.

There's nothing to be sorry about!

(though I did add them to the 1:300 F-104 resized to 1:200 but that model has "open" air intakes so I could make the shock cones bigger as part of them would fit inside the intake)

TT

Dear all,

lately (well, about ten months now) my work has taken a much larger part of my life and I have become much less interactive on this forum. Very often I spent one or more nights away from home and when I do get home, life and fatigue keep me from responding to posts or even e-mails. I try to catch up during the weekends but I also try to design heaps of models in those two days.

This is probably not so much a nuisance to you as it is a frustration to me.

Know that I want to be more active than I am, especially in admiring the work of the bunch of wonderful designers, builders and supporting friends you are.

thanks for everything.
B
