New Designer!!??

[John Bowden]

OK............ have you guys known about this and didn't tell me.

Found this and the other model on ebay here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._promot_widget

Got both of them cause..................they were inexpensive, and have started the Mirage F-1 (1/32 scale!)...............

It's a little different on the design but it's going together very well. I apologize to the designer, for my poor build................pictures later.............. but the F-1 has:

237 parts
25 pages with instructive diagrams and tool tips
Full cockpit
Wheel wells
Weapons
Weathering
Clear canopy templates............. My plastic was too thick so I had to resort to paper
Detailed Landing Gear

I have not looked at the Boeing 737 (1/48 scale!) but if it's as good as the Mirage it is nice.

Again a little different style in design but not too different from what I'm used to. Parts are VERY well marked............ instructions are drawings and can be a little perplexing at times, but can and have been figured out.

Check him out on ebay.................. I think I'm going to see if I can email him and invite him to check out the place.............. Oh............. Nobi.............. he's in Thailand

Picture of the completed build will be forth comming................ it's a big bird too by the way!

Looks like a nice kit John.... and at a very fair price as well... I tried to download the PDF's but got a file error on them.

Hey Julian,

I have not tried the sample pdfs............. I bit the bullet and plopped down the paypal, but I'll tell ya I'm glad I did.

The full files are locked and he sends you a code................ the Mirage is nice and I have been looking for one so I jumped at the prospect...............when ahead and got the 737 too.

Welcome to the site............ I think you'll like it!

I'm going to post some pics of the Mirage I'm building............... I apologize again for not doing justice to your design...............the plastic I had was too thick and would not work for the canopy.

@ timm4713 :

Do you have any permission, to use the logo and name of the airline?? If not, it could be veeery expensive to you! They have been very hard in the past, against any unauthorized use! Especially, if you want to have money for it!

I know, what i´m talking about. I´m a hobby-designer myself, and i know, why i keep my hands away from civilian-models!

@Ralf

thank you for the info
and i know, i allso wont make anymore real airliners
becouse of that and fictional liveries are not so intressting
but lets change back to the topic

@john
yeah im looking forward to see some pics of the the build

Ralf ich waehre dir sehr dankbar wenn du das namen der airline in lufthan* oder so umeditieren wuerdest, schoene gruesse nach deutschland und vielmals dank

i was just looking for detail stuff of an ef2000 i want to design a high detail
eurofighter in 1/20 made on frame work or something
allways the same im not that effectiv in developing becous im making more then one at a time

Ralf what programs do you use for unfolding
im working on pepakura 2 maybe its un profesional but im used to it
any suggesions

[ramatoto]

@ timm :

You´re welcome. No problem, to edit the name.

And to your question: i don´t use any unfolding software. I prefer the good old kind. I use Corel-Draw, three or four side drawings, and maaaany reference pictures. It takes much time to create a model like i do, but i can say, it´s really self-made

Best wishes to Thailand!
