as always you find the right way to make a project very interesting for me!
Congrats for your nice ideas!

one question about the Kit, why HobbyBoss, is this better than the Eduard MirageIII??
 5 April 2013, 08:45
Guus
Magnificent Dirk !
 5 April 2013, 08:50
Dirk Heyer
@ Oliver:
No, this kit is not really better as the Eduard one! It is in fact almost identical! 🙂
Eduard has more special features included, like a pilot figure and photo-etched parts for examble!
However the Hobbyboss is much cheaper. I bought this box for 15 Euro!!!
 5 April 2013, 10:31
Oliver Peissl
thanks for this info!
will you bring these begun parts with to heiden?
 5 April 2013, 11:48

... Mir fehlen irgendwie die Worte, was das Radar angeht... Vielleicht:"Du must ja vollkommen irre sein...!"?
Oder vielleicht: Wahnsinn!?
In jedem Falle aber: Supergeil gemacht, ich bin neidisch!!!😢

Small finger Dirk in action. Got you! You forgot to engrave the company logo on the pilot's suit zipper...😉
Holger's right - you're insane...and genius!😉

@Duncan;
a picture of Jim Carrey as Lady G. would have been enough!!! 😉
The music, ääh sry this noise is more than harrowing...... :/
@all:
thx for your nice comments!
@Christian:
there is no secret 🙂
Only a bunch of great pictures of friendly modellers in France!
Some amazing detail pictures are found on Swiss web pages.
I search for example with keywords like "CSF Cyrano II" to find the necessary detail pictures for my Mirage Radar!
Some nice books like this:
amazon.de/Mirage-III..-World/dp/B0042TRPCG
livres.histoireetcol..rsions-c-b-r-b2.html
livres.histoireetcol..ions-e-rd-be-5f.html

awesome ejection seat! 👍
 29 June 2013, 09:28
Dirk Heyer
Thx mates!
@ Luc:
At first I was searching for a resin replacement! As the cockpit is extremly narrow I didn`t want spending money, so I start to add some details out of plastic and lead foil and Magic Sculp!
Do you know a brand of photo-etched buckles, especially for Jet aircraft`s?
 29 June 2013, 09:41
Luc B
I think Reheat has some.
 29 June 2013, 09:43
Dirk Heyer
Reheat is available yet???
 29 June 2013, 09:44
Luc B
@Dirk: sorry I checked my stash, I had generic instrument panels from them not the buckles. But you could use following set? (depends on your vision of requiring fully accurate buckles) Buckles - Soviet Modern Air Force (Part S48-015, 1:48)

S48-015

Have done some minor add ons.
The basic cockpit parts are not bad of course, but I liked to achieve a more busy and technical appearance.
 10 July 2013, 13:45
Holger Kranich
Dirk, its looking great but one question, if you allow: The RBF tags on the bangseat; will you paint the white lettering or will you do it with little decals?
 10 July 2013, 14:05
Gerald
Nice
 10 July 2013, 14:14
Dirk Heyer
@ Holger

This RBF tags in usage of the Mirage III and their ejection seat, did not have any lettering.
Don`t assume this fact for all other tags on french aircraft`s !
Have in mind, the british Airforce was using in 1960 to 1970 only red/white striped tags without any lettering.
Maybe this practice is later on passed into official use?!
I can`t say why, but the french and south african airforce in 19 60 to 1970 seems to make an exception here?!
I could find only tags in red and no lettering.

Back to your question " How would I tackle that", if I would do so, I would using my Reheat Decals for this manner!

And of course, your questions my friend are always welcome!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Servus Dirk! Hast Du Dir schon mal überlegt für ein Modellbaumagazin, wie z.B. ModellFan, zu arbeiten? Die würden Dich dort mit offenen Armen empfangen. Im Ernst, ich würde dort an Deiner Stelle mal anklopfen.

Und ganz nebenbei: Das wird wieder ein unglaublich tolles Modell von Dir.
 20 August 2013, 16:42
Dirk Heyer
Many many thx, mates!
@ Bill
Now it is proven! I`m human!! Yippieh.......
Did an imbecile failure! The castle roundel on the right wing (picture 74) is wrong! The springbok on wings is each facing the fuselage. I could repair this, but now I`m looking for a new castle roundel for the upper side. A friend will help next WE! OMG, an error on the last step!
@ Stefan
Darüber nachgedacht habe ich! Bin immer noch am überlegen ob ich nicht doch lieber " Art of Modelling" fragen soll!
Das Magazin sagt mir von seiner Aufmachung mehr zu! Glaube aber die suchen eher Stahlblech Autoren?

@Dirk, das war in einer von den letzten Heften, glaube ich. Da war Deine Vampire das Foto des Monats, recht weit vorne im Heft. Es war ein doppelseitiger hochglanz Augenschmaus! Ich schau heute Abend mal in meine Sammlung und kann Dir genau sagen in welcher das war!
 21 August 2013, 12:37
Oliver Peissl
es war ein Bild von einer Ausstellung, ich meine aus Heiden...?
 21 August 2013, 13:29

Ja, ich glaube auch das es in Heiden aufgenommen wurde!
 21 August 2013, 13:40

Schön das man sowas im Nachhinein erfährt. Soso Doppelseite.
Na dann!
 21 August 2013, 18:16

Es ist in der Modellfan vom November 2012. Auf Seite 6 und sieben ist ein wunderschönes Foto von deiner Vampir unter der Überschrift "Blutsauger aus Holz und Metall"
Ich mach ein Foto und lade dir das morgen hoch!

Big Dilemma!!
A glass shelf with other models fell on my nearly finished Mirage III CZ!
I`m pretty upset!
The complete undercarriage, all aerials, pitots and the hole aux tanks as the center Rocket Matra are demolished!
At two to three points of the aluminum finish is destroyed...
I`m drinking a beer that moment and wanna start to rescue my model!
OMG! What happens?????????
 27 August 2013, 19:03
Christian Lehmann
Sch...e! Was ist den anderen Modellen passiert?
 27 August 2013, 19:08
Dirk Heyer
@ Christian:
Minor undercarriage damage to my Airacobra, Fennek and MB Truc are save!
🙂
 27 August 2013, 19:32

Dirk - ich kenne so etwas auch und kann Dir das nachfühlen. Nur sind meine Modelle in den blauen Sack gewandert - ich hatte und habe nicht den Nerv etwas zu restaurieren. Deshalb - meinen Respekt!

@Dirk
No, no, no. I won't admit this one at our KMK contest. It's ridiculous to enter that model. You leave the rest of the competitors no change of winning gold. 🙂
Let's come to the bar and you'll receive a drink from me. STUNNING. 👍
 31 August 2013, 18:59
Dirk Heyer
Hi mates!
The Mirage is not signed in for contest this year in Mol! :/
If it is possible I will take this model with me to show you. Maybe I will find a place to exhibit it , but not in contest. This Mirage is for another contest in Mol ! 🙂 🙂 🙂
This year I wanna sign in my Airacobra! 🙂

Dirk Heyer
Many thx mates for your kindly and very ambitious words.

So many of you liked my pictures I did in front of my hangar, and commend the realistic atmosphere., so I would like to say something about.
Well, at first it is an easy task to achieve a realistic perspective, as I`m going down and try to have a view like a quarter scale human. At this point my model looks something impressive and huge.
Some guys have recommended to make my pictures outside with a better quantity of light. During my early photographic experiments I did so. But as consequence of such bright light, a lot of details of the model were lost. Now I prefer to make all my pictures with daylight lamps in a large photo tent ( 120cm x120 x120 cm large).

@Christian Meyerhoff:
I explained the work on my hangar here:
Hangar in scale 48 as a photostudio | Album by Vlat

@Helmut Fraundorfer:
My next expos will be in Mol, Eindhoven, Main-Kinzig, and next year in Moveleo!!

Well being the last almost (almost!!!!) everything has been said but... no problems i will say it again 😄 One or even the best Mirage in NMF i saw, thais is really amazing! Congratulations Dirk.
You are one of the best modellers i know and i'm a fan of your work, thank you for sharing it.

well i said almost... and forgive me if i'm going to mention it but... when i see the stunishing work you have done there but... you didn't put an weighed tires on it?? Its like almost die in the beach, this doesn't take ANY value to your work, that i early mentioned is something of amazing, but... well, i hope you don't take me wrong.

Im still a fan of your art 😉 😄 😄 😄
