Marvelous Mirage!!! Marc Barris wrote: Did the F1 AZ use a center line drop tank, and if so, what color would it be.....? Yes the AZ did occasionally carry a center line 1160 tank, as you have it. The paint scheme on the tanks was the standard camo pattern. They did not distinguish between outboard and center tanks.

Great scratch build Marc . Must've taken some serious amount of elbow grease . Also, great that you've done it in the late camo scheme. Anyway, now that someone has scratch built one, hopefully Murphy's Law of modeling will see us get an IM model from one of the kit manufacturers..... |

This has been a huge undertaking, but it has been fun, as I am sure, the rivet counters will have a field day finding faults, but, as I always say, 'Show me yours" . I have also added some pictures of other scratch builds I have done as well....... Thank you for the kind comments so far. Marc I will post the latest build pictures this week, with the air brakes mounted etc, If you guys are interested, I have a web site that you can look at as well, https://barris.co.za Regards |

Astounding work Marc . I really like your PC-21 The main landing gear legs are amazing. Must've been quite a job sorting the angles etc. out... |
