Absolutely amazing to see how every part is made from scratch. Masterclass work Adrian!

Many thanks Morne, as you know there is a lot of input for very little output! I am watching your progress with great interest and really am enjoying it!

Amazing result, indeed, my friend @adrianstarling!
A brass tubing scratchbuilt 1/24 Mirage F.1 landing gear! Who could have imagined that!
Indeed the F.1 LG is complicated - and darn beautiful.
Looking forward to your progress!

Adrian, I just noticed that yesterday SpecialHobby announced they will issue a SAAF F1 box this spring, albeit in a somewhat smaller scale (1/72) named South African Commie Kilelrs. It sounds like an interesting story with a SAAF F1 shooting down a MiG!

Erik, that is very interesting and thanks you for sharing. I attach a excerpt courtesy from The SAAF AT WAR 1940-1984 (Brouwer/Louw) showing the sequence of events.

Totally awesome, Adrian (@adrianstarling). Your scratchbuilding continues to amaze.
Adrian Starling said 3 years, 1 month ago:

Many thanks George, it is very enjoyable and the nice thing is that we learn something new everyday from our fellow members which makes our hobby so inspiring! Your words are appreciated.

Well - now that Erik has tickled my funny bone with talk of the SH kit in 1/72, I may just have to build another F1! Love all the work with the metal tubing and the gear well detail. Beautiful.
Adrian Starling said 3 years, 1 month ago:

Many thanks Greg, appreciate your kind words. Turn temptation in reality! A great machine and would really like to see a 1/72 finished in your masterful hands!
