Mirage III/5 airbrake pictures request.

Hi, i am looking for pictures on Mirage III/5 airbrake in open possition, i am planning to build mi old 1/32 Revell Mirage III and convert it to Mirage 5P4 standard. What i really need are pictures that show the internal structure on the airbrake and the hatch below it.

I hope u can help me.

Thanks.

edited: spelling.

Hello,

First, I'm sorry but I don't have pictures of the airbrakes, but I know the Mirage very well, and most of the time, Speed brakes are slightly out on ground. This is because we used them to depressurize the hydraulic system. As a result, if you don't manage to find out pictures, you can represent only the details of the speed brake without detailing the bay.
I made them few years ago from schematics taken on a real aircraft when I was in the air force. In fact the bay is divided in two parts (upper and lower) and as I remember , there is one accumulator in each.

Well, I don't completely answer your quiery, but it was the opportunity to talk with a scale modeler from south america.

Bye bye

Eric, thanks so much for replying. I know what you mean, i am planning to build my Mirage with airbrakes in slightly open position, similar to this:

As you can see the airbrakes are enough open to show some internal structure below it and i think it will be not so hard to see because it will be in 1/32 scale.

I still have enough time to research on this subject since i have just ordered a new scribing template and a rivet wheel to detail Mirage surfaces.

All help is welcome.

P.S: Eric, if you have official drawings on Mirage III explaining this area, i would like you share it with me please.

Thanks.

Mirage rules!

Hi,

Actually, I have all the paper maintenance documentation. Since I'm not an expert in computers, I can try to scan some samples and send them you by mail. If you agree of course to give me your e-mail.

See you soon,

Regards,

Eric.

Eric, Thanks so much. Taking part of his forum is being a good experience.

PM sent.

Regards from Peru.

Give me one week for me to try to scan the doc.

See you.
