by Colin Norwood
(Previewed October 2000)

|
Colin Norwood has nearly completed his updating and conversion of Anton Coetzee's Cheetah
AFX to a Mirage 5BR. He has been sending along images to show the progress.
The first version released will be the "Mephisto" Mirage 5BR from Belgium followed by
other Mirage 5 and III variants.

This wire frame image taken from Aircraft Factory 99 shows the flap-activated
drag chute (similar to Jason Ashworth's Cheetah D).

|
You can see from this untextured example that the control surfaces and gear are now
on. The aircraft also has a more realistic engine exhaust.

|
He has also added fuel tanks and all gear doors. The landing gear and doors
will be fully animated. This image shows a Mirage 5BR in the camouflage pattern worn by the Belgian Air Force
|
|
He has split the fuselage, tail and wing surfaces into sections to give a better texture resolution.
There are over a dozen textures used now. This image shows one Mirage 5BR of 42 Sqn Belgian Air Force as it was painted to mark the unit's 70th anniversary.
